Favorite products on a budget.

OK, these are a few of my favorite things.

Suave Skin Therapy Cocoa Butter Lotion.

It isn't greasy, and when you're done using it, you smell like a cup of hot cocoa or a fudgesicle. I find it hard not to lick myself after using it. But it's NOT edible....just smells like it.

After you get past the initial:

Lifesavers gummi sours are pretty good. I like the cherry best, but it's rude to pick just the cherry ones out of the bag.

POCKY! It's Japanese, I think. You can get it at the Asian food aisle at Wal-Mart. Don't go on Saturday afternoon, though.

They are little biscuit sticks with really good dark chocolate on them. They are as much fun to say as to eat, try it, "Pocky...pocky!"*

Mmmmmmmm........pocky.

*No, I don't work for Pocky Incorporated.

Persimmons! Persimmons! Not on a budget though. But worth every cent of the 75 cents.

We don't have Trader Joe's here!



Persimmon was the answer to one of my Jeopardy questions. OK...as of now I am on a quest for persimmons. I am going to try a persimmon. I've never had one. Now I must.

At Trader Joe's in Ventura I bought lychees. Have you had them? They are kind of like eyeballs, but they are delicious.

BTW - you look like some Egyptian statue with the two eyed thing you have going on.

Oil of Olay............Total Effects moisturiser......ok not really, really cheap at about $20............but amazingly good......it can wipe the floor with an awful lot of those designer brands..........
a tip.............once you've put it on your neck/face, rub the residue on the backs of your hands ,to prevent age spots/sun damage....

L'occitanne.............Shea butter ............100% solid shea butter, very very, versatile but it's French, so you might not have it in the USA..................

There were no persimmons at the supermarket! I wish we had a Trader Joe's. I LOVE THAT STORE!

[quirky]

Oooh. Now that I'm here near Chicago I need to check out the supermarket for persimmons. I'm still a persimmon virgin.


The store here is called "Hilander". Which makes me think of Christopher Lambert every time I go there.

My library card. Best investment I ever made, I can rent books, movies and they have awesome CDs. I keep them for a week and then return them. If I really love them, then buy them. What a deal!
