Thanks Griff.

so beest bought the beer, but I did order the teamwear.

I was naughty.
I've pretended being in my brother's house today is like being on holiday.
I have a cheese & spring onion mix baguette (which comes with a free KitKat) in his fridge.
And a four pack of Stella.

Once his sofa has arrived I am going food shopping (and bill paying) and buying a white bra and a white top for my birthday. I've already earmarked the top - in a closing down sale - I hope they've not sold out! And my two existing white bras are too big and too small respectively. In fact if the particular top I want is sold out in the sale I will wear the one I have already, albeit with a new bra. I haven't been able to wear it for months so I guess it counts as new and saves me £4.00.

I want to get Diz some decent catfood as well. His fallback has recently been Whiskas and I really dislike all the additives. Am going back to Applaws:

but will kitty eat it?

Oh aye - he loves the Applaws.
And yet sometimes he turns his nose up at fresh chicken.

Meh, this is the same cat brain that thinks it is a good idea to wake me up at 04.20 to shove his paws under my chin. And when I protest, to put a claws out paw on my forehead.

Hello? Can we say kicked out of bed?
He'll try it again before the end of the week though.

a pizza and breadsticks....sigh...I should not be eating pizza. :yeldead:

hmmm . . . pizza!

yesterday I went grocery shopping. I bought approx 40 1lb boxes of pasta, 6 dozen cans of diet coke, 60 beers and a few other things.

40 pounds of pasta? wowee!

Monster, you take stocking up to a whole new level. I'm impressed.

Gas for my truck. $2.39 per gallon.

I have three swimmers, favorite food pasta -lots of it and twice a day, if they had their druthers.. I always shop this way. That's about two month's supply, hopefully by the time it starts to run low, there will be as good a sale again (50c/box). I just shoved 6 boxes of every type we like into my cart. I speed shop too. I was in and out of each of the two stores I went to in 25 minutes.

Today I bought raspberries, hash browns in the grocery store
buckets, stickers, dustpan and brush and wrapping paper in the dollar store
magnets, iron on letters and water bombs in the craft store
shorts, cereal, tupperware, a toy, detergent, softener, cookertop scrubbers, oil, rice, t-shirt, clocks, batteries, paper, envelopes and proab;y something else in walmart
lego and bike lights in toysRus

...and i guess if I don't hit the basement soon, I could "buy the big one"! ;) :lol:

ouch! lots of money! and . . .

water bombs?

splash ball things for the pool

not lots of money really -I shop smart. And in big gluts. I probably won't grocery shop again for two weeks aside from milk, veg and bread.

...and the water bombs were the only thing that wasn't on my list $1for2

You bought cigarettes?

Just bought a replacement battery for my laptop (the original lasted just over 3 years, so I guess I can't really complain.) I was really ticked off at the manufacturer price of $155, but found a compatible one on Amazon for $35, that still comes with a 1-year warranty, so I could buy a new one every year and still come out ahead.

Not today, but yesterday, I bought a new Nalgene bottle to start replacing the ones my company threw out. I also bought some groceries: Carrots, 2 packages of Thomas 100 calorie high fiber muffins, Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage links, Childress White Wine (Trio - its a blend of three whites), pie crust, fish oil, and Cheezit 100 cal packs (cause I had the munchies and figured these were better than buying the whole box).

Later today will be: Light dressing, Provolone cheese (another victim of the fridge clean out), Family size Chicken breast, onion, celery and cucumber. And I will need gas.....again.

The next meat I buy will NOT be chicken. I have enough in my fridge to last a few months. Going to need some red meat soon.

Time for a steak on the grill bbro!

Going to costco to get
garbage bags
cat litter
granola bars
LF cheese
prescription drug for husband
diabeeeetus testing strip
cherries (if they still have them! :yum:)

Then trader joe's for
steaks
coffee
mini ww pitas
chix sausages
silken tofu (trying it for dressings, can't stand ff mayo!)
whatever veggies look good

I just sprung for a revolting beef macaroni in a tin that goes in the microwave thing at the pool because Hebe didn't take enough snacks (I think she swam harder than anticipated at the practice meet this morning) and is coaching there until 1. It was that or bike back over with snack an interupt her class -head coach is scary, so I went for the path of least resistance :lol:

May buy goggles and a large roll of paper this afternoon. And possible even some UnderArmor And perhaps it's time to finally place that Amazon UK order

I have heard that Trader Joes is great store, but I have never been in one.

