So, what did you buy today, so far?

Nothing, just got my free flu shot: FLUZONE HD QUAD 2023-24 PFS

A saucepan

Seltzer, Low Sodium V-8, and Fat Whore Noosa Yogurt.

A rock.

Nothing as of yet. Don’t have any plans to buy anything today.

A whole bunch of '40s westerns with Guinn "Big Boy" Williams on Ebay. As one does.

I had shoulder surgery yesterday, and feel smelly, so I bought a bunch of anti funk products from Amazon. I also bought Peter Thomas Roth eye gel patches. They work great (temporarily) on eye puffiness and fine lines.

Groceries. $100 worth of not much.

Drano

A skinny iced latte, vitamins, Tylenol, Allegra.

Get well soon, r10!

GAS

Oh, I have plenty, r12!

Piss pads, feminine odor wipes, scented trash bags, rubber gloves, Lysol spray

Groceries - some protein but lots of fruit. I'm making homemade mostarda di Cremona. I just cut (and peeled some) 6 lbs of fruit.

I know, I type fat and may be going insane in my old age. But I like to make stuff to preserve.

40 lb bag of cat food

Nada. Nada damn thing because i'm short on dough til Friday/payday.

Yesterday was Friday, r17. Did you spend it all?

r1 why would you get your flu shot so early? it is only good for a few months.

Groceries and medicine. Everything was wildly overpriced. The new pharmacist was DREAMY, however.

r19 -- I got the super premium flu shot.

These are reserved for those citizens that the government is vitally interested in keeping alive.

You must never have been offered this souped up vaccine.

A bean.

In order starting at 8 am: an apple crumb pie, four chocolate croissants, fresh corn, and a cinnamon coffee cake at a local farm stand/bakery. We ate the corn at dinner and everything else is frozen.

Two incredible and pricey $7.00 eclairs from the local French patisserie. Worth it. Also consumed.

Silodosin, 8 mg. Drugstore.

Whole Foods Chocolate chip cookies, also now frozen.

Six cases of high potency infused Black Cherry soda at the not so local dispensary where it’s cheapest. Big discount by the case and the smokista was cute, wheeled it out to the car and loaded it for me besides. Nice young man: $20 tip.

Potting soil at Lowe’s.

And home by 11:30 am.

Damn, r23! All that by 11:30?

Nothing, but my new grow lights, for starting fall vegetables inside , were dropped off at my front doorstep, or so says Amazon. Nothing on my doorstep but dust and disappointment

Sorry, r25! Although dust and disappointment made me laugh!

R23 is insufferable

Insufferable, R27, is sitting in traffic. I’ll do the weekly grocery run when the supermarket opens at seven tomorrow morning and be home drinking coffee in the garden by half-past eight.

Not drinking changes one’s mornings.

From Trader Joe's,low sodium soup, from Safeway, Chobani Honey & Cream Greek yogurt.

Nothing, today.

But I bought some Kerrygold butter earlier this week. I forgot how good it is. I had some on a bran muffin.

r18 payday is NEXT Friday, you hipster doofus.

the 5th and the 20th every month. If either of those fall on a weekend, then the Friday before.

I went to walmart after the gym I was all pumped up , sweaty and mean looking so the riff raff stayed out of my way.

1. Great Value Antiseptic Mouthwash

2, Great Value Raw Peanuts

3. Clear American Pineapple Coconut calorie free sparkling soda

4. Tide Powder with Bleach

At Walmart this evening: gardening shears and gloves, potting soil, Windex cleaner, Ocean Spray Cran Juice cocktail, and some chocolate-covered pretzels.

Come at me bitches! I don't live near Walmart but it was on the way home from a family member's home. I saved a bit of $, say what you want they still have decent prices.

I want to get into reselling on Ebay, so I went to two thrift stores and found some Lulu Lemon active pants/legging thingies with the new tags still on them. I guess they are in big demand. We'll see, this is my first foray (total investment: $10.00). Wish me luck!

Groceries at the Publix

Nothing today. I bought a 55" Roku TV a few days ago. Very disappointed. The picture quality is fine on apps, but very uneven on live TV. Nighttime scenes are horrible.

I ordered a peal necklace and gold chain set , a little something to wear at my next outing

My T-Mobile auto withdrawal went through. Does that count?

Some lemons and limes and a couple of cans of baby corn for a dinner side dish.

A package of Depends and two pairs of semi-fashionable pull up pants for my bf's 95 year old mother. We took her out to lunch and she pissed her pants because she couldn't get her "fashionable" belt circa 1980 off in time. Anyone else?

A Dramm garden spray nozzle, some washers, and Bio bags for the kitchen green bin.

Barf bags

I'm surprised no one bought a whore.

Breakfast for 6, out. Felt like a big shot so I became Lady Bountiful. 🥐🍳🥞🥓🧇🍜(somebody wanted soup for breakfast. Don't ask.)

