Last Thing You Bought?

shyvas said:
A huge haul of shopping - over 30 kilos - from the UK. I had to pull two suitcases up from the garage in the torrential rain at 1 am in the morning.

Welcome back, shyvas. I hope your trip was wonderful. :)

I did a Vegan Essentials online order:
Liquid hand soap
Nacho "cheez" tortilla chips
Two ABC Co. cookies (peanut butter-chocolate and chocolate chip)
Nail polish, a pretty shade of pink pearl

It was fabulous. I want to go and live in Brighton. Brightonians and the city are the best ever. :up:

I was walking past Lidl so I walked in and I was surprised how nice it was inside. I thought it looked more like a warehouse last time I was in one.

I bought some fresh bread, wine, fruit and a lovely bunch of flowers.

I also visited the Brighton's branch of Lidl's and Aldi's in Hythe Kent. Although they are both similar to the ones
that we have over here I was gobsmacked that they had products such as stevia, kale, vegan sausages and soya milk !!!! We don't get these kind of products in our local branches.

I love Aldis, but mine seems to have more great stuff than others in the US- although no vegan sausage! Best prices on quinoa, chia, flax, kale, organic spring mix greens, all kinds of beans canned and dried, loads of produce both organic and regular, good varities of hummus and now they have their own Brenner brand vegan mayo! It's different than Just Mayo- I want to say richer tasting? Very similar ingredients. Oh and a big selection of all things pasta, again organic, gluten free, bronze cut...good pricing. Best overall--good people and fast

I got a pair of Saucony cohesion 10 shoes that are right for my feet! :clp:I returned a pair of $92 New Balance that were wonderful except one spot on my right foot. The Sauconys were $39! So win win!
I've done better ordering from reading reviews on amazon than all the hours spent in shoe stores- and I do mean really good ones with experienced fitters. Just don't have the selection. I found a good pair of Asics after over an hour - $140 and still needed heel cups that were $50

So I hit Target, Lowe's and Home Goods after work and got following:
Two welcome mats for outside the front and back doors (previous owners had left theirs, and they were pretty beat up);
An inside mat for the living room;
A microfiber mat for the counter for when I hand-wash dishes;
Cat food, cat litter;
Kalamata olives;
Some thank-you cards;
A gift card to Home Goods for my friend Meg, who spent way too much on my house-warming gift. :);
A cat bed for Theo. I'm hoping he will take to it because it will help keep the fur off my ottomans;
Vegan lemon cookies. I can't wait to try these with tea;
Starbucks K cups for my mom

I only got home a bit ago, so I think dinner will not happen. Snacks for now, lol.

I'm stocked up on nooch! :jump: Picked up two containers of the bulk stuff at the health food store... 0.42 oz & 0.44 oz for $6.70 & $7.02, respectively.

Also nabbed a bag of frozen diced potatoes and a container of raw cashews at Kroger. The cashews soaked overnight at Jer's, I drained 'em & took 'em with me... they're soaking again (in purified water only). I'm transferring all the nooch to my Kal canister (better seal than the clam-shell cartons)....

Aldi's vegan mayo is awful :(. When I opened it I liked it ok, although it was different, more 'mayo' I think than Just Mayo, it is now a separated mess of oil and liquidy white. I dated it 6-28 when I opened so I'd know how long I'd had it. Hah! Didn't even last long enough to forget!
I got two and no longer have the reciept :mad:
 
Stopped at Dollar Tree after work-
toothpaste, 2 packs of spring rolls, Daily defense macadamia oil shampoo and conditioner that has the cruelty free bunny logo! Chocolate cookie wafers, a very big mug and wide detangling comb for my son
Opening the curtains this morning I saw a big gas grill on the tree lawn of the home for sale across the street. I went out asap and snagged it! :D. It's gas, but I read what to do to use charcoal. I don't want to grill much, but I sure did this last weekend

I have a friend who furnished his sunroom entirely with things from the side of the road. I have been keeping an eye out for household items during my drive to work. :D

You're savvy and very clever. Lots of well to do people just leave things (often quite pricey) outside of their homes. :up:

This is so true. One person's trash is another person's treasure. :D I have another friend who works for his town maintenance department, so part of his job is picking up recycling bins. That's how he gets magazines. He hasn't paid for one in years. :D

I'm still upset that I didn't get the accent table/desk my neighbor had left out!
The house I got the grill from has a double stroller from yesterday morning. I can't believe it's still there! If it doesn't get taken by garbage day I'll take it to Goodwill
