Last Thing You Bought?

Got some beer at the party store, then I headed across the street to Discount Health Foods and wandered around aimlessly.... I ended up grabbing a container of bulk nutritional yeast (0.38 lb for about 5½ bucks)... I picked up a container of bulk organic quinoa that was on the discount shelf (0.77 lb for $7.12, 30%-off)... then I wandered back to the coolers/freezers & remembered I got a text coupon from DHF today for 20%-off all Dr. Praeger's veggie burgers... they had about a half-dozen different flavors! I tripled-checked ingredients & got this one:

I zipped over to Family Dollar after that, grabbed a bag of frozen broccoli cuts, a box of elbow macaroni (no Barilla pouches there this time), a Febreeze Air (Hawaiian), and a $1 deodorant (Suave tropical) to last me until I can find a better one that I actually like. LOL

Yummy! I would love that- Looks like pureed fruit that's been sweetened and dried into a rope.

liquorice is really black and liquorice flavored -- but--they have fruit flavored and call it liquorice that is just fruit or fruit flavor, and either just dried fruit or a cornstarch type base. I've seen Panda brand before but never had that brand. I have had some like that called Aussie soft eating liquorice, strawberry flavor.
Fruit ones are not made from liquorice root though, just called that
Oh, we have Twizzlers! All kinds of flavors, even chocolate!

I ordered four things from Amazon yesterday.

Two Goody hairnets (called slumber caps), pretty old-fashioned, I’ve been using these practically my entire life. (When I was young, I’d go to bed with these HUGE rollers in my hair, and a hairnet to protect my hair and help keep the rollers in place. Those were the days. Thank goodness they’re long over. :p ) They’re hard to find now; I can no longer find them in the brick and mortar stores, so when I found them on Amazon, I decided to get two. I use them mainly for keeping my hair off my forehead when I’m washing my face, but when they get stinky and I wash them, the elastic eventually dies. I’ve used headbands in the past, but they’re very tight.

An AmazonBasics USB 3.0 extension cord, mainly because my Fitbit charger cable is very short. I checked the Fitbit website, but it’s the only length available for my Fitbit model.

A new Anker two-port charger plug. It’s basically the same as my old one, except the folding plug on the new one apparently locks into place when inserting it into the outlet. My old one keeps trying to close when I do that, plus it works erratically now, depending on which outlet I plug it into. It still works in my big multiple-outlet surge protector, which sits on the floor next to my recliner, hence the need for a USB extension cord. I sprung for the 9.8 feet (3 meter) version of the extension cord.

The adapter and extension cord just arrived. I tested them out, and both work as expected. The hairnets will take a while to deliver since they were ordered from a third party.

I think i'll never buy Panda bars again. It's expensive and stupid.:confused: But i finally found these:leer: (6 of them)- actually i sent mom to Magnet for them:devil:. "Frutilad" (the one above is with orange and lingonberries, the one below - with cranberries and raspberries). It looks and tastes like condensed fruit chutney! I tried it not long ago, but couldn't manage to get to Magnet since then, as my work ends late. ...I have to admit- this is the thing!:yes:

Can anyone, pls, tell me, should i buy such thing as hummus??o_O You can laugh at me, but i've never had it before, as it's a new product for us, and the trend of eating it came to us from Israel not long ago. Our ancestors managed to survive during centuries without any hummus, and no one had died because of its absence.:D Btw, abkhazians make their own product similar to hummus, but it's quite nasty as it requires much cilantro:yuck:...
Is it worth it? :hide: I mean, there are some varieties of hummus in big trade chains, but i don't often go to hypermarkets, and it is ridiculously expensive there, e.g. in my town, ...but yesterday i found cheap hummus at "Crossroads" near my work, and it costs only $1.53!:) The flavors seem tasty for my liking. So, i might buy it... Is it hard to digest this product?? What does it taste like in your opinion?:iiam: :ignore:

If you think you'd like a paste/dip of mashed garbanzo beans/chickpeas, tahini/sesame, olive oil (preferably), garlic, lemon juice, and whatever extra flavors may be added... then you'll probably like hummus. ;)

Have you looked at recipes online? Would it be possible & cheaper for you to make your own? o_O

Thanks.:hug: We don't even have such products as garbanzos, chickpeas, tahini and sesame seeds.:rofl: Maybe, somewhere online you can buy them. I've never even seen them.:D But you're right, i'll try to make it myself, if i like it this time. So, just for the experiment's sake,- i'll buy it and see what happens... I'm pretty sure that some of the ingredients might be replaced by some things native to us.:p