Neglected to buy bed pillow covers, for the pillows I bought the other day. D'oh! 🛏

Tortilla chips. Dying for chips and guac and salsa. 🥑🍅

2 pork tenderloins, which I'll roast as soon as I can get to Trader Joe's and buy some sweet potatoes(why turn on the oven for just one thing, considering the weather?) 🍠 + 🐷

Yarn. Michael's has had such a lousy display of yarn lately. Today was pretty good, I guess the delivery truck finally made its appearance. Got some nice, variegated, purple yarn to make a hat for an acquaintance. Also some self-striping grey, black and red yarn just because I liked the color combination. The snows will be here before you know it, have your hooks and needles ready, children. 🥶

Bronze what drugs are you on?

^^^^ None, neither recreational nor prescription. Honest!

May I ask why you asked?

You have a very “jet fueled” style of description

I bought a farm.

Rounds of drinks at a town festival

A new bathtub mat

r47 Is that song about you? You know the one: 🎼"Ol' Matt Damon had a farm E-I-E-I-O....." 🎶

A palo santo candle and a set of fragrances. This is very uncharacteristic for me.

Today I bought supplements (that will later produce expensive piss) and a suit on super super sale that I really want and which is 1 size too small to help motivate me to lose some more weight. Later I might buy some fragrance. At the Midnight to 2 am time frame, online fragrance shops change their promotions for the week and they occasionally list a few bottles to clear out at 50-75% off. These get snapped up quickly. Fo example $400 bottles of Amouage for 100 bucks.

[quote]R32: Clear American Pineapple Coconut calorie free sparkling soda

My honorary nephew likes those; I get them for him to have when he comes over. Have you tried Clear American Cherry Limeade? Those are excellent, by themselves, or with vanilla ice cream as a float. I also use it as a base for a refreshing drink, with a splash of real lime juice, some Tart Cherry juice, and the rest of the 32oz glass filled up with Lime Flavored Sparkling Water.

Shit spray

"Clear American" - first time I've heard of it. Is that some play on "Clearly Canadian" seltzer water?

Today I bought Boudreax's Butt paste and baby aspirin because my elderly dog has developed the equivalent of diaper rash on his abdomen/genital area and I also think he has a UTI - he's been panting like hell for the past 3 days and today started acting strange when I took him out to do his business. He very clearly didn't want to pee. He has become periodically incontinent over the past couple weeks and I thought it was just a progression of his semi-paralysis in his back legs which he developed a year ago. Now I'm not so sure about that, so I'll be taking him to the vet tomorrow.

I also bought Barkeeper's Friend and 0000 steel wool to try and take care of my not-yet-solved problem with hard water spots on my shower doors (I've tried everything else). And distilled water to use when cleaning so i don't cause more build up while cleaning. If it works, I'll be coating the shower doors with Rain-X so this doesn't happen again.

And a 2 liter of diet Coke.

r55 I've been using a homemade after-every-shower spray on shower doors and the tile for many years. Keeps everything clean, clear and smooth so nothing can build up. The commercial sprays also work well, but they can be expensive. My stuff costs next to nothing to make.

Nothing.

Nothing.

[quote] I've been using a homemade after-every-shower spray

R56 / BronzeAgeGay - what's in your spray? Thanks in advance!

Snow tires... Hey, they're cheap in the summer

Grandmother bought us some crackers, and a nice blouse for my mom.

I bought 8 2l bottles of diet soda, 2 salads, 2 containers of chocolate lowfat frozen yogurt, 18 lowfat yogurts (various flavors), two boxes of toasted oats cereal, 4 Smart Ones, small jar of pickle relish, free bottle of Tropicana Trop50 w/calcium, and one Wet Ones antibacterial hand wipes (to help remove sticky lubricant residue after onanism). $49.94 in total.

I had a poké bowl delivered. Ahi tuna. Avocado. Pineapple. Thai sauce (a little bit hot. A little bit sweet).

I bought an appartement in Nice.

Some industrial strength under eye concealer and a throw for the sofa.

Hemp seeds. I put them in my morning protein shake.

Watermelon, celery, mint, parsley, baking soda, broccoli, spices, frozen peas, coffee, and ribeye steaks.

Underwear from China online. The deals vary. I at least, will only buy 100 or 95% cotton which rules out 90% of the thousands of styles they offer. I’ve learned the metric system for clothing sizes, anyway, and thus far the quality’s been good and some of the prices have been great. More than anything it’s the selection: vast.

