Last Thing You Bought?

Well, I've still got a red bell pepper in the fridge, fading fast... I thought I'd stuff it. :D I really should've picked up a couple more peppers, but my mind was on grabbing basics to go with the already-wasting-away baby spinach & half-onion in my fridge... So I got (all Kroger brand) a can of garbanzos, a can of crushed tomatoes, & a microwavable bag of brown rice.... oh, and a bag of Daiya mozzarella-style shreds ($1-off coupon)....

That's way too much for one pepper.... LMAO :bag:

I just placed an order from
Amazon for a stainless steel soap dish, two boxes of sour lemon candy, and the soundtrack CD for the TV series Timeless. I had $35 in credit plus $16.09 cash back from my credit card, so the whole order cost me $6.74. I have a terrible cough reflex and frequent coughing fits, and I discovered when I had a bad cold in January that the brand of sour lemon candy I just bought is the only thing that helps suppress my cough reflex. Cough drops don’t work.

And finally, Sprouts Market:


A premade salad called Ka-Power Greens, containing kale, carrots, red cabbage, edamame, red peppers, red onion, and sunflower seeds with a sesame ginger dressing. I hope I like it.

I did! I just ate it for lunch, and I liked it! The dressing isn’t spicy at all. I loved the nutritional punch of the ingredients. I’ll definitely buy it again the next time I’m in Sprouts market. :yes:

I just made a run to Trader Joes. No fun to pass by all the special things they have because of sugars and oils, but I did :lol:
6 packs of tempeh
2 sprouted tofus
their frozen haricorts (fancy green beans)
raw cashew pieces
roasted plaintain snackies
2 TJ's unsweetened soy milks
watermelon- which I just had a few slices and yum!

Then I stopped down the road at Whole Foods to see about some different beans. They decimated their huge bulk section! :eek: ! They had tons of everything the last time I was there (a long time ago) and now - I don't even think as much as Fresh Thyme! Nothing special in beans, or anything. So I walked out...Don't like them

Well, actually, these berries are completely different. I've been searching for equivalent of our marshwort berries, but didn't find the precise word.:shrug: It grows on swamps only, and only in northern latitudes. We call it "Kljukva"... But cranberries grow in pine woods and in birch woods. We call them "Brusnika". :p If i knew the exact word for our swamp berries, i would tell it.:(
I guess, another typical northern berry is a cloud berry ("Moroshka"):drool:.

On a general note, I love learning about your culture through your updates @Val. I'm sure I am not the only one. I appreciate your contribution to this little online community. :)
 
I bought a duplicate auto title. There was a mistake made in filling out the back of the title transferring the gift vehicle to my partner, so we had to get another title and start over.

Yeeeey! I temporarily found a replacement for my beloved spinach pies, which are now unavailable in our town. These are qutabs with baked greens inside! :drool: (Qutab is an azerbaijani dish made from thinly rolled dough that is cooked briefly on a convex griddle [saj]). I tried them at the azerbaijani restaurant and loved them very much.:master: Also we got a huge jar of fresh sauerkraut, two packs of sauerkraut in bbq sauce, pomegranate juice, beet salad, melon pectine sweets, granny smith apples, dark chocolate, lemon pie:p; salmon salad and cottage cheese pie for my mom.:???:I found flax seed flour(!), but didn't buy it because i need to learn how to use it first.:chef: It got drastically colder. o_O The weather guys promise us snow in the beginning of June.:D

At Fresh Thyme, which has become my favorite store, all sales-
Two big portabellos- each a half pound
big fat asparagus
2 mango for $1
Mocha fresh ground coffee
Two Japanese yams (my usual) and one red yam
Thick cut oats
Smoked salt
Fresh ground almond butter (so worth the price :lick:)
White balsamic vinegar from the tap -I had to first pour a bit in the cap to taste-WOW! I have reg balsamic, and it's definitely good, but this is dessert like, sweet and thick! $3.99 a lb. on sale

They have organic olive oil on their tap on sale for $3.99 too. I think I'll get a small bottle . I find I do want to use some oil

At Kroger I bought some beer, two bags of unsalted Kettle chips, two celery stalks (singles), and a massive white onion.... and I purchased two months worth of half-off rentals (for half-off!) at Family Video... I think I only actually paid $8 for 60 days plus my rental.... LOL :)

I also bought a huge bag of potting soil/starter mix at Family Dollar and two small bags of river rocks from Dollar General (gonna put a few in the bottom of the empty lightweight aster/mum pots... I'm gonna plant my daisy seeds & I don't want the pots to tip over outside)....
