San Maeto Pet Supply Redwood City
Got Wall-E this little coat made out of Sham-Wow material; you soak it in water and then make the dog wear it and it keeps him cool in hot weather. So cool!

Pet Food Express
Got Wall-E a doggie life jacket so I can take him swimming. It has a handle on top "for easy rescue by hand or boat hook" lol. Sounds like a fun alternative to fishing :-)

Palo Alto Goodwill
So many good baskets and vases for so cheap! Menlo Park Goodwill is the place for clothes, Palo Alto Goodwill is the place for furniture and other home accessories.

Trader Joe's
The green curry frozen meal was disappointing, I had such high expectations :-(
· $14.72 credit card purchase
Palo Alto Cafe
Ahhhh wtf is Palo Alto Cafe??? I keep buying stuff there.

Palo Alto Cafe
I have no idea what restaurant this is supposed to be. There is a restaurant called Palo Alto Cafe, but I have never been there. But, whatever restaurant this is, I think I have a couple of receipts from there, so it must be good.

A Plus Bags
aka Ultimate Pizza Bag. Worst customer service ever. Got two heating elements for the business, and they took forever to send them, acted annoyed when I called to see if they had been sent, only sent one but charged me for two, acted really nonchalant when I informed them of the mistake even though it is really inconveniencing our business, and haven't even answered my email asking if they could rush ship the second heating element.

Goodwill
Menlo Park Goodwill again. I got a Burberry trenchcoat, Gucci sunglasses, and a French Connection skirt.

MissBargainHuntress No way. I need to go there. Looks a bit pricey, though? I know that's quality stuff, but... Is this one of their boutiques?
jacq this goodwill is outta control. so many designer goods.

Crepevine
Sooo good. The pasta is pretty cheap for how good it is, I got fettuccine alfredo with salmon and it was ~$10. Of course, then I had to get a dessert crepe, which was $6. I got the Santorini, which has nuts and brown sugar and coconut and mascarpone, and it was good. But I think the winner was my friend's, which was the Stanford, with Nutella, strawberries and bananas.

McDonald's
Their frappes are a little overly sweet, but pretty good.

Nola
I wish Nola's had dancing. But...no cover charge!
· $5.09 credit card purchase
Fry's Electronics
Had to get a keyboard because my laptop keyboard and mouse are broken. The $20 I spent on the keyboard is wayyyy less than the $350 I would probably have to spend at the Apple store to fix the computer. But, it is pretty sad looking to have to whip out my laptop AND all its accessories every time I want to use it and eventually I will have to fix it.
· $19.64 credit card purchase
Starbucks
Those new Via iced coffee packets are so great! Comes out to about $1 per cup, and if you buy two packages you also get any drink from the Starbucks menu for free! I got a grande caramel mocha frappuccino with whipped cream and caramel and chocolate on top...yummy.
· $9.90 credit card purchase
Stubhub
Got to see Brett Favre and Toby Gerhart play for $15 each. Pretty fun, too bad Favre was only in for 3 snaps, which of course made the bf sad because Favre is his favorite ever.

Tip: There was $30 event parking that was actually a walk from the stadium...ridiculous! If you just walk ~5 more minutes, you can park for free on the street. Take Beatty Rd to Tunnel Rd and park on Tunnel.

Wahoos Fish Taco
Doesn't the Wahoo's in Southern California have crispy fried fish instead of grilled? I still like this one, but I wish they had the nice unhealthy fried option.
· $10.70 credit card purchase
MissBargainHuntress ooooh, I miss Wahoo's.....
