I used to buy lots of fun stuff. Now I buy diapers. Not for me personally, but for someone else. I am still a good consumer.

Fancy Mexican probably more moronic than oxymoronic. I had a flatbread with corn and truffles. Also ate some tres leches french toast and guacamole. Other than the corn and guacamole it wasn't very Mexican.

girlfriday This is the first time I've heard truffles and Mexican in the same sentence ...

There's No Place Like Space: Al about Our Solar System; Format: Hardcover
Great price on Dr. Seuss from Walmart with free shipping.
· $5 from Walmart
amyuhrich Gotta love the solar system. Do you find the book...accurate?
thriftyrocker I fully intend to tell my son the truth that Pluto is a planet and that everyone else is lying to him. I don't have the book yet but if it doesn't have Pluto in it, I'm going to make an extra page and scotch tape it in there. It was published in 1999, so I'm expecting it to be wishy washy and noncommittal.
amyuhrich Awesome :)
beverlynoelle Ahaha, you should've bought tape and construction paper at the same time as you placed this order :D

Four huge boxes for $6.43 after Subscribe and Save and coupon if you like sugary raisins.

gkruis That cereal is the best.
fnoo It's nearly always stale when I buy it. I'm not sure if it's endemic or just my particular luck.
thriftyrocker The ones I got from Amazon expire in Feb 2012 and taste fine.
USPS
The PO used to let you buy 1 stamp in their self serve machine. Evidently now you have to buy 3. So I bought a whole book (15) instead. And I'm not going to use them til 2020 when sending a letter costs about a thousand dollars just to mess with them.

Buying gas in PA (where I live) is about 20 cents more per gallon than in NJ (where I work) so my life is a constant struggle of trying to have enough gas to make it back to work on Monday. This time, I failed.

Imagine going to any other type of restaurant and paying $12 for a dish where the main ingredient is peas. PEAS!!!!!!!!!

Shoprite
I go to the grocery for lunch and buy yogurt and bananas. I should probably just bring groceries into work and save the trip during lunch. This is cause for serious introspection.

amyuhrich These are important questions we must ask ourselves.
Costco

Fit It! App
Meh puzzle game, more like an IQ test than a game.
Domain Name Renewal 1 Year (recuring)
Screw godaddy and their automated renewal. My scorn for Danica Patrick grows.
· $11.62 from GoDaddy
amyuhrich You know you can turn that off, right? If you can locate the setting in their unholy matrix of a user platform, that is. I have all my renewals set to manual.
thriftyrocker Danica!!!!!!

(Yeah I had it turned off on all my other ones.)
amyuhrich Gotta love having to keep track of all your domains/hosting accounts/whatever. It's so difficult to navigate with them. It's like a virtual hedge maze.
Words With Pirates App
Most essential iPhone game ever. Unfortunately it's seasonal like the Shamrock shake and no longer works.
Heads Will Roll — Addictive Falldown Action! App
Nice game. Tilt to let the ball fall down floors. Get more balls for more points.

Gameplay is terrible - stare at the screen for 2 minutes while your serf is bouncing around - but I played it til I completed the whole damn thing.
Amazon
This costume is way too small for a 2 year old.
