How exciting!
I got my first laptop two years ago. I cried as I was opening the box. I was so excited and scared at the same time. Once you get used to it you will wonder how you survived without one . It's so convenient and you don't have to worry about getting backaches from sitting at the desktop for too long.

Please don't tell my sister, who bought me my laptop, but after I got the laptop, I continued to use my clunky old desktop computer for THREE years before I finally decided to switch to the laptop. I never told my sister as she would have killed me. She never knew. I was too afraid of the laptop. Now I wish I had switched right away. I LOVE the convenience of a laptop! :up:

One of the local grocery chains is going out of business, so everything in all their stores was 50% off. The discounts started on Friday, so needless to say, by the time I got there on Sunday evening (just planning to witness the chaos more than buy anything) the produce dept was totally empty, and most the aisles were totally wiped out. All the refrigerated stuff has been condensed to one case, and the freezer section wasn't much better. For less than $70 I got:

3 packages of veggie tenders
6 tubs of hummus (Does hummus freeze well?)
2 packages of tofu shirataki noodles (which I have been wanting to try)
2 bags of dried beans
9 boxes of different kinds of cereals (natural brands)
2 canisters of oat bran hot cereal
a bag of sprouted rice blend
a package of soba noodles
a bottle of coconut juice blend
2 cans of organic pineapple slices
2 pints of Silk non-dairy creamer (one hazelnut, one vanilla)
1 package of brown rice crackers (vegetable flavor)
1 shower puff

It's handy being veg*n because the stuff that's the last to go seems to be the veggie products, non-dairy milks and natural/organic brand cereals. I guess America's unhealthy habits benefitted me this time. I almost stocked up on some Amy's brand pot pie pockets and some veggie burgers, but decided I didn't really need them, even at 50% off.

^Amazing deals you got there!
Yes hummus freezes well. I currently have 4 tubs of hummus in my freezer. I've been buying 5-6 tubs at a time and just freezing them since my HFS frequently runs out of the brand and flavors I like.

As for the shirataki noodles....they have a very , very strong fishy odor when they are opened. You have to rinse them really well and parboil them to get that funky smell out. They also have a very odd consistency, similar to rubberbands. So yeah, they aren't the yummiest things on the planet, but they cook up fast and are versatile.

A new bathing suit. Tankini-style, from Land's End, which was having a sale. It's probably been seven or eight years since I bought one.
