Last Thing You Bought?

[MadamSarcastra]

I had a coupon for Full Moon dog treats which Jer gets all the time for Mojo (human grade), so I got the bag of "chicken nuggets" (Mojo was extra excited 'cuz he got groomed today, too!)... I bought a bottle of Silk hazelnut almond-milk creamer, two bottles of Bai Costa Rica clementine beverage....

And I had prepped some more lo mein earlier, but the canned stir-fry veggies leave much to be desired... so at the store I went looking for another vegan (frozen) Asian-noodle-somethingorother to mix into my pre-made stuff.... And I noticed that those Kashi Creamy Cashew Noodle Bowls (normally $3.69) were on close-out for $1.89!!

So I grabbed four of 'em....

Wasn't tall enough to reach further back for more. LMAO

Aaaaaaaaaa! ADJIGA!!!


We had to buy something and went to the nearest pathetic building which contained 5 small different shops and a pharmacy shop, which was closed because its dinner time lasts for 3.5 hrs. Mom was hurrying me up, but i was looking at that garbage attentively, as i was trying to find something exotic. And i found home-made adjiga, which had been made by the vendor woman, Lily. She was very polite and told us how to make local adjiga, and even showed us dried Regan weed. All caucasian people have always been telling me about regan. Today i googled it, and it says that it's basil! BUT(!) the herb they described doesn't look like one, and the thing which Lily showed us today is not basil! It smells awesome, though. I know that there are lots of recipes of adjiga. We'll see if her one appears to be edible,- i'm gonna take this box to buffet tomorrow and eat with my meals. Anyway, adjiga is so beneficial, and i looooove it so much, that i can just lick it like sheep lick salt.
Also Lily told us that i can find my beloved armenian beans at the famous Gagra's market, and she promised me that she would bring spicies and seasonings for me.

Last night I had left Kroger & was about to pick up my pizza, then I realized I had forgotten my tiny plastic pizza cutter/bottle opener at home... so I whipped in to Family Dollar across the street, picked up a pizza cutter for $1.50... then I started browsing the cheapie DVDs....

I ended up getting:

and

Now I have a NON-bootleg copy of The Big Lebowski! And this brings me to two Monty Python flicks & six Tom Hanks movies. LOL

I just ordered a new bistro table for my deck from Wayfair. It is supposed to come in a couple of days. My current one, a mosaic tile style, has cracked due to the weather. This time the tabletop is made of tempered glass that is supposed to withstand the elements. It wasn't too pricey, either, which was nice. It has a brown finish and will match the chairs I have.

At the Gagra city's market we bought:
Red adjiga, green adjiga,
My beloved marinated yellow armenian beans(!!!),
Swanese salt (the vendor gave it to us as a gift),
Marinated bamboo(!),
Dried instant adjiga,
Sumac ,
Tkemali sauce,
Soft ripen peaches,
2 glasses of disgusting wine,
And stupid slippers for mom.

@Val --I found different recipes for adjiga. This one i'd like to try-
Mom’s Adjika Recipe – A Russians’ Pesto! (Аджика)

then this one is completely different-
Adjika – Georgian Style Chilli Paste

Ordered a cabin filter for my Mazda. Looked on youtube for how to install. What a lot to get disasseble and disconnect just to get it out! But I know it's a ridiculous price to get done at a shop. I paid $15.00 from amazon (got the free prime for 4 months!)
Was hoping to do tonight but hasn't gotten here yet

You seem to buy a lot of DVD’s. Do you have a large collection, or do you give them away or sell them when you’re done with them?

I got Fresh Thyme brand of worchestshire sauce that's vegan. I don't think it's much like regular (what i remember- l really didn't like it) but it's soooooo good! It's got tamarind, ginger, good vinegar....

I looked at other vegan worchestshires and they all so very different!

I bought a 12 oz can of Performatrim Ultra chicken stew at a new pet store by me. They only sold higher quality stuff and had a very nice diy dog bath area!
Smelled pretty good and was definitely good ingredients. I was buying Mimi meow mix cans and found this was actually a better buy, for better food

No, I have a lot of DVDs....

I have a long, wooden CD crate similar to this:

That overflowed years ago. Now I have A-H movies sticking out of a top drawer upstairs at Jer's, then the crate has I-Z movies... and I have a separate box for collections of two or more movies & older DVDs in cardboard cases... but that's overflowing now, too. I think it may be time to invest in a shelving unit.... LMFAO

I ordered some sweet orange essential oil for my oil diffuser and a pack of dog toys.

I found The Gift quite disturbing. It was a good film.

I love Jason Bateman & his dry, sarcastic, straight-man/deadpan wit... I thought it was quite interesting to see him take a very dark, extremely unlikable turn.

From Discount Health Foods I bought two containers of bulk nooch & a small bottle of tangerine essential oil.

From Kroger I got a gallon of purified water, some beer, two tiny cans of peas & carrots, and Go Veggie vegan cream cheese.

On Thursday i went to "Crossroads" and got: a big pail of sauerkraut (finally); small pails of pickled shredded carrots and of korean-style pressed soy fiber; a bunch of my favourite beet-potato-carrot-peas-pickle salad; huge pack of mixed frozen veggies; wet wipes, a nectarin and dill. It cost $9.8. Mom didn't believe me. Yesterday at the village grocer i got: 3 disgusting juices; 2 more pails of pickled pressed soy fiber; 4 dark chocolates, mediterranian salsa and 2 nectarines. It cost $8.15. Mom decided that it was too suspicious and started to demand a receipt. Then she examined it for a loooong time... Seriously, i could have bought several packs of legumes and grains for these money. I began to notice a long ago, that you can't buy e.g. a decent piece of meat for even $13. But all people around never stop telling me how crazy i am to lead such an expensive way of life.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Look at this! Almost all of these are fruit and veggie chips! They appeared long ago, and i don't buy them, but maybe in winter i should give it a try.
We've spent $38 at "Crossroads", but it's worth it. Now mom has stayed at home, as the worker is going to come and fix my sofa and give back the keys. I'm outside, on the bench, but it's so chilly, that i'll have to leave soon.
So we got: 3 disgusting juices; 2 qutabs; a big pail of beet-potato-carrot-peas-pickle salad; a small pail of korean-style pressed soy fiber; 4 nectarins; cayenne salsa; apple cider vinegar; frozen veggies; 9(!) different-flavored dark chocolates; tomatoes; russet potatoes; pickles; wet wipes; eggplants, dill and peppers "Lastochka" for making "MESIVO" (a funny and a little rude name for a stew). For mom: bread, eggs, ham, several greasy pies, cheese cakes, paté, cream cheeses, butter, etc...
This is where i am now, and i don't wanna go home...