I read this as revolving. I'm like "woohooo, that is some seriously FUN beef macaroni." :lol:

Quite possibly. Although the only time I have ever done that "the guy" took over and made them into rubber. Maybe it is time to try again since we aren't friends anymore.....BJ's warehouse - here I come!

Somebody had to do it.

That's why I put the "warehouse" part in there. :P

goggles -check
paper roll -check
few other bits and pieces of stuff from The Scrap Box -check
underarmor -X
new hockey bag that wasn't on the list -check
used hockey goalie pads for $10 that weren't on the list but srsly -$10?!! -check

going to the pool before I can do any more spending damage.

How bored are we when we are reading each others grocery lists?

and no dildos anywhere - what's happening to you people?

I may have to find another board...

four sets of headphones on woot.com, and one 6" subway turkey and ham.
not very exciting, I know, but I'm coin-flipping on whether or not to splurge on a newly-discounted kindle, nook, or sony touch e-reader.

Paint, brushes, rollers, etc. to paint one of the rooms in the house tomorrow morning after we pick up our keys

you don't find my $10 goalie pads exciting? Hector is sat across from me right now, watching Thor play computer, in a bike helmet, roller blades, and the $10 ice hockey goalie pads. Which really need cleaning.

We just bought some braces for Mav's teeth.

We'll all be eating mashed potato for the next 6 months after paying the bill!

More gas.

Iced tea, xlg, one each, to go.

I got a room at the Marriot Orlando Airport Hotel for $50! I named my price at Priceline and got it. You could have knocked me over with a feather.

My MIL is always going there. The food is cheap and inexpensive. A lot of short dated product, eg aseptic packs of soymilk that have a shelf life of 4 years with a couple of months left on them. Rancid tortilla chips. great stuff, not.

She brought a bag of TJ's wild rice and it smelled like tree bark, was pale brown, broken and dusty, I put it next to the wild rice from the coop which was dark, nearly black, very shiny, unbroken and smelled like wild rice.

You get what you pay for at Trader Joes.

I read it and had instant heartburn. The old stomach can't take what it use to.

Like a primitive ritual, I danced around inside the arcade shop. And finally spent 'my precious' bucks on some PC game DVD, yet again!:nuts:
Damn me!

Bought some gas and will be buying some alcoholic beverages later.

i stopped at Andy's produce stand and bought 2 big red tomatoes. I just had a tomato swammich. wish i'd brought an avocado.

I tried to buy those Amazon UK books, but found my UK credit card expired last month, so now I have to hunt down the new one.

Bizarre. I've never gotten anything off/rancid from them; they are my suppliers of choice for coffee, meats, fish and grains. Their cheese section is tremendous and my husband won't eat any other cereal than theirs.

Very strange!

Maybe it's what my MIL buys, but seriously, everything I've tried from them is junk.

Log in to Amazon.uk with your US amazon account info, they'll bill the card that's active.

I buy from amazon.de all the time.

Pack of cat treats and a smoothie - both on sale. Last of the big spenders - that's me.

dinner at Red Robin

Coupla tee shirts for friends, some pins that were on clearance from Northern Sun. Despise their politics, love some of their shirts.

We bought an end table and a set of Paula Deen copper bottom stainless steel cookware w/ glass lids. Don't care for her but the pans are the nicest we've ever had.

No, I want to use my UK card -it's linked to my UK bank account so no foreign use conversion charges and it's a way to get at the funds in my UK bank account -again avoiding charges.

BTW you don't need to login through the US site to use US cards as long as they are Visa/mastercard etc.

I stopped at Andy's (honor system garden stand) yesterday and bought 4 huge tomatoes, $1 ea.
Went to the farmers market today and they had huge tomatoes for $4.99lb. The old lady in front of me with 2 almost shit herself when they said her total was $8.50. Then they explained how rare and precious they were at this time of year... she still put one back. If she hadn't butted in front of me in the first place I would have told her to go to Andy's.

I bought rosemary lemon chevre, eggs, and a dozen corns.

did you go to the new farm market yet?

Ya that's what I just said. That's where I bought that stuff.

oh.,..duh.

lol.

(12) 2x8x10' treated boards
cell phone
cement mixer

3 "water cones" (pool toy), a clock and a pack of scotch tape from the dollar store. A noseclip from the sports store, plus I paid for the team cap order but that's not my money.

Pair of 6 ga Bloodwood hoka design earbobs with copper inlays. Pic belongs to Body Art Forms (dot com)

So what's an earbob/how do you wear those?

an earring, and you wear them in your ears. Didn't you ever read Little Women?
