I bought lightbulbs, an iron, a vacuum filter, paper towels, parchment paper and ground flaxseeds.
All part of the campaign to become a fully functioning adult human person! So now my home is bright enough that I can see all the things that need vacuuming and wiping down and I can use the flax to make eggless cookies and cook them on parchment paper for friends who I invite to my clean home and I can wear unwrinkled clothes while I host.
Brilliant!
I bought a new knife from the Dollar Tree. I have an old set of knives, but they suck and I'm missing a proper chopping knife. Unfortunately the Dollar Tree chopping knife sucks. It's not sharp at all and wouldn't cut through my onions. I read that aluminum foil helps sharpen knives. I'll have to try that even though it makes me cringe thinking about it. It's like nails on a chalkboard cringy.

Faded, please listen to me.
All knives are not created equal. You deserve a decent chopping knife. Please spend the money and invest in a really good chopping knife at a store that sells really good chopping knives. You should also buy a steel, a knife sharpener, and use that to sharpen your knives. If you do those two things, your really good chopping knife should last forever.
Professional chefs do not buy their knives at the Dollar Tree.
Thanks I will get a good one. Since I chop vegetables every single day it will be a justifiable investment. I got a surprisingly good quality stainless steel spatula and other kitchen utensils there (with the exception of their can openers) so I was hoping to luck out with the knife also.
I had to buy my cousin a decent knife because I couldn't cook in her house. She really loves it though and doesn't know why I got it for her.I love having good knives. But it makes it hard to go to someone's house and help cook if they have bad knives, because I'm spoiled and unreasonable about knife quality.
Cliff bars. I remember not liking them much when I first had them so I wanted to try again. Damn, they have a lot of calories!
