It was a big shopping day. I spent $188.

I bought a 21lb turkey and some fancy side dishes for Thanksgiving Day. I also bought 3 cans of Christmas cookies and a jar of Chocolates of the World.

Here are a few items that didn’t make it to my blog last month (October 2014 purchases)

I recently lost 1 inch on my waist, from 31 inches to 30. So, I bought 2 Costco belts (1 black, 1 brown) to celebrate my new look. They were about $18 each. They are good quality belts, much better than stupid Calvin Klein bents I bought 5 years ago.

Security night was something I needed. I still need to install them. They have mixed reviews. I hope mine will work fine. It was super cheap after a $10 instant rebate. ($39 ?).

I like this turkey jerky.

Nothing exciting… I am still doing pretty good saving money.

I bought a pair of sweatpants for the Winter.. ($19.99)

I always keep 9V batteries at home. I need 9V batteries once in a while. When I do, I need them desperately. I have a bunch of rechargeable batteries (AA, AAA, & 9v), but there are places for regular alkaline batteries.

Lamb shanks are my weekend treat. They better be good. .

I’ve been doing good refraining myself from buying expensive toys. I think I have everything I want. I live below my means. I would like a convertible. But I’m in no hurry about that.

P.S. I didn’t like the lamb shank. To me, there was no taste, and the meat was not tender. I guess some people might like it. And, I bought a convertible 5 years after this blog post.

Q-Tips will last me about 5 years.

Speaking of Q-Tips. I buy Q-Tips for only one reason, to clean my ear canals. But, on the package, Q-Tips warn us not to clean the ear canal. I guess there are a lot of lawsuits because of stupid people hurting themselves.

Beef jerky was for the guys at the mail annex (mail guys at my work). I’ve been doing a lot of online shopping lately. Some of them are adult-related products… So, I thought I would bribe them just in case.

Nothing special today.

I am enjoying them peanuts. It’s a good batch.