Every time I order I wonder if I’ll get it before we go to war with the Chinese. How will they handle returns?

r59 My pleasure. Here ya' go:

3 cups of water(tap water is fine, but you could use distilled if you want)

1/2 cup rubbing alcohol(70%)

1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide(3%, the standard stuff)

1 tsp. dishwashing liquid(Dawn, Palmolive, whatever you got)

1 TBSP. of the liquid drying/sheeting agent that is used in dishwashing machines( Jet-Dri, Cascade, whatever you got)

Pour everything, in the order given(a couple of these ingredients are very bubbly if poured in too fast) S-L-O-W-L-Y into an empty, washed-out opaque 32 fl.oz. spray bottle(it must be opaque or the peroxide degrades pretty quickly, thereby becoming useless) Once everything is in the sprayer, give it a few easy shakes to combine. Spray this mixture after every shower on shower doors, tile, chrome, etc. Don't squeegee anything beforehand, this mixture will combine with any wetness and make it easier for it to run down vertical surfaces. No need to rinse it off. After awhile you'll get to know just how much and where to spray, because the dishwashing liquid will let you see where the runoff goes. This spray can't remove crusted-on hard water build-up, make sure your shower surfaces are clean before you use it the first time. In other words, clean your shower to your satisfaction, take a shower, then use this stuff after every shower from then on. 🚿 😁

Thank you, BAG! Once I get this sucker as clean as I can with BKF, i'm definitely going to use your mixture. I'm sick of this crap!

Two huge vats of Miralax

Chinese made sunglasses at H&M at a 80% off to give as tiny prizes in games at school. My lefty students might balk a bit but the styles are cool and the price was right.

Did you poop, r71?

I hope so!

A refill of Ozempic, and two 100-foot water hoses.

Fancy Feast and Friskies wet food (my guys prefer Reveal, Applaws, and Royal Canin and they have better-smelling poops on those brands, but it's not in this week's budget); green onions, shredded cheddar, and sour cream (I'm doing twice-baked potatoes this evening), a lemon pepper rotisserie chicken, and gin (I've finally figured out how to mix gin cocktails where the gin doesn't taste like medicine!). Oh, and limes.

Hulu live TV subscription . I’m testing it out, but there’s no trial period.

Razors, decaffeinated coffee in sachets, olive oil, refuse bags and dish soap.

Hit Trader Joe's™ big time for my monthly fill-up there. A lot of the usual stuff: berries, sprouts, avocados, tomatoes, kefir, canned beans, lemons, chips, walnuts, brewed tea, vitamins, oatmeal, cheese, nectarines, spices, pasta. Far fewer customers than usual, I guess they were all at their villas in the south of France.

Went to a local bakery(Sarcone's™) for some sesame hoagie rolls and pepperoni bread(my brother and SIL love these and they are always so good to me, so a treat for them was in order)

Didn't realize I was out of 10X sugar to make icing(doing cupcakes for a friend who is having family in for the weekend) so I had to peg out to the Acme™(only a block away)

OP, I am rehabbing myself. Today was a good day. Today, I bought NOTHING! Tomorrow I have to go to the supermarket. I am limiting myself to not more than 7 items. Period.

Elta MD SPF 46 sunscreen

Good for you, r79! 💰

THe most dangerous time for me is the late evening before bedtime. I surf various websites and window shop. Clothes toiletries, furniture, small appliances, home decor items, etc.etc.etc.

The Hulu Live DVR is not working. Hulu says it’s a known issue. Check again in 24 hours. Hmph. Not impressed.

A European men's carryall.

I bought a set of concert earplugs (Loop Experience) and a 3rd party case. The earplugs work well for me, but come with a shitty case that's hard to cram the earplugs into and easy to lose, which I did.

Zuccini, nectarines, plums, bell red pepper and eggs.

A fan for my bedroom because it’s still so freakin’ hot.

A prescription at the non-chain drugstore in town.

Mangos, a pineapple, two bags of Valencia oranges, a gallon of rich whole white milk ($2.39) chicken breasts, Queen olives, a two pound bag of pistachios, two bags of Utz slightly salty potato chips, a piece of salmon, a box of baby spinach and one of baby lettuce, a pre-made bacon cheeseburger ($2.59), Italian Wedding soup, lobster bisque, olive oil, cantaloupe, Portuguese farmhouse rolls, silver polish, lawn waste bags, a couple of Noosa yogurts, Hellman’s mayonnaise, scallions, and some stone fruits - plums, pluots, and delicious looking peaches.

I’ll go a farm stand tomorrow for vegetables and ready-made take out. They have good cantaloupes now, too. Then TJ’s because I haven’t been for a while.

A cheescake

1 liter refill of Kiehl’s Crème de Corps, 1 liter of Kiehl’s Amino Acid shampoo, 5 oz of Kiehl’s Ultra oil-free moisturizer.

I was getting my car serviced at the dealership and walked around the showroom and the lit while I was waiting. They re-did my car and the new version is beautiful and of course I wanted one. But I decided not.

I ordered a replacement Pur water filter (the dispenser kind). My old one is starting to fall apart.

R92 those should be replaced every 2-3 months.

The dispenser doesn't need to be replaced every 2-3 months.

[quote] a pre-made bacon cheeseburger ($2.59)

From where?

