Last Thing You Bought?

Oh definitely. I adore Big Lots. There's so many hidden gems there that happen to be vegan. I'm really excited because I got a coupon in an email from them yesterday for $5 off a $5 or more purchase! I can't wait to use it.

I can't drive by a produce stand without stopping no matter how much my fridge is overflowing with fruits and veggies. I am so fortunate to live in an area where I can get dirt cheap fruits and veggies during the summer/fall.


:yes: Same here.

BL's is one of the places where you get the best deals. I like their durum wholwheat pasta, drink sticks and chocolate. I often pick up fruit, veg and items for the doggie. :yes:

A pair of silver tone earrings by Jones New York, at The Bay. They are dull and not shiny like in the photo:

Oh, I HATE it when the photos misrepresent what the item actually looks like. In my book, that's outright fraud. :bang: I've bought stuff that didn't look the same as it did in the photos; in a lot of cases, the items were bigger or smaller than they looked in the photos, and with no disclaimer like "not true to size" as a warning. :fp:

I bought the pair directly from the store The Bay in Nanaimo. They really do look nicer in real life as opposed to the photo.
 
3 shirts and 1 pair of yoga pants from the thrift store-all $2 each
2 big cans of Halo dog food- $48 cents with coupons
4 gigantic cans of diced tomatoes- 60 cents each
2 large bottles of chewable vitamin C- $3.50 each

I bought some spring rolls and chips from a Chinese restaurant and then ended up buying more things from the neighbouring shop as I was waiting for my food.:D I also bought vegan rose wine, vegan chocolate puddings, lentil salad, soya milk and a vegetable samosa.
 
I walked over to the pharmacy to return what was left of the medicines I had been giving to Bear. I was hoping for a partial refund, but the guy said there was a state law that said he couldn't. Oh, well. I then went next door to Rite-Aid drugstore and bought:

3 packages of pumpkin seeds
1 small bottle of water for the walk home
1 package of underwear
3-pack of socks
plastic pill pouches, 50 count

When I got home I discovered that I accidentally bought men's socks, not women's socks. I wasn't paying attention because, as you know if you've been reading other threads today, this is one of the worst days of my life and my mind was preoccupied. So I'll either return them at some point, or wait until the coldest nights of winter and wear them to bed.
 
I just ordered from Amazon two DVD sets:

1) MacGyver, the complete series
2) MacGyver, the TV movies (these aired after the regular series had concluded)

I'd been tracking the prices of these for weeks, and they weren't quite as low as they'd been before (when I wasn't ready to buy these DVDs), but I decided I couldn't wait any longer.

Also, by Sunday afternoon I had run out of food, so I walked over to the Whole Foods which is a couple blocks away and bought:

2 boxes of blueberries, organic
2 organic Fuji apples
1 small container Greek orzo salad
1 large beet and kale salad
1 Amy's frozen meal, eaten
1 bottle of Evolution fruit smoothie
1 large bottle of drinking water

Also, at the checkout, when the guy was bagging my stuff, he said "thank you for bringing in your own bag". I don't know if they're trained at WF to say that, but dude, this is Santa Monica. You don't have to thank us. We do it anyway. :p
 
Last things I bought:
-2 albums by some chump named Joe McIlheran (haven't listened to them yet)
-some fold up sunglasses that don't stay on your face (I really only bought them for the pouch they came in)
-Oil on canvas painting
-Baritone ukulele (It works! Needs different strings though)

Antique fairs are such a good idea. So are garage sales.:p

a new (to me) Magic Bullet blender off of Craigslist for $10 (which is a steal considering they are over $50 new)
I had one previously that my friend had given me, but I killed the motor last week. After doing some searching around eventually I found the ad on CL and jumped on it. I use it daily so it's definitely money well spent.

So this evening I went out walking on Montana Ave. in Santa Monica looking to get something for dinner. There were different options, but I had trouble deciding where to stop. And a little too expensive also. I'd been spending a lot of money lately on doctor bills for my cats and me. I kept walking and ended up at Pavilions supermarket, where I checked out their deli section, their produce section and then their frozen items section. In the "natural" frozen food case I found Lightlife veggie chick'n pot pie, regularly 4.39, reduced to 3.99 for rewards cardholders, and there was a peelie (coupon) on the box for $1 off. So I figured for 2.99, I'd get it and see what I thought of it. I got that and a small bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper and took them home for dinner. What did I think of the Lightlife veggie pot pie?

Meh. Didn't care for the flavor much. I think I'll stick with Amy's veggie pot pies, which they didn't have at Pavilions.
