The last thing I bought was:
a manicure for $10 & they did a rotten job. New place. Never again.
NOTE: this topic was borrowed from another board I frequent.

$10 for a manicure?? Whoa. I don't think I've ever paid less than $20, even in Houston.

I bought potting soil. But we're getting a cold front so I don't know when I'm going to be able to use it.

breakfast - coffee and a breakfast sandwich. $4 Relief will be forth coming. In the future you will pay for your coffee and breakfast sandwich with a gallon of milk and will receive 4 eggs and a carrot in change

I was at the park with my son on Friday and decided to walk over to the local drive-inn which had just opened for the season a week earlier. It's a historical site in our town...oldest restaurant in town and family owned since the 1930's. I hadn't been there for nearly 30 years and figured why not. $9.87 for a few fries, 3 chicken strips and a pop. Yeah, that's why not.

A pair of Keen sneakers from Haute Look this morning.
I'm afraid to look at the other sites now.

I went to Target last night to buy diapers and ended up getting new sheets and a lightweight quilt. Then between the new sheets and the thunderstorm this morning, I could not drag my ass out of bed, so I just spent $2 to park downstairs so I wouldn't be late.

I did my "civic duty" last week. Spent 2+ hours with 52 other people sitting on a hard ass bench during voir dire, next to a woman who was sick as a dog. Couldn't move either as we were seated by juror number. Waited another hour+ while they picked their jury, which I was of course selected for. Went from "what a freaking scumbag" during opening statements to "WTF are we doing here"? Now I'm on deaths door with whatever the woman next to me had x10. Blah.
I did earn $46 for my time and will likely spend 3x that on meds, copays and whatever else if I continue getting worse.

I purchased a quart of primer, a quart of semigloss paint in a pretty color, sandpaper, sanding blocks, and tacky cloths and a pair of gloves for yard work - about $42.00 worth so I could finish 'refinishing' an old dresser I stripped and sanded about 16 years old. The dresser has been sitting waiting for me to choose a color and, well, just finish it! The problem was that I originally envisioned staining it... but once I stripped it, I realized it wasn't worth staining - it's made out of various qualities of wood. That problem with my image of the final results stalled the project. Anyway, finally took some days off of work and decided I'd finish the dresser.
My next purchase will be the polyuerathane which I will hopefully be applying this weekend.

Yesterday, I spent part of a MAC cosmetics gift card the hubby gave me last freaking year. I know, hard to believe it took me that long, given I hate to go anywhere without my war paint on. Wandered over to Macy's after that, and stumbled into a shoe sale. Found 2 very cute pairs of shoes that fit me. My birthday present to myself this year.

75% of my house is ceramic or hardwood. They ALWAYS choose the carpet. It's like a cat/dog creed.

$30. co-pay to have a tick pulled off my back, plus blood test. I couldn't reach the thing and my sister can't deal with ticks.

Well, technically the last thing I bought was lunch.
But the last non consumable purchase I made was an ethernet cable and passport photos.

Four 100% cotton kitchen towels from Williams-Sonoma. $19.95. I know I know I know - that's a LOT of money for kitchen towels, but someone gave me a set and they are awesome! The cheap ones I have are not nearly as absorbent and sturdy. Even DH loves them - that's what made me decide to spring for a second set. He rarely comments on the quality of things but when he does, I pay attention.

I had about 4 packages that I picked up on sale for 50% off. You're right, they are MUCH nicer than all the others. No W-S store around here though, so can't make a run though to check out their sale tables.....dammit!

Other than DGD 1st birthday party on Sat. I didn't leave the house all weekend. So, the last thing I bought was Friday morning: a soy chai from Starbucks and a dinky over-priced fruit cup. I used a gift card, though, or else I wouldn't spend the money on that type of thing. I enjoy Starbucks every now and then but I won't be buying their miniture fruit cups anymore!

Yesterday it was Propel, sour cream, shredded cheddar and distilled water at Target. I also snagged an awesome pair of heels for $8 at DSW.
Today was my morning iced coffee at Dunkin Donuts for $2.32.