My lunch

I just bought some groceries. I also returned some stuff to get a refund. I'm trying SO HARD to be good.

You indicated it was the fucking filter, asswind!

Fancy coffee.

Two bananas and a caffeinated vitamin water.

r98 I'm sorry if I was unclear. I did mention DISPENSER but I should've worded it better.

It’s no big deal, r101 except you tried to call me out like I made a stupid error when I didn’t.

3 Vodka Martinis after work. Served up by the hot Brazilian bartender who now thinks I'm his best friend.

I booked a flight to Chicago and a hotel room for my partner and me. Work thing.

A shirt-folder

Four 12oz cans of Coca-Cola, guava nectar, birdseed and dry cat food (for the crows).

I bought lucky bamboo (both curly and straight) and some Bartlett Collins bud vases for them and papilio amyrillis bulbs and a raku pot to grow them in (I have a mantle they're all going on).

I also ordered a french press

What did I buy? I'm 70. I didn't even leave the house today. In fact I spent 4 hours watching sci-fi movies without even getting up from the sofa.

I took a four hours nap today and am binge watching below deck r108. got to chill sometimes!

You were raised right rescue-chick.

A cribbage set.

r108 I'm 70 too -- almost 71. But I bought stuff without leaving the house. Have you heard of this thing called the internet?

Teefs!!

[quote] Have you heard of this thing called the internet?

I have everything I could possibly need, and then some. And frankly I don't like waiting on things to get here. And besides, USPS has lost 3 Amazon shipments to me in the last 6 months. Delivered all 3 to someone else. Luckily they found 2, but the 3rd one was never recovered. I'm old school and I like to handle what I'm going to spend money first.

blue lizard sunscreen, elta md suncreen

Three cases of Hi-5 cannabis infused Black Cherry Soda. To be delivered before noon.

It’s a lot better than Dr Brown’s.

Yesterday I bought a Goo Goo Cluster.

I just masturbated.

Is that what you wanted to know, OP, you dirty bastard!!!

How much did you pay, 118?

Oooh, Goo Goo Cluster! My favorite. Much better than Turtles.

I bought it before you asked, but my portable emergency/outdoors power block is arriving today. I got it to power my CPAP machine and recharge my phone in the event of a power failure.

A new husband.

I took my collapsible wagon up to the grocery store. I was checking out and the checker mentioned she saw me being super patient in the deli with the new worker. The woman in front of me forgot her card in her car and had to go get. I was like, no worries! to the cashier. She gave me all my reusable bags and a pound of bacon I was buying for free because 'so many people are just nasty to us, you've been so nice' 😊

Awesome, Rescue Chick. I try to be patient in stores and when I'm driving. It does pay off, sometimes!

yes r129, I make sure to be extra super nice to retail/service people because there are so many shitty people they put up with. I have never had anyone specifically say they noticed, it was nice! and, bacon!

Nothing, because my house is about to be swept away in a flood.

Not even a boat, r131?

Poise Pads - severe protection

Duplicate keys for the front door.

A crab sandwich on sourdough with a coke.

You had me at vodka, r159!

A pineapple, 2 mangoes (sooo good right now, sorry R157), a bunch of bananas, pluots, peaches, plums and a cantaloupe, all to ripen in the course of the week. Two boxes of greens (spring mix and baby spinach), a red and a yellow pepper, and artichoke hearts in oil. Two bags of California Valencias (also great right now.) Plus a chocolate babka and six apple cider donuts from TJ's because the sour cream donuts are out of stock. I hate it when that happens.

A pint of duPont Techron additive (engine cleaner) for the car.

This coming year's (9/1 to 8/31/24) gym membership. Free, but a $10 "convenience fee" so's not to have to go the office to re-up.

A jug of whole rich white milk. $2.39 a gallon.

Great with Carnation Instant Breakfast.

^^^^ That's quite a low price for milk. How can the cows afford to do it? 🐮

Cheap underwear

BIG linen and oxford cloth shirts to hide my growing gut. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

It is, BAG/R176 and there's something funny about it: it's the store brand with a limit of ten gallons per customer where the eleventh and subsequent gallons cost $4.59 per. Who wants ten gallons of milk at a time? Do bodegas sell milk by the glass? Plus, a half-gallon of the same store brand milk is $2.09.

I know the dairy farms in the Northeast are hurting: people don't drink whole rich white milk like they used to, but it almost seems like they're dumping the milk for less than the cost of producing it.

#WhiteMilkMatters!

r179 I thought there was a minimum price for milk in all states? Perhaps I was misinformed or the regulation has been rescinded. Maybe they ARE simply trying to compete with the plant-based milk companies.

Has that price been steady for awhile? Are the prices for other milk-derived items similarly low? Is 2% milk around the same price, or just the 4% stuff?? How much longer can they sell it so cheaply, unless they are gearing it to be a huge loss leader.

