Last Item Bought

[Nrthwnd]

We just spent over $70 cdn for a bunch of Italian-related stuff from a close by,  "totally Italian" grocery store, LOL!

.... Bosa Foods   https://bosafoods.com/   A really awesome place to find good Italian (and local) food products and deli, in Vancouver.

This included gnocchi, pitted olives (for a future loaf of home made bread), cheeses, egg noodles and some 'deli' to eat immediately!

Last time I bought session therapy in this clinic https://bestketamineclinics.com/

It might not be the most recent, but I love it enough to share.

13 horror-themed Funko pocket POP! figures.

[CaptainUnknown]

So I found this Blu-Ray of Army of Darkness on sale...

for 1 cent off.

Pizza and a beer, yesterday (with tip) = $35 Cdn.

And it was sooooooo gooooood.

Bought myself a Pixel 6 Pro. The first time I've ever spent more than $200 on a phone and I'm loving it. Taking lots of photos of my 3 cats

I had to replace my shaver, so that is my last item!

[Nrthwnd]

I just mailed out most of my Holiday Card List. All the out of town cards. And yes, I still do send out cards.

I enjoy the fact that when handwritten, the card becomes all the more special, to people I send them to.

And I certainly appreciate and enjoy receiving cards, too. And a good # of them in the past have been bee-yoo-tiful!

Anyway, along with a couple of gift packages mailed, stamps for International; USA; Canada = $94.82 ....... Cdn.

I bought 3 "Winter Balsam" candles from Aldi. They are my favorite Christmas candles!

[Nrthwnd]

^ I'm curious. What do you like about these particular candles? And can you post a pic of them?

[Dan the Coaster Man]

 I like that it is strong, there are 3 wicks and I love the scent of pine! Pretty cheap too. I forget the exact price, but it is Aldi. I'm sure you could get at least 2 of these for a similar sized Yankee Candle

[CaptainUnknown]

I picked up an out of service "DEAD END" road sign for $40. I've done some work at a Halloween attraction called The Dead End Hayride.

[Nrthwnd]

Just bought $50 Cdn of liquor and ciders. And a couple of lottery tickets, too

[Nrthwnd]

Between the wonderful French dinner we had on Thursday, and the amazing Cirque show (Alegria) we saw last night, with VIP tickets....

We spent almost $1000 (Cdn) for our 50th Anny (almost) Weekend! The VIP tickets were bought last November. And paid for, by now. Still ....

P.S. Forgot to add: we did a pre-Anniversary amazing steak/lobster dinner at our fave steak house (The KEG) a few weeks back. And that cost us nearly $190 Cdn. with taxes, tip, and gift cards. So we definitely did a Thousand Dollar Anniversary for ourselves, lol.

I bought Some boots.

 

 

 

and then I just bought some MORE boots

[Dan the Coaster Man]

I just bought another "spy belt" for coaster riding.  I found the one I have gets stinky so now I have two to rotate!

[Nrthwnd]

Groceries = nearly $190 Cdn for two weeks of stuff.

 

^^ P.S. Your new rainbow boots look awesome. Bert! Both pairs, actually.

[CaptainUnknown]

Over $100 worth of Halloween candy on clearance. I paid $47. The only problem (other than all the calories I'll be too lazy to work off) was that while everything was tagged for clearance on the shelves, when it was rung up, it still read full price and had to be manually changed. Thank you to Rita the cashier for helping me.

I did this shopping at 2am--long after the rush for the deals. While ringing me up, we mused as to how many people paid full price, never thinking to check if they actually were getting the deals.

Pizza Night, tonight!

When means, I went across the street. had  a lovely plateful of spaghetti w/bacon (Carbonara?) all through it.

And then I ordered a pizza for pick up, later tonight.

Total cost, with a tip: $65 Cdn. (I also had two beers, while there.)

[Nrthwnd]

Just ordered two "VIP Experience" tickets to another Cirque du Soleil show coming to town, one year from now: KOOZA.

This is the show's second appearance in Vancouver, the first being in .... 2010. And we saw it back then.

This time though, we get lots of perks, including great seats, open bar and nibbles, and it all costs ..... $632 (cdn) for two tix.

And this will be paid off before the year is over. Woo hoo!

[CaptainUnknown]

This now piece of history has been added to my collection.

[Nrthwnd]

Had to get a brand new refrigerator the week before Christmas weekend! $940 (cdn)

But we had the House Savings account for something like this. Still. timing was NOT perfect, lol.

[DoinItForTheFame]

Last thing I bought was a piece of pizza for lunch today. Yummy! - And now I am super full. 

[Nrthwnd]

Bought tickets to the new Cirque du Soleil show coming to town in November .... ECHO.

And for the third time doing this, we're going VIP again! Free appys and tapas, drinks, meeting cast members, separate entry, bathrooms and a lovely outdoor terrace (with separate tables and chairs) to eat, drink, and enjoy the evening. Plus, we get a "swag bag" each, with the programme in it and 'other surprises.'

The total cost of this is nearly $700 Cdn. (just over $500 for the U.S.), but after doing it twice, definitely worth it for us. And they announce the show usually over a year from it's arrival. Thereby making it easy to pay for the tickets, and having them paid in full, by the time we see the show. Yay!
