Last Thing You Bought?

Oh, ugh, I just got an email from Walmart saying part of my order was canceled. :sigh: Apparently the Sterilite drawer unit and the 2-pack toothpaste are no longer in stock, even though they were supposedly in stock when I placed the order. Disappointed, because the unit was the one item I was most looking forward to getting (my bathroom counter needs more organizing). So I just ordered those items from Amazon instead. I had to order a 2-pack of the Sterilite from Amazon because they don’t sell the item as a single, as Walmart did, and AFAIK I don’t really have a use for a second one. But now I’m getting two anyway. I also ordered the 2-pack of the fluoride free toothpaste from Amazon.

Not the first time I tried to order something from Walmart and discovered it was no longer available, but that time it occurred WHILE I was trying to place the order (it was a bedsheet set. I ended up buying the sheets, you guessed it, from Amazon instead). A bit frustrating when you think something is in stock because that’s what it says on the website, only to find out otherwise after the fact.
 
I'm going to buy some new vegan trainers. I got a pair that lasted ages from Vegetarian Shoes so I will look on their website first.

Hehehe:p, i finally bought that new lilac jumper.:leer: It's super soft and comfy. It has a print: "Stay warm".

I think I said on here that I bought a mustard jumper recently, when it arrived it was hideous and fluffy. That will be donated to a charity shop to inflict on some other poor soul.:D

Jumpers and trainers. My American brain is trying hard to interpret those. :???:

Oops:D, sorry, jumper~sweater. We use "sweater" too. But the most favourite word for russians in this case is simply "kofta" (which derives from Polish and Swedish. But this word came to European languages from Turkish "kaftan").
Kaftan - Wikipedia
"КОФТА" is one of our favourite words.:rofl:
 
Oh ok, that's funny. Never seen a dress like that before & it's a bit strange ! It's a bit like a pinafore.

I just ordered some toothbrushes from Amazon. These are Oral-B #40, soft bristles, contour head. I miss the old Oral-B toothbrush, #35, soft bristles, compact head, which was perfect for me, but the company discontinued it. :cry: The #40 just isn’t the same. The head is larger and the contour shape doesn’t clean as well. I wish they’d bring back the #35. I know for a fact that there are a lot of other people who want it back.
 
Just ordered a torque wrench, as it's time to change to winter tires again and my old one is no longer working.

Also recently also bought a battery-powered impact wrench which I also plan to use for that project, but this one can not tighten the wheel nuts to a desired torque, so I need the other one as well for the fastening.

Today i bought this:woo::

Sorry for the inappropriate picture... it's my leg with this evil device on:D.
I couldn't endure it anymore (because my extremely flat feet are causing much problems, including nasty valgus:bag:), so i bought this. It costs $43.:eek: But what can i do.:shrug: It's supposed to be put on at night.:cool:
 
First stop was the license bureau for car sticker renewal as well as my own drivers license. He took about 5 tries telling me I kept blinking when the flash went off. I finally opened my eyes really wide- good lord it's the worst picture ever! Usually I look stoned or drunk, on this one I just look--really stupid! I think maybe like Gary Buseys mugshot!
Then I went to Trader Joes for soyrizo for chili. I also picked up tempeh, Haricot verts and edamame
Then to the brand new Whole Foods. Geeeeeezzzz...what a crazy large expense glamorous place that is :eek:. When you walk in it's like a restaurant/cafeteria with all kinds of options and tables. I just wanted some kidney beans and to see the place. When I saw how little they had in the bulk section, and not good prices, I left.
They did have every vegan food I'd ever heard off- all of Miyokos products for around $10 each, Violife cheese about $7 for I think a 7 oz piece of chese, and Beyond Meat sausage--which i really really wanted but refused to spend $8 on them!
I also went to the discount store for some Natural Bliss almond vanilla creamer for the pumpkin spice coffee I have, and got more super cheap toilet paper!
I also stopped at the liquour store and spent a good while looking at everything. I really don't drink and am amazed how much it all costs! I ended up with a small bottle of New Amsterdam vodka. I so wanted good gin...

10-27-18 Haul.JPG

A pouch of Ready Pasta, two bags of those addicting veggie sticks (coupon), three tall-boys (3/$5), a Bai beverage, a teensy bottle of Absolut Grapefruit, two unusually large Roma tomatoes, a package of Flatout flatbread (that I had just seen a manger place on the discount bread rack), and something new for me: Lightlife chickpea & red pepper slices. o_O I've seen various Lightlife products in the veg*an section, never really noticed these... but I sure noticed that discount sticker! :D So I figured what the hell... they look a little scary, but I love chickpeas & I love red peppers... and if they taste anything like cold cuts - :hurl: - I'll just chuck 'em or pawn 'em off on someone else... they were so cheap I could hardly consider it a loss.... ;)