With milk that moderately priced, it may be time to try your hand at home cheesemaking. Try out one of my YouTube "husbands" how-to videos, over at Gavin Webber. Hubba hubba.

Just buy a cow, they are adorable! 🐄 Moo!

Mass market cheap American milk is garbage.

Went out to breakfast with my gang, had a 🧇 and 🥓(both very crisp, just the way I like 'em)

Stocked up on bottled water, gallons and 24 packs. Hopefully won't have to get any more until the weather turns cooler. 🤞

Vicariously bought a few items through a friend I was squiring around after breakfast(he can no longer drive due to rapidly deteriorating vision): chipped steak 🐮 ; veal cutlets; boned, seasoned and tied pork shoulder 🐷; loin lamb chops 🐑(Mmmmmm.......)

I bought a rom man from Albania lunch. He was begging by the station. I said I don't have money, He said I don't want money sirI'm hungry please buy me a kebab. I looked to see if I had cash and I did not. I walked a hundred meters to a kebab place and bought him the lunch kebab lunch plate. I paid. I was standing on the sidewalk and wished him well and he went to sit down and the owner came tearing out really angry at me. He said the guy is a nuisance. The Albanian was quite clean and skinny and not wacked out. I said OK I understand but your counter man sold me the lunch so it's too late. He needs to eat now. The owner was giving me shit. I firmly told him that I understood his issue BUT IT WAS TOO LATE BECAUSE HIS RESTAURANT ALREADY SOLD ME THE LUNCH AND SAW WHO I WAS BUYING IT FOR. I told him to put it in a bag and tell the guy to take it out, but he was a jerk, because the guy wanted the dignity to eat his humble lunch at the humble table and why did he bother opening a restaurant if he didn't understand it was a service industry. Sheesh!

Groceries, including ground chuck to make Hungarian Chili, Triple Chocolate Fudge Cookie ice cream from Haagen-Dazs. Fruits and vegetables, including onions, carrots, mushrooms, blueberries, and Chambersburg (PA) peaches.

Sounds good, R190. What makes the chili Hungarian?

R191,instead of chili powder, I use sweet Hungarian paprika. The vegetables are mushrooms, carrots, and a green pepper. I add a little chicken stock and cook it about 45 minutes. When it’s done cooking, I stir in about a cup of sour cream.

Caftans. Earrings.

A new refrigerator and oven.

Seventeen years old. The refrigerator rattles and the broiler quit on me.

A can of Sprite from a vending machine. I wanted a bottle of water, but it was out of stock. Also, I'm off of caffeine, so no Coke, Diet Coke, etc.

The Sprite was really cold and was actually enjoyable to drink.

A few Le Labo samples and a couple pairs of slutty overpriced underwear at Charliebymz.

R212 what kind of prosciutto? I had a lovely 20yo matured one from Wegmans last weekend. Paired with black truffle cheese and preserves. And of course a decent wine. I wish I lived in Italy!

We're feeding five returning juniors, each of whom has been told to bring a friend tonight. Two are the twin grandsons of one of my college roommates. We are their local contact. None of tonite's plus-ones, hopefully, are vegan. The boys aren't. We've been feeding/housing them intermittently all week as their dorms open. They eat a lot. They'll eat just about anything you put on the table, in fact. Good social skills, too, surprisingly.

I went to the farmers market. Got corn on the cob, salad greens, heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bag of Devocion coffee (divine), red onion, red bell pepper, blackberries, organic eggs, garlic bulb, zuchini blossoms, these amazing chocolate chip cookies, flowers, organic chicken breasts, smoked bacon and peaches.

Making a big black bean and couscous salad and BLTs for Sunday dinner. Also making an heirloom tart for during the week.

R218 I am not one of your FAAANS!

New IPad Pro 6th gen w/ m2 chip, 256k memory. Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil 2nd gen, Magic Mouse, Apple folio, extra c adapter.

Nice haul, R224. I love my iPad. I like the new keyboard (with the number pad). I have an older Apple pencil that cannot hold a charge very long (I even returned / exchanged it - same problem). I don't care for the mouse, I prefer the trackpad (in combination with my Logitech trackball).

Not sure what an Apple folio is. The cords and adapters are way overpriced, but I guess I would buy them if I needed them.

Groceries so I can make some Sesame Noodles.

R225 is the Apple magnetic iPad cover. I’m upgrading my IPad Pro 1st gen to the 6th gen . I have the Apple Pencil 1st gen and find it to be underwhelming too.

On the other hand, the AirPods Pro, I love. They're the ones with the silicone things (they give you 3 sizes) that keep the pods from slipping out of your ears.

Yes, I have the Apple folio, too, for my iPad. Just didn't know it was called that.

Mouse glue traps (little bastards are making their annual appearance), a bread box (see mention about mice - they got into my bread) replacement heads for my electric toothbrush, 30 gallon garbage bags, cashews and a 12-pack of Charmin.

