What did you buy today? - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

2+2 · 11-14-2009, 05:15 PM

Since the "new normal" blows chunks and xmas is coming (but luckily so is black friday). And since I just torched a gorgeous slab of ribs I've been slow cooking for a couple of hours in the oven by putting it on my pos outdoor grill...

I've had this for about a year and it's really surprised me. It's a good grill, much better than the George Foreman. Sanyo indoor grill It really is just about smokeless. It's potent enough to leave grill marks on a steak and it slow cooks real good too. Clean up is pretty easy. Bed, bath and beyond is where I got mine - gave me a chance to use one of those coupons they keep sending me. Good xmas gift imho. If it wasn't upper 60s here in Michigan today I would have used this grill to finish off my ribs and I'd be chowing down right now instead of drinking beer and thinking a back up plan will pop into my head any minute now.

didja have to hunt for that price (research) or was it just a matter of geting a quote?

I researched it by getting quotes from over 20 companies. This is easy to do with any of the many online quote engines. It was something like fate that I ended up with the company I did, though, as I had not dealt with them in 15 years and got a postcard from them in the mail the day I began getting quotes.

----------

I went for yet another week without buying anything but groceries, fuel, and dinner and a movie for the weekly "date night" with my wife (this is a good thing for us, but we still "go frugal with it" by going to the theater on the half price day and using restaurant coupons, like buy one entree and 2 drinks to get the second entree for free), but I got stymied yesterday.

My Little Brother and I spent from 10am - 2pm at an outdoor mountain event that did not provide anyone - even the children - with lunch. They just had some snacks out, but we were moved from one activity to another so quickly that we had no time to eat much. As such, once we headed out after the event we were quite hungry, and my Little's mother currently works at a fast food place in the food court at a shopping mall. I had to drop him off to her there, where the smells are overwhelming, so after the 35 minute drive/park/walk I easily and readily spent $8 on some TexMex and a soda there.

Not today, but a few days ago at a local store, and paid less than the cheapest online prices...

Fresh apples at a local orchard.
I have a penchant for the "golden delicious" variety and eat at least 2 a day.
