Last Thing You Bought?

Well, I did it again. As in neglecting to read the damn ingredients on something I bought. :fp: So Jerry got my Dr Praeger's Spinach Littles... they're marketed for kids, I guess, but I've had the kale puffs & wanted to try these... they're "fun-shaped" potato/onion/spinach hash-brown things... plus I had a coupon. But they've got egg whites in them. :brood: If it were a non-perishable item, I'd just return/exchange it... but not frozen or cold stuff. :|

Anyhoo, I also got a six-pack of beer, a six-pack of toilet paper (for both bathrooms at Jer's, he never buys), a couple bags of no-salt Kettle chips (sale & coupon), a Core beverage, a container of organic baby spinach, and one stalk of celery (to complete the chickpea salad, which it just did)....

Hidden ingredients are a pain. I was cooking for a celiac once when I lived in Wales and was about to put soy sauce into the mix when he suddenly stopped me and showed me that it contained wheat flour.:eek: Wish I had bought Shoyu!:(
 
Trader Joe’s visit this morning, my first in about a year.

One 6-pack bottled water
Water, one 1.5 liter bottle
1 salad, Classic Greek
1 salad, Southwest
1 salad, tomato and mozzarella
1 salad, Italian country (which I ate for lunch)
1 bag of tortilla chips
1 bag of sweet and spicy pecans
1 bag of raw almonds
2 packages of baked tofu, teriyaki flavor
1 package of steamed lentils
1 box of blueberries, 110 oz
1 box of cherries, 1 lb

One of the other residents was there with me. She bought a package of celery and gave me half later. I’m going to give her half my lentils since there’s a lot and I don’t think I’ll be able to eat them all and they’re very perishable.

From Discount Health Foods:

Didn't find a lip balm without beeswax, but I did get my first organic/cruelty-free/etc. deodorant....

And while I was checking the coolers, I noticed a bottom shelf of dips/spreads that were 50%-off, so I got this vegan pesto....

Normally $7.49!! :eek: But, again, 1/2-off & I also had a text coupon for 15%-off my total bill.... :cool:

Damn, it's SO lemony! WTF? :confused: And I don't taste basil at all! :down: I've made way better, but I wanted something set to go for my sandwich. I'm gonna doctor it up a bit, to my liking... but I get to thinking: I've developed a knack for making dips/dressings/sauces/gravies... Could I sell some of it some day?? o_O It's too intimidating of a thought.... :bag:

Then at Kroger.... They're still out of Teta dip (even though it's on sale). :brood: And they're out of my peach/mango Core beverage so I got a watermelon/lemonade, some Heineken, a bag of unsalted Kettle potato chips, and two Roma tomatoes.

And in the discount section, I found an 8 OZ. (227g) bag of Hammons black walnuts for only $3.49. :up:

A pair of washable crepe slim pants in black at the Eileen Fisher store on Robertson Blvd. Yes, those clothes are expensive, but I’m working toward a $100 credit, and I have about $400 more to spend to get there. Because I got fat over the last year, I’ve had to replace most of my wardrobe, and I got a lot of nice clothes from EF. The pants I got yesterday are very nice but stretchy and fit me well, and I needed a pair of nice black pants.

I’m tempted to get those same pants in either white or bone for summer, but here’s the thing; All the other pants I’ve bought from EF have been Petite Petite (XS in Petites), and the pants I just bought are actually regular Small, not Petites. They fit me well in the waist, and because they’re not Petites, instead of being ankle pants, they’re “regular” length, meaning they’re a bit longer at the bottom, but still a good length for me. I don’t know if I should buy the other color(s) in that style in the same size or the size of my other pants. They’re not exactly the same style, but very similar.

I had a strange urge to stop at the Goodwill Sun, for no particular reason. I made my way around without anythijng, thinking that they overpriced stuff, when I saw a Ninja Professional Kitchen system- blender, processor, even dough blade and a kneading thing- on a rack ready to be put out. The parts inside were still in their cardboard fittings- and priced at $15.00 :eek:.
I thought if it didn't work I'd give it to a tech I work with, but it works! I downloaded the manual, that's all that was missing

Do I really need this? I did a while ago, and bought a $36. Oster blender, and I have a cheap processor o_O...
Pretty happy though! Have to try it out

I'm going to see if I can buy Italian bread and breadsticks online.

Can you wear something under it, like a camisole or tank top?

I have a little black jersey dress that I would usually use underneath but I think it might look odd. That is the problem with Amazon, sometimes their clothes are good quality and sometimes not.:mad:
 
Very soon i'll receive my paycheck which my mom will expropriate again:sigh:,..... but today she bought me a cool beige rucksack with a huge textile drawing of a funny kitty on it. I'm a hippie now!!! :leer::rofl:

FIrst time at Penzeys Spices! I got there free gift of salsa spice mix and Madagacar vanilla and an enameled pin that says 'embrace hope', and a magnet with a heart that says 'kind'. So nice! I love how this company is being so supportive, and their communities are giving right back!
I also got Zatar seasoning, and juniper berries. Are the juniper berries you buy any different than what I could pluck off a juniper bush o_O
Then i had to go across town just to buy my water pitcher filters from another Aldi, since mine is being remodeled!
I stopped at a farmers market and got a great big watermelon, a big cuke & beautiful blueberries. A giant cabbage and an eggplant for $1 each,
Then my last stop was at the Indian store for dates. They had medjool dates last time I was there. today only deglet. I did buy a pack- 24 oz- the man who normally never steers me wrong on taste did this time. He said he much preferred the deglet noir- I do not. they have an almost fermented- fruity- taste I guess. He said they were very fresh :rolleyes:

Did you go to an actual Penzeys store? I’ve only visited their website. The Penzeys store in Santa Monica closed a while back, and I think there’s only one store left in Los Angeles County, and it’s maybe a two hour drive from here. I’d love to browse in one of their brick and mortar stores, but not practical, alas.