For the PETA folks, I know about catch and release but I ain't doing that in the middle of Brooklyn. I also use snap traps AND an electric zapper trap, but I keep the glue traps around as backup.

Another bean. I just finished the first one.

Two days of no spendjng and I didn't even try.

R229, I condole you on the mice issue. That must be awful, dealing with that.

Wasted $4.01 on the Only Fans of a guy who presents super gay on Reddit, but the only sex he has with other people on his OF includes a woman. Aaargh! Canceled that subscription posthaste.

Here's a new one. I bought some old fashioned Italian made fans, in metal. Put some together then went on holiday. Put two more together last week during the heatwave. One was making noise during oscillation. I wrote saying I'd like to send it back for a replacement. Today I received a new fan. Checked my email and they said chuck the other one, here's a replacement. The fans weren't cheap, either.

I purchased a two-person kayak yesterday.

Gas for my car.

Day three without spending, which is a surprise, but this won't bleed.into tomorrow. Veg only keeps for so long.

R229 wonders why people who have real feelings loathe him so much.

Bacon. Tapioca pudding. Macaroni salad. Tuna salad. Replacement part for my friend's onion chopper.

Two sports jackets.

Dog food

Dishwasher pods, cleaning vinegar, and pine-sol.

Fuckall because I’m poor!!!

Ingredients for a yellow cake

Lamb kofta skewers

Thyme

Scallions

Pancetta lardons

[quote] cleaning vinegar, and pine-sol.

Two staples in my kitchen and laundry.

A parking space: $4 for an hour at the allergist's office.

So in fact it was rented, not bought.

I took two sacks of old clothes to H&M and they gave me a 10 buck voucher. Doing it again the next 3 days and get 40 bucks to spend on new Chinese crap. I don't really need 40 bucks but it's nice to get rid of old clothes and support any little effort at recycling.

R247, you should just stop buying "Chinese crap" from places like H&M. You sound like you can afford to shop elsewhere.

I apologize for sounding preachy about this, but I'm just sick of H&M, Shein, and all the crap they produce.

Replacement shelf pegs

Cable for monitor

Considering getting some groceries later.

What are you? My mother?

R248 you have a point to an extent.

I do buy at local luxury shops in Vienna, Paris, Rome and London. However between Battistoni/Knize (that is to say, traditional tailors who source in their own countries) and H&M it's mostly towards the Asian crap nowadays. Famous brand name "quality" clothes are quite often the same crap. So I buy H&M's crap.

Zara is a bit better, it's not all East and South Asia. So you can buy pieces made in Turkey, Morocco, even Portugal.

Tried to buy a Lindt milk chocolate bar - store only had the white chocolate (Lindt) bar. Maybe I should have tried it.

Got a can of mackerel packed in oil, Late July jalapeño & lime tortilla chips, 12 eggs (for egg salad), bananas (too lazy to buy watermelon or pineapple, which require work), prepared salsa (refrigerated section), macaroni noodles (I'm going to try Kenji Lopez-Alt's method of making mac / cheese), Triscuit crackers, black beans (dried).

Plastic wrap that’s strong to seal in the goodness of our hot daily fudge. You’d be surprised how many brands simply won’t seal in all that fresh goodness! Our trick is to lay a sheet on the floor, go potty, then wrap it up like a croissant. It just freezes better and looks better when served that way. We could go on forever but we feel a fresh batch is on the way!

Sour cream and a celery

"a celery"??

^^^^ They were all out of shrubbery. 😉

Hand truck, window cloths, yoplait yogurt, a Hagen Daz ice cream bar, lg skinny iced latte, toothpaste, windshield wiper blades, ASICS gel nimbus shoes.

Ordered sesame grisini online since none in the grocery stores for months and months.

Ozempic and Lunesta. $24.18.

I get a good night’s sleep and I’m saving a fortune on food.

R259 do you smoke?

Cigarettes? No.

Pole?

Diet Coke (3 12-packs on sale at Target), toilet paper, paper towels, distilled water.

Bags of lye and a shovel

Cheeseburger in paradise.

pistachio green linen suit on sale. I have learned that my coloring has changed at 60 with white hair and I should wear pastels and certain jewel tones, medium grey and navy blue. I'm not going to give up black just yet.

r265 No, Jimmy--you bought the farm.

A bunch of useless, cheap Chinese crap on Temu.

Cellophane bags from DollarTree™. When I make pizzelles(made some this afternoon) I like to seal them in these bags which are the perfect size, not only to store them but also to give away as treats to friends.

Non-chocolate goodies to take to my stitching group on Tuesdays. Made a haul with: Cracker Jack™, Tootsie Pops™, bubble gum, shortbread cookies and caramels.

Peperoni bread from Sarcone's™ Bakery, just off the Italian Market( or simply 9th Street, as we used to call it BITD) Also snagged a slice of their white pizza liberally flavored with rosemary. Damn that stuff is good.

