Last Thing You Bought?

Kitties said:
I bought a new laptop today! Finally. I'm still using my old clunker at the desk because I'm afraid to take the new one out of the box. I hate new technology. Once I get it going though, it will be nice to be able to sit on the couch or bed and be on the computer. Plus I now have instant back up if the clunker finally craps out.

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.

Does it have Windows 8 on it, by any chance?

Oh oh I don't know. I'm going to take it out of the box tonight. The box is under the bed because my tabby was attacking it as usual. I'll have to let you know. Since my old laptop here has Windows xp, anything will be an improvement. I know the screen is totally different on this new one. My computer usage is pretty basic.

Thanks! And I'm glad to know others get nervous from new technical stuff. Glad it's not just me. :) That was one of my motivations for the new lighter computer, not to have to sit at the desk. I think it will be fun once I get over the new scariness.

If it has Windows 8, it will look very different from xp.

I bet it will be very fast compared to your xp machine! :D
 
Yes it's Windows 8. And this is my absolute first post on my new computer! Where else would I go?:)

Oh I know it looks soooo different. I'll get used to it though. I'm not wireless and one task will be getting the cords hidden from the cats. But I think I'm glad I took the plunge. I have high speed internet but I don't think the clunker utilizes that very well. You are right.

Some Wednesday shopping:

Bought two 24 can cases of Hill's Prescription Diet w/d feline for Bear at the vet clinic; cost was about $70 for both :cry: I'm crying because this won't even last two months as I give him a can every day. He's a BIG eater. :eek:

Then I went to the co-op for their monthly Big Ten day (10% off everything for members) and bought:

2 pint boxes of organic blueberries. Those will go fast. I love blueberries. :D
2 Greek salads
1 container vegan brown rice and lentils
2 pint bottles Evolution organic orange juice
1 package sliced cheddar cheese
2 bottles of drinking water
1 Amy's frozen meal which I ate last night
2 pairs of tie-dyed socks
1 cup instant hot cereal (for work)
4 instant soups of various brands (for work)
1 small container of precooked quinoa

I think that's it. Cost was about $70 also after the 10% was taken off.
 
drugstore:
1 Cherry Almond Good n Natural bar- free w/coupon
2 packs of Key Lime Pie Extra Gum- on clearance for 30 cents each
1 pair of flannel pj pants- on clearance for $2

grocery store:
huge bunch of collard greens- $1.49
Better Than Bouillon veggie base- accidentally got the Low Sodium instead of the regular sodium so now I have to return it.:bang: Sucks because I had to drive out of my way to another town to get it since I can't find it locally. I need the super salty high sodium one!
 
Mr. Noodles <--they are kinda gross but they were the only kind at the corner store
canned corn
canned mushrooms (for the pizza I'm planning on making for tomorrow night)
2 teeny apples

I went to Target today and was surprised how much veggie stuff they had. Got several Amy's products including the roasted veg pizza, burritos and non chicken noodle soup. All good prices.

:yes:

At the two Targets that I shop at, they also have Morningstar Farm products (for vegetarians) ss well as Boca Burgers in the freezer cases. :) Not to mention vegetarian instant rice, soup and noodle items and Glen Muir canned items.

Target has been stepping up its game with more veg items! I get Gardein faux meats there also, and they have my vegan Amys mac n daiya. <3

Bought a new office chair, boyfriend's cheap one has started to hurt his back (it's fine for short use, but working from home and using it for 9+ hours a day isn't good for him). We found a really good non-leather one with a £100 reduction on it :o And, as it's for work, he gets the 20% tax back on it, so it's cost us less than £50.

Walmart seems to be adding a bit more also. They now carry Quorn burgers and more Amy's stuff. I wish Quorn were vegan!

The Target nearest my house keeps reducing the amount of specialty frozen items. There's only one end-cap freezer case for them, and it's now half-full of Kashi things with meat in them. They used to have a few vegan Amy's meals, but they don't have any now- they've all got dairy. They got rid on some of the Gardein items and expanded the non-vegan Quorn offerings. :(

I've never seen the vegan mac&cheese anywhere other than Whole Foods, and they want $6 for it so I've never tried it.

That sucks. I wonder if individual Targets decide what to stock. I love that mac and cheeze, but it has way too much daiya for me, so I cook some extra pasta and it is enough for 2. It is I think $4.50 at target, which is ridiculous enough.

One other local grocery got rid of the Gardein stuff in favor of some veg but non vegan stuff in white bags, can't remember the name. If I were rich I would live in Whole Foods. :(
