shoelaces

The other day I was vacuuming, and the shoelace on my boot got sucked into the vacuum cleaner. The wrapping on the lace was shredded. I wasn't wearing the boot at the time. It was sitting on the floor of the closet I was vacuuming.

I bought some new laces. At first, I wasn't sure if I should replace both laces, but I ultimately did because I felt the differences between the new laces and the original laces were noticeable enough to justify doing so.

gatorade

I've been concerned I'm not properly hydrated, so I stopped by Walgreens and bought a Gatorade. That way I can hydrate, but also get some extra vitamins in my system. Vitamin Water seems trashy to me.

coupons

Today, my coupons almost weren't factored into my Kroger purchase. The cashier had placed my stack of them next to the register while she was scanning, and I think I must have thrown her routine off when I asked her for one the of the stickers that the bagger was wearing.

Luckily, as I was walking away, she remembered she hadn't scanned the coupons. I was able to go to the service desk and get their worth in cash.

meat

I went to the store to get some lunchmeat. There was a special going on, so I got a discount if I bought two packages from a certain brand. I meant to get two packages of turkey, but when I got home I realized that I had accidentally bought one turkey and one roast beef.

At first, I was disappointed and upset with myself, but upon making a roast beef sandwich I remembered how much I like it. Plus, I checked my receipt and I still got the discount.

One thing I enjoy doing is putting turkey and roast beef on a sandwich. I'll have a primary meat, like turkey, then add a little bit of the secondary meat, roast beef. It makes for a more interesting sandwich.

soap

I buy liquid soap in the large refill jugs because it saves money. Last time, I got Dial's "Fresh Pear" foaming hand wash, which I initially liked the smell of. Unfortunately, I've already grown tired of it. I need to be more careful buying soap next time and not just rely on liking a strong, sweet aroma at the time of purchase.

If it had been just one dispenser-full, it would have been the perfect amount. I would have still enjoyed the fragrance when it ran out (this is what happened with a cocoa butter dispenser I bought once), but this is too much of a strong smell for too long.

wallet

I've had my current wallet for six years. It's a tri-fold, which I unquestioningly use because it's the kind my dad uses. I think I might need to replace it, but I never to think about it when I'm in the store, which is funny, since I have to pull it out to make a purchase.
