Last Thing You Bought?

Yes, then I've had bad radishes. All the ones I've ever had taste like nothing. Kinda like celery. Without the taste of celery.

Good radishes have a hot peppery taste to them. A really good radish will actually be hot enough that you might find eating it slightly uncomfortable. The heat is somewhat comparable to that of a raw garlic clove (though the taste is much different).
I like the taste of radishes.
 
Today I bought some rubber feet (for a oak board scrap I made into a reloading tool) $2.35
Some cup hooks (for hooking a net across the garage door in the pole barn - so my dog will be somewhat safe from wolves (and to a lesser extent cougar) while I'm working up there - I like to have the door up for air and light) $2.79
2 pvc male 3/4 inch plugs for an old double laundry sink I mounted on wheels that I'm taking to the land for doing my wash in. -I don't remember what these cost (not much) but anyway I'm taking them back tomorrow as I should have bought one inch plugs.
Season pass to the municipool $65.00
A rubber squeaky ball for my dog because she lost her old one and the 15 other toys she has aren't enough to keep her from asking for the ball several times a day (she thinks it's on top of the refrigerator - it's not) $5.95

Good to know. Thanks!
 
Last things I bought were from Amazon.
- A book that a friend/client of mine wrote called The Magic of Living Nutrition.
- Artisan Vegan Cheese by Miyoko Schinner
- a harness for my cat
Really excited about the cheese book and the harness. ^.^

I tried to get my local library to purchase this book, but they turned down my request - said there wasn't a wide enough appeal.

Is your cat leash trained? I used to put a harness on my cat when I went camping, she would crouch down and crawl around on her belly every time I put it on her. I could never get her used to it. Hope you have better luck.

Got one inch plugs - they don't fit either. Seem to be about 1/16th of an inch too big (a size they don't make). A clerk at the hardware store found me some different threaded plugs he thought might work - no luck. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some corks.

WUT?! Bleh. That sucks. I bought the book for about $13 on Amazon...quite inexpensive really imo, though I hemmed and hawed about the purchase for days, as usual.

My cat is not leash trained. This will be our first attempt. I've read up on some strategies and believe Charlie will like it. (Edit, at least he will like going outside)
He didn't fuss at all when I measured him for the harness either... Fingers crossed!! :)
 
A birthday card and a Father's Day card for my dad
Cat food
Bike repair/tuneup. I haven't ridden my bike in three years (I've ridden other people's, though, hehe). It needed some major work thanks to the movers, and I finally got around to getting it fixed. I can't wait to ride it!

1. Fantastic Sams: Color treatment, wash and cut, plus I had my eyebrows threaded. I also bought shampoo and conditioner. This is so I'll look nice for my birthday tomorrow. I was going to ask for a hair-softening treatment, but I decided not to splurge TOO much.

2. CVS Pharmacy:
A small zippered pouch to keep eyeglass stuff (cleaning wipe, small bottle of cleaning fluid, repair kit) in my purse, and, because they're cheap, an extra small zippered pouch to throw into my purse just in case I'd need one.
2 cans of chocolate covered almonds
bag of popcorn
bag of tortilla chips
3 birthday greeting cards, buy 2 get 1 free with a CVS coupon
A large zippered cosmetic bag to hold all my contact lens stuff. It's not just my contact lens but all sorts of paraphernalia that goes with it. This is meant to sit in my bathroom and keep everything together in one place.
A medium sized cosmetic bag for my contact lens and some of the stuff that goes with it, for taking with me when I go out.
2 bottles of water
1 gallon of purified water for the cats' drinking fountain
toilet paper, used a coupon
a small portable fan on a lanyard for wearing around the neck
2 boxes of Breathe Rite nasal strips, and I had 2 manu coupons

items to donate to the local women's shelter
1 Tom's of Maine antiperspirant, used a manu coupon
2 bath poufs, one pink and one blue, 2/$5 and I had a $1 off CVS coupon
3 packs of multicolored hair bands, buy 2 get one free
2 containers of CVS sunscreen, used a $2 off CVS coupon

I also had a coupon that took an extra 25% off the total.

After I dumped everything in my car, I walked over to:

3. Subway and got for my dinner:
a footlong veggie delite with avocado
bag of potato chips
bottle of Diet Coke
and apparently because I got avocado, which costs extra, I could get a free cookie, so I got a big chocolate chip cookie

$140 worth of Whole Foods. My son was with me, and we were discussing vegan Amys pizza (we both like the no cheese over the Daiya one) and a vegan guy came over to discuss vegan pizza. :) He says the sweet caramelized onions are the trick to Amys tasting so good. :)
