good grief, don't you people ever put money in your savings? (aka recent purchases)

surprisingly tasty whey protein powder

(after some very good progress reports at parent teacher conferences)
What, why not purchase used books?

The prices at those school book fairs are often cheap enough that you can't do as well used (if they are the same kinds of book fairs they have at my nephew's schools.)

Yay to your kids for wanting books as treats, joyrae

I ordered my sister's birthday flowers.

ouch

I stopped at Century 21 this week and bought two black Lejaby bras for $10 each and a Hanky Panky lace tee in wine for $5 from the lingerie clearance section. I also bought Cosabella Airlace bikini panties in celeste, Hanky Panky lace boyshorts in army green (one of my favorite undie styles) and three pairs of Converse Chucks socks in crazy colors.

I ordered four pairs of Hanky Panky panties from 6pm.com.

I ordered two J.Crew cashmere cable sweaters in indigo and dahlia. I hope they fit and I like them because they're final sale and still priced at well over $100.

I'm also waiting for some Fiesta canisters I ordered from Kohls a few days ago. They're really slow to ship.

And I spent >$100 on healthy groceries from Shoprite. I'm making a big pot of vegetable soup today. I'm officially eating healthy again.

Added: which mod is the delicate flower who thinks a lacey tee is "inappropriate"? @@

I'm soon gonna have a new bass case in my face. I need to protect my investment and the sweet finish on it, though I don't plan to pay full price for it.

Bass case.

Same here. Gypsy kitty has gotten really skinny. She's always been very thin, but she's a walking skeleton in her old age. I keep buying different cat foods and treats in an attempt to get her to eat more. I've gone through so many different foods. She used to love Fancy Feast canned flaked shrimp and fish, but now she just picks at it. She liked Tiki Cat canned food for a while, won't touch it any more. She liked hamburger and deli turkey for a short time, but no more. She tried a couple containers of Fancy Feast appetizers and a can of Iams kitten food this week. She ate all of them enthusiastically, but I'm afraid to buy more than a few cans at a time since she will likely decide one day that she hates it and won't eat another bite. @@

Dry food is s problem, too. Gypsy won't eat Iams. She picks at Science Diet. Evo gives her gas and loose stools. None of my cats will eat Natural Balance. (The main ingredient is green peas, so I'm not really surprised that cats don't like it.) I just started feeding them Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach Formula. All three cats love it so far, but it gives them loose stools.

Try FreshPet. It is a fresh pet food sold in a cold box at your local grocery store. It really made a difference for our geriatric cat and dog before they passed away last year. They really enjoyed eating it and had so much more energy, improved coats, etc. I'm really glad we found it as it truly seemed to make the last 6-8 months of their lives a lot better. I can't recommend this pet food enough! All natural.

Emmy the Cat eat Purina Indoor Formula Dry and Elly the Cat eats Meow Mix (beef and chicken - when you live in one room, it is best not to feed stinky fish cat food). Elly will snack on the dry but Emmy will never touch the wet.

bought a ticket for hubby to see Puscifer in Louisville.
He will go with his boys I am working late that night so I cannot go :\

mewhojen said:   surprisingly tasty whey protein powderFuzzy Navel let me know if you like yours. I mix mine with my iced coffee in the morning um, did you miss the surprisingly tasty bit

although, a splash of cream would make it rather like a creamsicle... hmmm <dashes off to the kitchen>

Went to Sams and got vitamins, lettuce, celery, a coupla blocks of cheese, and a case of paper for the office. Went to Academy and the BF got some new Nike something or others. Hopefully that will help with his achy back. He keeps going back to his old shoes, and they are totally sprung He has a coupla cases coming up that I know are going to take several hours, so I'm glad he finally got some new shoes.

Oh, and I got a couple of dry-faster shirts for the gym. And a coupla oversized fleece shirts to slip on over a wetsuit when we dive. Academy has 5-% off the winter stuff right now.

Just filled up in PA, $3.65/gallon Friday night in NY it was $3.93/gal. Filled up north of Scranton, PA last night on the way home, think it was $3.67/gal. Had to take little_patsfan back to Boston this morning, fill up was $3.57/gal.

Hit Gander Mtn in Scranton on Saturday while the kids were skiing/snowboarding. Bought 3 lures that just came out, all in yellow perch color, and a bag of plastic worms each for son & myself, all on sale.

Bought package of Hanes, discontinued Sony earbuds, pajama pants, and flannel sheets all on sale at Boscov's yesterday.

3 packages of oval split rings at Bass Pro Shops on the way home from Boston today.

I used a couple gift cards from Christmas to shop online Presidents' Day sales:

Lands' End: I ordered Lands' End sweatpants that have been in my shopping cart for a long time and a Lands' End Canvas cotton sweater from the new arrivals. Even at 25% off, I paid too much for the sweater, but it won't go on clearance for quite a while, and I want it now. My favorite sheets are on clearance in a color I want and I almost added them to my order. My bedding storage space is very limited so I decided to pass. If they're marked down further, I may rethink my storage as I only have two sets of sheets and I could use another set. Isn't three sets per bed the recommended number of sheets?

Williams Sonoma: I ordered several items with free shipping plus additional 20% off sale items. They were all "hidden" sale items. The sale prices only came up when I selected the items from the additional purchase suggestions that came up in my shopping bag. When I went to the same items on the shopping pages, they were still full price. Weird. Anyway, I got some amazing deals.

I make my own.

I went back to Century 21 last night to look for more Lejaby bras. They had lots of size 30, but no 36s left. To console myself, I bought a few pairs of Cosabella panties and a camisole.

Congrats on the new car, MVP! But you didn't answer the most important question .... what color?

(I need to buy cat food today. Got a nice deal on the Nutro dry but need to restock the wet food my geriatric kitty gets as a treat.)

mewhojen, those are dang cute shoes.
