What have you bought lately?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Groceries, gas and toilet paper. Nothing exciting I know.

650 miles - if my parents decide to go, we'll drive which will be about 11 hours. Otherwise, it's about a two hour flight, I think.

Ugh. According to Google, I'm 1,259 miles from Dallas.

I like shopping online...a little too much sometimes. ;) You can get some good deals online, though, without the hassle of having to go to the store. I found two nice sweaters on good sales, which made me happy. I'm always cold, so I love sweaters! As long as you're shopping at a store with a good return policy, online shopping is good. :yes:
Maybe I'm just too paranoid, but I keep thinking that the things online would end up arriving looking completely different than in the catalog... ;) Is that the case?
I haven't had much of a problem. Ricki's actually has a good website where you can get a good look at the items, and returns are easy. I ordered a few things where they didn't fit right, and another item that I really liked but after washing it, it no longer fit the way that I wanted it to, and they took it back in the store with no hassle at all. I ordered from another site once where the colour of the item was totally different than what they showed online, so either the picture was way off or they sent me the wrong colour. Either way, it was very ugly ;) but again, I easily returned it for a full refund, so it wasn't a big deal. I've only ordered from places that have stores that I go to sometimes and have an idea of what size I fit and where I can make returns to the store instead of having to mail stuff. For anybody wondering why I don't just go to the store, my computer is significantly closer to me than the stores, the deals are sometimes better, and the selection is often better. I still buy stuff in store, but sometimes online is better for me.

Tomorrow I will buy a nice, full tank of gas. \:D/ Oh, joy. ;)

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven.

Wow the last thing I bought...

Probably if its with my own money, it would have to be Orange Juice and the YMCA.

In response to the poll question without a doubt I would take the $25,000 because I have college in 2 years.

I bought a hot chocolate on Saturday to warm me up while we were waiting for customers at market. \:D/ I only bought it because I had a gift card though. :- There's still a balance on it, so I can get a couple more drinks in the weeks coming up. \:D/

I clicked your link out of curiosity, and was amused to notice that the "Customers who bought these items also purchased..." section contained the other items that you said you bought. Congratulations! You are providing inspiration to other shoppers! \:D/

I bought some books from CBD online yesterday. Some are to share and some are to keep. :- Today I bought a delicious sandwich and an even more delicious croissant donut (as in, there is wonderful glaze on the croissant) for lunch. Yummy!

Is that the special collector's edition behind-the-scenes book? Because I have that book. It's pretty cool.

If it is the one in the photo below, then yes! Thanks for the review, although I will probably end up giving it away to one of my sisters. ;)
