Last Thing You Bought?

I was on my way home from work on Friday, planning to stop at Trader Joe's for a few things. However, I was tired and not thinking about TJ's so I automatically got off at my usual freeway exit instead of the one before that which was the one for TJ's. And I automatically turned right instead of left to go to TJ's, so I decided to just stop at the co-op for a few things instead, the co-op being more or less directly on my way home whereas TJ's requires a bigger detour. And I'm glad I went to the co-op after all, because when I got there they had somebody offering samples of a brand of hummus called Hope Hummus, along with Stacy's pita chips. I was hungry, so I tried the original, sweet potato, and spicy avocado hummus. I like the last one the best; it's not that spicy as compared to a lot of spicy foods I've tried which are too spicy for me, so I ended up buying a container of that along with a bag of Stacy's multigrain pita chips. I also bought:

3 pairs of Maggie's Organics socks, two athletic and one tie-dye
2 Greek salads
1 box of organic blueberries
1 tube Tom's of Maine Sensitive formula toothpaste, wintermint
1 block of Organic Valley raw sharp cheddar cheese
1 pint Evolution strawberry lemonade
1 Annie Chun's instant noodles, teriyaki flavor (on sale)
3 Annie Chun's instant soups, 2 udon and 1 miso (on sale)
2 1.5 L bottles Crystal Geyser drinking water
 
4 packages of Tofurky slices (3 Roasted flavor, 1 Roast Beef) - I paid $2.10 for all of them!! So about 53 cents each. Three were marked down because they expire today and I also had coupons for all of them.
bag of frozen green beans for 99 cents for the dog (she eats veggies mixed with her dry food)
2 bottles of laundry detergent- $1.50 w/ coupons and sales

I went back to the co-op on Wednesday for Big Ten Day (members save 10% off everything) and bought:

another container of Hope Hummus spicy avocado
another bag of Stacy's multigrain pita chips
7 instant soups, three different brands, one of the brands on sale
grilled seitan salad
Greek salad
2 pints organic blueberries
2 pairs of tie-dyed socks
1 container soy "chicken" salad
1 container precooked lentils and brown rice
1 Tom's of Maine sensitive formula toothpaste, wintermint
2 1.5 L bottles drinking water
1 pint fresh squeezed organic OJ

These Big Ten Days are VERY popular. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of parking. The parking lot is small and hard to maneuver in and out. I circled the block several times; all the street parking was taken. It was 20 minutes before I managed to park and get into the store. :oops: I was in a pissy mood by then. But as I struggled to free a shopping cart from the rest of the carts, a nice woman leaving the store offered me her cart. That perked me up and I was feeling cheerful again. It doesn't cost anything to be nice to people, and it could really perk up their day. :)

Yes. I saw that you could do it last time I was there and thought why not. You are safe at all times because you are attached to a safety harness apart from at the top where you can take the harness off and walk around and take photos of the views. I'm a bit scared of heights but I'm really looking forward to it!:)
