Not as snazzy as Clueless Git's purchase but I bought one of these:

It's a Ford Escape. I needed a 4 wheel drive for some of the roads I frequent and this small SUV hauls both my dog and stuff well.

Have you tried them yet? I've tried the Daiya cheese lovers and the Amy's and Tofurky cheese pizzas. I'm not sure how when they all use Daiya, but the Tofurky is good when the others aren't worth buying again. IMO that is. The ONLY Daiya cheese product I've found remotely edible. Kind of reminds me of the frozen pizzas I'd eat as a kid. Not pizza parlor good but definitely worth buying again.
 
I think the Tofurky is the one the hubby ate and I didn't get to taste so I will make sure he doesn't get his hands on this one. I think I had the Daiya cheese lovers before and thought it was ok. I actually like the Tofutti slices...they remind me of Ellios pizza.
 
Bought plates for my Escape. $290.42.
Too much.
I used to buy plates for first car for $12.00 (I know this was a long time ago and the car was over 20 years old - but still...)

Are they personalized plates? Those can cost more.

But it's still quite a lot.
 
Actually part of it was for the new title, and they also charged me for the physical plates (from now on it's just a sticker to go on the plate) so next year it'll be slightly cheaper.

I was in the big city today (most of you would probably consider it small). Went to town for the annual rock and gem show, and to go swimming. Bought lots of rocks and fossils, but no gems (unless you consider tiger-eye a gem - ever since I was a little kid I've bought some tiger-eye at every rock show - it's tradition now).

Omelets were mentioned in the game-post-an-ingredient-or-food-that-will-go-with-the-last-food thread. Sounded good. So I also stopped at the health food store and got some chickpea flour.
 
I've been to Sweden today. As "food refuge" og "Harry shopping" as it's called. :p

- A jacket. Thin, and wind proof. Of the brand Stormberg (I love their clothes. It's ok price, good quality and they are one of the stores that comes out good when it's about enviroment, animal welfare and worker's rights).
- New Ecco shoes for work (not a good brand about enviroment I know, but it's one of the few brands I fit and can walk a lot in... :( )
- Food
- DVDs (three films and first season of Vikings)
- Detergents
- More woorm medicine for my dogs
- 6 new t-shirts
- A new frying pan
- Shorts for running

I spent too much money today... :p
 
I just placed an order on Amazon for the following:

Digital Innovations 60120-00 CleanDr Laser Lens Cleaner
$8.00
Sold by: BlueKangaroos
Condition: New

I hope this gets my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive working again. Plus, the CD player in my car is sounding a little funky, so I can try it with that as well.

Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB Portable External Hard Drive with Mobile Device Backup USB 3.0 (Black) STDR1000100
$59.99
Sold by: Amazon.com LLC

The guy who will be helping me back up my hard drive and install Windows 7 on my laptop said this is exactly what I need. Plus, he said that a warranty is not usually needed, but when he saw the price (which was slightly higher when I sent him the email asking him about it), he said I may as well get it. So I ordered the following:

Assurant 360º 2-Year PC Peripheral Protection Plan ($50-$74.99)
$4.74
Sold by: Assurant Solutions
Condition: New

Plus the following:

Remote Control Organizer Caddy - Solid Hardwood
$19.99
Sold by: North American Natural Products
Condition: New

Not really for my remotes, since I have a couple of these already, but they also make a dandy organizer for other things for the top of my nighttable.

And also the following:


Black & Decker BDH7200CHV 7.2-Volt Cordless Dustbuster
$19.99
Sold by: Amazon.com LLC

To replace my old 4.8 Volt B&D Dustbuster, which is about to crap out completely. It's very useful when one has cats that track cat litter everywhere. This will be my third Dustbuster in 15 years.

And finally, the following:


The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill
by Hill, Lauryn
$7.00
Sold by: Amazon.com LLC
Because everything else in the order is very practical, and I wanted something fun. :D

I got The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill along with several other CD's in a CD case that someone knocked out of their vehicle after parking in my driveway (I used to own a house across from a bar). I asked at the bar but no one ever claimed it. I didn't feel sorry for them though, as they had parked directly in front of my no parking sign.

Today I got a new insurance policy for my vehicle $312.00.
Between the plates and this, my new car is costing so much that I'm not going to be able to afford gas...... (not that I would have been able to anyway).
