What have you brought today?

[Restinpeacefavouritecoathanger]

I love people watching when sat in coffee shops when out shopping and would love to stop people and ask what they've brought today and what's in their carrier bags. Unfortunately, people probably wouldn't take kindly to it.

So I am going to ask MN what have you brought today?

I haven't brought anything today - rare for me to be honest to manage a complete no spend day.

Yesterday I spent:

• £8 on a coffee and cake with my friend and daughter.
• £6 on a chippy tea.

A TV license, some medication, a Nintendo switch online game for DS3 and three peppers for a recipe.

Poetry blue embroidered cotton maxi dress NWT in local charity shop for £9.25.

Saltbeef 🥯 and some reduced salads on sainsburys for a fiver.

Can’t believe how thrifty I look here. Delightful.

Bought some random items from the supermarket - chia seeds, some snack a jacks and a loaf of bread.

Filled up my car and then took my DD to the local shopping centre to buy new clothes as starting college next week.

She got 2 pairs of joggers, a pair of wide leg trousers, a sweatshirt and a North Face hoodie plus a few toiletries (which she paid for herself).

And we stopped for a drink (iced latte and a lemonade) and shared a muffin for sustenance 😆

So too much but hopefully won’t need to shop again for a while……

I have a Fabulosa rose scented fabric freshener and I love it! I’ll be at B&M this week now for sure 😁

Does Amazon count ?

Got a screwless paintable blanking plate to cover where the thermostat was as ' bought,' a Hive in the week

Dead chuffed so far with it

You going to go for the latecomers, too?

Twelve Welsh cakes and some lunch for myself, DH and a friend.

B&M - £7 (a card, sketch pad, washing up liquid and white vinegar)
Boots - £31 (nappy rash cream and Optibac probiotics)
Butcher - £25 (meat for the next three weeks)
Online - £50 on frenchic paint

Oh, untwist your knickers. I’m not ‘going’ for anyone.

A carton of double cream to go with the rhubarb and apple crumble I made this morning.

£120 weekly Sainsbo shop, & I still need to go to Tesco for missing things !

And some No7 creams from Amazon 'cos they're cheaper than Boots.

I bought a last minute holiday for next week.

And a veggie lasagne and chips after my walk.

I’m curious, since you made the same typo over and over again, do you also say “brought” out loud? It seems to be such a common mistake on here

Today, 2X packs of pitta bread

yesterday, 2X coffees and 1 croissant to share, a courgette and a deer’s antler (the last one for the dog!)

Well was just £5 in the nature reserve cafe- ice lolly, drink and cake. We have annual passes for entry.
However partner is literally right now buying one of those folding mats for DD to roll around on- to save us putting the sofa cushions on the floor constantly!
£30 total

First of the month so a couple of standing orders.
Online: Cheap reusable cutlery set with steel straws for a picnic (I dislike wooden cutlery and plastic is a no-no), a shoe rack and a cupboard for under the hand basin in the cloakroom. €135 total.
In person: €4 for two (!) balls of ice cream. Coconut and pistachio, delish.

😄

Technically The Sunday post (£2.70) but i pay for my newspaper bill weekly so haven't handed over any cash today.

Nothing so far but British Airways sale has started so I’m likely to buy a holiday (deposit only) by the end of the day.

More uni stuff for dd.

A carton of double cream to go with the rhubarb and apple crumble I made this morning

I want some of that.

£125 on some fancy brogues from Embassy of London. I've been looking fir some new flat shoes for work for a while. I ordered some from Clarks for half the price and they were really wide (I only have skinny ankles and narrow feet). I've got a garden furniture cover in my basket at Amazon but haven't decided to check out yet

Yesterday £50 on a blender to make Mudslides and £40 in Asda mainly ingredients to make said Mudslides ,

Today
2 Dressing gowns and a lounge set came to £83, that's my first Christmas presents bought 👏🏻👏🏻

Still not made Mudslide's 🤣

Holiday deposit - £1k
Nike Superep £80 - old pair elastic snapped at 6am 🤬
Vinted £30 but nearly £20 was credit from stuff I have sold.
DS school stuff delivered from next so paid it off at £160

It's been an expensive day and we haven't even left the house

Don't apologise and you're not being pedantic. You are stating a fact. Standards should be maintained.

I have bought some mouth guard cleaning tablets today - £8.