R269, what kinds of things do you stitch (I'm assuming that's embroidery) in your group?

r269 Ah, Bronzie. 9th Street. I bought a pound of Parm from what may have been the most beautiful man I have ever seen in person. He was working in the cheese area of one of the shops. It was my first time there, so I don't know if it was DiBruno's or not. It was on the left side of the street if the river is to your right. It was in the late '90s, and he looked like a smaller, shorter John Travolta, with the same swimming-pool eyes.

Lettuce

Radishes

Baguette

Chives

Farners market: corn, berries, tomatoes, eggplant, beets, radishes, squash. Also biscuits, bread, baby swiss cheese, brie.

40 lb bag of Diamond cat food

r271 Might've been Claudio's, but more than likely DiBruno's: small, cramped, and packed to the rafters with goodies. It was just the one place BITD, now they have a mini-empire with a big presence in Center City.

Did you ever go into that specialty butcher shop that a little bit north of DiBruno's on the opposite side of there street? They sold exotic meats like giraffe, alligator and such. The owner was another gorgeous guy, very 1940's look, very handsome, matinee idol good looks. The shop's not there anymore, I hope that guy is making someone somewhere very happy.

R229, you are garbage. There is no reason to use a glue trap. Get fucked.

Lots and lots and lots of carbs: Rye bread, pumpernickel, bagel chips, cherry/cheese danish, wholewheat Italian bread. I'm going to say I bought some of those things for others. Yes, that is what I'm going to say.

Adult diapers. We like to keep all our fudge then feast at midnight.

Pizza. It's naughty day.

Strawberry-Banana smoothie at McDonalds

Three bars of Kirk's soap, a pineapple, a mango, two boxes of mixed greens, a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, four donuts, a pre-made breakfast sandwich, two pre-cooked breaded chicken breasts, a bag of red potatoes, a bunch of celery, a quart of strawberries, a bag of Valencia oranges, four lamb chops, a piece of salmon, and a box of kosher salt.

Apples, bananas, 2 cucumbers, cole slaw mix, broccoli, American "cheese," salad dressing, edible cookie dough, pickles, liquid egg whites, a gallon of bleach.

A thumb screw for my KitchenAid stand mixer. (1970s vintage, in Harvest Gold, of course.)

Salt Peter

Pins

Crystal Light…. Orange, Concord Grape, Fruit Punch in 2 qt. Packages.

Fancy, R286!

Yes, I’m classy.

Online grocery order. I don't allow substitutions, so it's a gamble.

Nada. I'm in money making mode. Not spending.

But to play along, the last thing I bought was a twenty-four pack of Waterloo Summer Berry Seltzer, from Amazon. Waterloo is just so good, I haven't found anything else that currently comes close.

Shit spray

Some Levi's jeans (new) on eBay. There's a 10% off code, right now. You don't have to punch in the code. It's already punched in at checkout.

Tarte au vin cuit. Cheap mineral water from a spring near Lake Garda.

Three pregnancy tests. I celebrated my birthday last week and I’m still trying to clean up all the jizz from the Brazilian soccer team that celebrated in me!

McDonalds breakfast: coffee with cream, hotcakes, a sausage and cheese biscuit, and a hash brown.

R290, I like Waterloo grape seltzer but can never find it in stores. Thanks for the reminder to order a case online.

80 flavored K-Cup coffee pods on Amazon.

Coffee hard candy, dog food.

A 30-pack of Natural Light and Taco Bell (Burrito Supreme and two tacos). They forgot my mild sauce, which pissed me off a little.

Burrito supreme and cheap beer? Sounds like a recipe for diarrhea.

R299, I always have condiments at home, just in case.

Mosquito bits, glass cleaner, rug shampoo, WD40.

What can one do with mosquito bits?

Soak them in water for half an hour, drain and retain the liquid and use it to water the houseplants. Kills mosquitos, aphids, white flies, fruit flies, etc. all of which are looking to get inside the house starting at this time of year.

[quote] "[R290], I like Waterloo grape seltzer but can never find it in stores. Thanks for the reminder to order a case online"

The grape is AWESOME, R296! It's one of my favorites. Where I am, grocers typically sell three of these Waterloo eight packs for $11. But after some checking, I found that even if the Amazon price DOES go over that, it's negligible, because it's also being delivered directly to the house.

And they have all of the flavors available too (though they do occasionally sell out, which is expected).

This is an odd one.

I watched a documentary, yesterday, about how chocolate is made. Like the methods, how the bean and where it is grown makes a huge difference, fermenting, etc.

What I really learned is I have been eating mediocre chocolate all my life, so I went to multiple places to find decent chocolate. There was one local place in my city that had some good variety, but I’m surprised to say, Whole Foods had, by a mile, the best variety of chocolate. I’m sure overpriced, but it was good.

