Last Thing You Bought?

Stuff from GreenTree Co-op in Mount Pleasant! :clp: Not gonna bother saying "organic" every time 'cuz there's nothing that's not organic. ;)

I brought all those containers from home, filled 'em up with bulk stuff... parsley, coriander, oregano, bay leaves, rosemary, cilantro, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, red quinoa, & green lentils.

A Limited edition of Born Free as a cheer up gift for a friend who has cancer.

This is my favourite book and the author was truly a pioneer with regards to animal conservation.

Drum roll please.......
$12 dollars worth of capacitors to fix a 53 inch Samsung tv my son picked up from someones garbage!
He said it was propped up right in front of the cans, which is common for people to do around here for things to get picked up by people. It was really dusty like it had sat for a long time. He went on youtube and found a very common problem with the power supply board, so I ordered caps to replace the ones that were blown, took it to work to fix, and now he has a huge tv! :eek:
I get the little one he bought for $20 for my bedroom! :)
 
I mentioned in the Movie Lounge thread that I finally got around to seeing the first Fantastic Beasts movie from two years ago. When I moved into assisted living, I had to get rid of the majority of my very large collection of physical books due to lack of space in my new apartment. All my Harry Potter books were among those given to charity. I replaced a lot of other books with the digital versions. Well, the movie reminded me of how much I missed the Harry Potter universe, and I realized that I hadn’t gotten around to buying the digital books. So I did that this morning, Nook books from Barnes and Noble, both the original seven books plus the Hogwarts Library books (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, etc) that the characters read. The nice thing about buying the Hogwarts Library books is the profits from those go to a variety of charities that JK Rowling likes. That’s twice, actually; the first time when I bought the physical books and now with the ebooks.

I’ve just restarted the first book, and I’m reminded of how much I enjoyed it the first time, when Rowling’s writing style at that time reminded me of Roald Dahl’s writing style. And the font is nice and big. My eyesight is half gone and I hate squinting.

Total cost: $75 Totally worth it to buy all those books again. :D

I bought one reusable cloth nappy. Yes, one. They're expensive! I'm going to have to pick them up every now & again to spread the cost.
 
From Family Dollar....

Last night, a Gildan hooded sweatshirt in "graphite heather" (I call it gray :rolleyes:)... they had one men's medium, but not in black so I got this:

And because of what happened Friday evening --- I made a vegan sandwich for Jerry with the Lightlife chickpea/red pepper deli slices & Chao tomato/cayenne cheese... he was blown away. "This tastes just like a lunch-meat sandwich!" I said to keep the rest of the deli slices & enjoy, told him about all the vegan sausages, hot dogs, bacon, & everything available at Kroger... he stopped mid-bite, was almost dog-like because his posture straightened, his ears perked up, his eyes widened... "BACON???" --- I grinned & told him I'd pick some up for him on my next trip to the store, so tonight I got him a box of Lightlife Smart Bacon... and it was on sale! :)

I regret not getting the Beyond Meat sausage now :(. I mean they were $2 a link- like a sub bun size link- and that's cheaper than any sub I could buy, but I don't anyway.... :rolleyes: I'll go next Sat....
Got more miso- seems that stuff goes up a dollar every time I get it! Now it's $7.99! I get this

I've gotta say, Dave's Killer Bread is killin' it.... at my Kroger anyway. :| The last three or four times I've wanted to buy their plain bagels, they've been cleaned out... of most other bagels, too. And the last time I bought the Powerseed bread, it was the last loaf (froze half, used it last week)... the rest of the shelves were empty, except for **** like raisin bread. :yuck: Nothing there tonight either. I mean, I know it's good stuff, but damn.... :pout: LMAO

So, I've still got that Go Veggie vegan cream cheese... it's still sealed, thankfully... just a-waitin' on some bagels.... :bag:
 
My first haul from some souvenir shops in Kazan' (these things were bought in the morning of the first day of our trip).
From the left to the right (the books are not mine):
3 packs of rahat-lokum (later i bought more);
the pillow with arabic patterns;
magnet depicting a so-called kazansky cat in the national costume (they have this cat thing,- they are worshiped, and their depictions are everywhere);
glittering magnet with the views of Kazan';
magnet with the word "Victory" from Sūrat al-Fātihah (first surah of the Quran);
two tiny packs of pastila (one appeared to contain cinnamon, i couldn't eat it and gave it to a girl);
map of Kazan' city (on the other side there's a detailed map of the city center).
...Later on that day i bought 4 more packs of rahat-lokum. Its prices differ from each other very much. Those varieties i liked the best were very expensive (as usualo_O).

On the last day, in the artificial tatarian village i got these:
On the left- is a magnet (it's for Liza). In arabic it's written "Happiness and prosperity", in russian below - is "Elizabeth".
On the right - are also the magnets depicting Kazan' cats. It written in russian: "Meow from Kazan'".
Later, during the train stop in republic of Chuvashia, i bought the magnet depicting its capital Cheboksary.

When we were on Sviyazhsk island (where the monastery for male-monks is located), i bought two things for mom: a small icon of the martyr saint Pantaleon, and an easy-reading book of some "useful" orthodox prayers, in which ancient russian is transliterated into modern russian, +the proper syllables are stressed.

During my 2nd hike to another part of the city i bought a deodorant made of mineral salt.
Plus i went grocery shopping three times, and i bought a glue and tea for Annie, and three local subway tokens.
...Haha, i'm so lucky i'm not into McDonalds. Otherwise i would have had to waste a lot of money on that crap, because the meals at the cafes and the restaurants were pathetic even for omnis, and they spent enormous money on McDuck foods. ...I had to invent the other ways to find food. The one good old way is to go shopping on your own (if you have spare time in conditions of the absence of time at all). The other good old way (but not reliable) is to negotiate with waiters, managers and directors.:p

I placed an online order from vegan essentials for some of the Vegan Quorn products as they are not available here. Occasionally I will find just the chicken tenders. So while I was at it, I decided to try some other products as well. I think with the colder weather approaching, I’m craving comfort/junk food. :oops::rolleyes:

And I just realized I only got the Quorn patties. They also had the cutlets but I don’t like them much.
