We're a recalcitrant group; if you title your thread, "Hey, gals, what do you think of this," of course, the guys will jump right in. You know you have a good thread going when it veers off into several directions and someone yells, "bacon."
I resisted buying a book today. Went to a book signing, waited in line to talk to the author. In his interview he said that even though he's got three good-selling books, he couldn't make a living at writing. Said the solution is "printing on demand" where the author gets a large enough cut. I wanted to know what kind of deal he got with his Kindle sales. Not good, they're Robber Barons like the hard-cover publishers. Said to go with printing on demand or buy from him right now. Good sales guy, I still feel guilty I didn't buy it right there.

I was in Uwajimaya today and was tempted to buy some hog bung, but I resisted. It wasn't on sale.

I shopped for groceries at Sobeys (SBY-TSX) and toiletries at Shopper's Drug Mart (SC-TSX), both of which are already in my portfolio. Does that count?

I am Grocery Woman, hear me roar!
I've been steadily using up my pantry stock, accumulated over the last year. All things that were due to expire in 2010 are consumed.
Once the weather goes south (or should I say north  ), driving downtown to go shopping is a real pain in the keister.
So I decided today was the day to go do my winter pantry shopping.
I spent over $200 on canned goods, dry goods, meats for freezing, candy bars  , coffee and paper supplies. Glad it's all over and done with. 
However, I have this lingering squirrelly feeling...

I haven't bought since July. At the time I topped up my REITs (good timing there) and bought into the 20yr TIPS auction.

I bought POM-Potomac Electric Holdings for the 7% dividend. Also I had sold it last spring for $22 and bought it back for <$15.

You guys are making it hard for me to convert from a herbivore to an omnivore.

Invested in some three-twig lighted branches at Costco as Christmas gifts - we have a set up in the livingroom and they are great - 90 little bulbs/set and it looks like pussy willow branches - uses about 11 watts and gives just the right amount of gentle light. $20/set. Actually designed to be used outdoors. Heck of a buy.

The check engine light came on--a miracle of science for us car idiots. Getting new injectors as we speak. Whatever they are.

Common for that to be a mileage generated warning light - Did you just turn 50k or 100k or some even number? The check engine light is normally advisory. GM: we want you to open your wallet at 50k intervals - we're putting a light on the dash to encourage that.

When mine last went on, tightening the fuel cap and waiting a week didn't help. But when I took it to Autozone, they diagnosed it (with a computer) for free and told me what the problem was. Then I took it to the Toyota dealer and they told me the same thing (so I knew they weren't trying to get one over on me) and I got the EGR valve replaced. All this stuff is done by computer these days, I guess.

Wow! What kind of car? It sounds like you had a terrific day today. 
I haven't bought anything but groceries since my last post on this thread (about buying my daughter's wedding present). Oh well.
