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.

Today:
Hair clips for my daughters advent bag £1
Sweets £2.50
Lunch: £7

Was that the blanking plate ?

OH is now worried as I said it's paintable 😅

I admit to reading your opening post and commenting, boldly ignoring all that's gone before. Ach well, at least I'm not alone in the bought/brought concern. 😬

Desperate?
Sure. 🫣

Yes, desperate.

When umpteen other people have already told her, yet the next person simply CANNOT sit by and allow an error to occur and MUST tell the OP personally immediately how wrong they are.

Some people just read the OP and then reply. Some don't realise it has fifty replies already or on to page four.

The first is just daft when there's a 'read all' for OP's posts at least. Basic manners to read OP's posts at least.

The second must be pure stupidity. How can you not realise how many pages there are?

You don't have to wang on about the error, even if you get in first. I noticed it, but didn't feel the need to mention it because, you know, I understood the meaning.

Did you miss my other post?
🫣

Guilty as charged. 😬

Two bras, magnesium tablets, chocolate filled banana sweets for my neighbour and dog food.

@Restinpeacefavouritecoathanger haha. I've just realised I made a typo in my pedantic sentence. So I'm much much worse!
My spelling isn't great either, so I shouldn't really say anything 😀 x

Today:-

in Lidl, their chocolate Bahlsen biscuit/chocolate biscuits, cottage cheese with chives and without chives, 1 grapefruit, large pack of nature valley bars, huge fake muller rice (6 pack). The muller are nicer… so are the real Bahlsen biscuits but cottage cheese, grapefruit and salsa (not bought today) are good.
Sainsbury’s cracker crisps and large pop chips with sea salt and vinegar, fishcakes
tescos felix tasty shred meat cat food, 2 Lindt hazelnut bars and 2 Lindt salted caramel bars.

This week I’ve also spent on sales clothes and shoes but it is my birthday tomorrow so… why not?

Some fancy soap, an overpriced cake, tea, and two Nutella waffles. All in about £30

Some really expensive varifocal glasses plus eye test, new potato peeler and some sticky hooks.

Coffee, hot chocolate, 2 books and a pack of Pokemon cards.

Not all of those were for me!

Round here, £6 on a chippy tea would get 1 chip & a couple of mushy peas!

I’ve spent £2.95 on a Waitrose pre made Greek sale & £1.80 on flatbreads

I spent £8 on soft play. £10 in their cafe. £59 at Waitrose- not a big shop, but
included sushi for lunch. £40 at the butcher for steaks. £6 at m&s for chips and a soft drink for this evening.

not unusual, but reading it back reminds me that even though my weekends aren’t as exciting as they used to be, they aren’t exactly cheap!

A new router for £119 and the internet is still playing up. Looks like it might be the phone line even though the phone company said it was fine when they tested it…

@MaxEye
We got two lunch deals just as it was swapping to tea time
One pea fritter small chips
Fish bite and chips
£4.40
Rest was a can of pop.

What’s an advent bag?

I spent £2 on nail clippers since my old ones completely fell apart last night!

Toaster & Kettle - £50
Microwave - £35
Tommee Prep Machine - £25
Insurance for the above - £11
Snacks/Treat for kids - £7
Candle holder - £4
Essential oil - £5
Mini food shop - £30

It was a expensive day.
Usually our Sundays are no spend days

@Pumpkittenspice
It's just a fill yourself advent calendar but instead of wooden drawers or something there are 24 little bags

In one charity shop I bought a double glass photo frame for a fiver, it was brand new and boxed and matches another that I have. I also bought a Crew clothing polo shirt BNWT in the same shop for a quid. In another charity shop I bought three DVD’s for a quid, 2 horror films and a brand new sealed comedy. I have been after one of the horror films for ages, it’s old and hard to get hold of. Also bought a sausage roll to eat round town. A few bits of veg and some cheese, was £9 and a lightweight blanket for the beach in the sale at Aldi reduced from £6.99 to £2.99.
