I don’t think it’s going to be much of a looker, but I hope it tastes all right. I’ll see if I can snap a pic or two all the same. 🙂 ---

I bought a goddam refrigerator. My fridge was making horrible noises a few weeks ago. I had a repair guy come out and he said the drain was clogged causing ice to build up in the insulation. He cleared the drain, but said the ice might have caused permanent damage. Apparently he was correct because it’s started making noise again. I bit the bullet and ordered a new one today. It’s not my first choice for a $1600 Christmas present to myself. ---

I eat breakfast at work and always have a banana. I bring enough with me for the week. I got halfway to work and realized of all things, I forgot my bananas! Instead of forgoing my daily banana, I stopped at a Kwik Trip and bought 2 (I’m only working 2 days this week). Total purchase was 23 cents and I had to use my debit card because I had no cash with me! ---

I realized last night I was almost out of one of my prescription meds so today I’ll have to run to the pharmacy for a refill. I’m also making turkey stock today (_roasted_ turkey stock… mmmm…) and I don’t think I have enough freezer containers so I may be stopping and getting some more before the stock is done. ---

3 litres of milk. We ran out, so I had to break my “no shopping on Boxing Day” pledge. But I just walked to the corner store; nowhere near the Big Box sales. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-did-you-buy-today/995020.md?page=4)