I spent almost $80 on random dark chocolate.

Grocery store run: Blistex, Carmex, whole organic chicken for soup, organic mixed salad greens, protein shake. Have to go back because the Blistex box was empty.

Marinated pork tenderloins. $4.00 on each, what a deal.

Broccoli crowns. Gotta' have something cabbage-y every day.

Lunch for a friend. It was great to spend some time catching up on what's been happening.

I/2 & 1/2

R307, (re blistex) buy a container of Vaseline then put some in a small container to carry around. Sooooooooooo much cheaper. All about the savings!

Your mom.

Condiments on half price but good until next summer. Heinz Currywurst catsup sauce Heinz mustard with relish Knorr light hollandaise a couple bottles of barbecue sauce and some fat free sauces I have tried that aren't half bad

I also bought a sandwich and drink for a poor Albanian. They are swarming Switzerland at the moment, not sure why. Switzerland isn't going to give them asylum.

Beer, a Circle K pizza, and 2 powerball tickets.

r311 That's a LIE.

Napkins, mustard, salad dressing, coffee creamer, cauliflower, and tomatoes.

A one pound Pullman loaf pan with lid for pain de mie, and a deeply discounted 11 cup Cuisinart processor.

Loaf of bread, dozen eggs, bagged salad, bananas, frozen raspberry pie, a bunch of candy I distribute at my senior center's bingo session.

Three all-cotton heavyweight long-sleeve sailor shirts (horizontal stripes) in green, blue, and black on white for the fall I ordered from China arrived today. Another layer.

Saks has them for $225 per. I'm sure the stitching or whatever is better on theirs, but mine were $12 each. With free shipping.

An off-the-shoulder blouse, a crushy belt, and some ballet slippers to go with the god-awful hostess pants I got for my birthday.

I just gave an old panhandling bum 5 CH (5 bucks). Sheesh he stank.

roundtrip Amtrak tickets from Dallas to San Antonio to see the Annular Solar eclipse next month. Yeah, I know we could drive but the train is much more fun and less stressful.

A new identity.

Cacao tea, cacao nibs, a book.

[quote] roundtrip Amtrak tickets from Dallas to San Antonio to see the Annular Solar eclipse next month. Yeah, I know we could drive but the train is much more fun and less stressful.

R322, are you staying overnight or is it a day trip?

I bought a lot of stuff this week: Viva (soft) paper towels, Charmin Ultra toilet paper, cheddar & feta cheeses, allergy meds (expensive), and Sensodyne toothpaste (lots).

R325. Weekend trip. It’s been years since we have visited san antonio. Looking forward to it. Fingers crossed for clear, non cloudy day to see eclipse.

Some organic ginger root tea from Upton Tea Imports. I only went for the $13 packet instead of the $24 packet.

Stelara. $20 co-pay. Will shoot up later tonight.

Frozen Mac and cheese, another chocolate Babka, a jar of the peach halves and one of the pear halves, lo-salt potato chips, naan bread, frozen raspberries, bananas, avocados, bleu cheese, the little chocolate covered ice cream ball things, and a cheesecake at Trader Joe’s. My husband was with me, otherwise I’d just buy bananas.

I ordered dill weed and sweet Hungarian paprika from Penzey's, and bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's Bossin' Cream Pie. They did a version of it 15 years ago or so which I liked more.

Kleenex

Austrian Reiss enamel ware. Can't be fucked for the endless thrifting to possible find a couple pieces. I'd like a vintage enamelware camping service, though. Not sure I trust the current Chinese production. They love enamel ware and I think it might have been better 25 years ago before the mass export era.

Today from Amazon is a zippered bag to hold tubes of wrapping paper.

Yesterday was toilet paper (although with my new membership it's Costco next time!).

Wednesday = A couple "new baby" cards, boxed Christmas cards, and a special "pop-up" Christmas card with music and lights for my legally-blind aunt.

Not so much "buy" as exchange: $500 out of my checking account in return for five crisp $100 bills.

And $4.99 for a card to put it in for a wedding gift tomorrow.

A set of 3-lb. hand weights

This week- gummy B12s, four t-shirts to replace one that developed holes, a necklace for my sister purchased off ebay that is identical to one she broke and cheaper than fixing it, , a blood pressure monitor.

Not today, but, from Whole Foods: fusilli pasta and a really good pineapple. I want to get 2 more pineapples, soon.

A new dinnerware set. I can't stand this cheap set I bought that is made of something called "wheat straw". When the bowls are stacked during/after washing, some kind of suction thing happens and it's a struggle to pry them apart. I hate heavy stoneware and Corelle is kind of pricy Going for melamine.

Valentino Uomo Yellow Dream Cologne

Pair of Nonnative Pants (they are made in Japan, and very expensive. I got them for 75% off.

Shredded cheese, parmesan cheese, tomatoes,milk, and green tea.
