The only kind of shopping I really enjoy is grocery shopping. And corny as it sounds, every week I make myself buy (try) one new thing.

I never by low-fat stuff normally, but I bought Breyers Heartsmart Orange and Raspberry Fruit And Cream Bars and now I can eat several boxes a day if I'm not careful.

What product are you enjoying?

[pianogirl04]

Hmm. Does it have to be food-related? I'm kind of getting a kick out of frozen waffles :lol: I am extremely lazy when it comes to breakfast -- if it's not easy, I usually don't eat in the morning... other than a banana as I'm headed out the door.

Outside of food, I'm all about the Aussie hair stuff. The only stuff that works on my hair -- I've tried everything.

No, it doesn't have to be food, especially since I hate breakfast foods. :)

It seems that whenever I'm a guest the host has Aussie hair stuff. It's okay; I'm just not nuts about the smell compared to other shampoos, not that it's bad.

Good. You can shop for me because I hate going -- especially if it's with my father who makes a two hour ordeal out of it by reading each package and scanning each aisle to make sure he hasn't missed anything.

As far as products go, I love my Aveda lip glaze in Kamara and my lip gloss in Grapefruit Pulp. I'm running out of both and that? makes me sad. This is more than likely of no interest to you unless you're not telling me something :shocked: ;)

This is Darrelle, but this is Lux. Lux's computer is not operating at the moment, but she felt it was very important that she participated in this thread. She is narrating this via telephone, and I am typing it out for her:

"My product of the week is Land's Butter. For consumation or just personal decoration. I think that about sums it up."

Trying not to overdo it on them, though! Why are they so good?

On the somewhat healthier side, I've been having these for breakfast when I don't have time for anything else. Well, not the cinnamin raisin but the banana. :nod:

[DrummerDeanna]

I am hooked on the bagged cereal by Malt-O-Meal called Frosted Mini-Spooners, they're the cheaper brand of Frosted Mini-Wheats - but WAY better -and cheaper - I can't start my day correctly without a bowl of them :p

other products I enjoy:

-Pringles light - not the fat free - but the lighter ones....yummy
-Trident - Tropical Twist gum..omg I am SO hooked on this.
-Brilliant Brunette shampoo and conditioner.

[Livia]

Outside of food, I'm all about the Aussie hair stuff. The only stuff that works on my hair -- I've tried everything.

Amen, sistah! Aussie Sprunch spray is the only curly hair product that works for me. Yeah, it smells like grape Bubbleyum, but it works!

As for food - Healthy Choice caramel brownie ice cream is my current weakness!

I know I have a big mouth so no argument there. I don't know where I got my lips because my parents aren't that big. I always knew I was adopted! :laugh: Actually, the Grapefruit Pulp lasted a few months thank you very much; but apparently, it's what everyone wants for the summer and we always run out of it.

Going to the mall=too many people!
On-line shopping= too scarry
Buying things from TV=too unknown-Look at that Carly Simon "vegas, 40's hits CD !haha)
So for me, it's Grocery shopping=too easy :] :]
I love planning dinners and checking out the fresh produce and meats-
Yes, as I stated before Maybe I am crazy...but I enjoy food shopping

The latest new thing I tried was chocolate lover's ready to bake cookies. They are loaded with different types of chocolate chips. So far it has been to hot to bake, so I've been eating the dough. :shocked: However, it is lasting quite a while because lately I have been having Ben and Jerry's ice cream, the latest flavor I tried is Magic Brownies, which is vanilla with chocolate brownies and rasberry swirls. Yummy!

[DrummerDeanna]

Y I have been having Ben and Jerry's ice cream, the latest flavor I tried is Magic Brownies, which is vanilla with chocolate brownies and rasberry swirls. Yummy!


Yuck. There is nothing worse than biting into a nice chocolate-looking something only to find it's also got rasberry :eek: I am very against the mixing of chocolate and fruit of any kind :laugh:

But the ice cream part reminds me of my recent addiction to hot fudge sundaes, I've been eating them LOTS at home...with low fat ice cream :p

[pianogirl04]

I got some of that D-Humidify spray -- goes on like really stiff hairspray, but when you brush through it afterwards, totally calms the frizzies -- and my hair is nothing *but* 110% frizz in this humidity. I haven't washed my hair since yesterday and it's not greasy at all. I can handle this. :nod:

Yuck - the thought is making me gag, seriously. No taste is more vile to me than chocolate and rasberry....

I can tolerate Chocolate and banana....but nothing else, not even strawberry.

Oh - I don't like rasberry as a stand alone good either though - I think the tast is just nasty...

And oddly -even with my strong aversion to rasberry as a food -Sun Ripened Rasberry body spray and lotion from Bath and Body Works is something I love :p

And I love a fine dessert like a really dark and dense chocolate torte with rasberry sauce. Just luscious... Gagging again? :lol:

I also love the smell of that Bath and Body Works product!

Lately, for my hair, I've been using Biolage. It is great for summer because my hair can get so dry and it rehydrates it.

[HomerMcvie]

Product I'm addicted to?
TAB. Does anyone else drink it? My Mom drank it when I was a kid, and I'm HOOKED on it. Diet Coke sucks!!! TAB is my coffee. Two cans when I wake up, everyday! It's getting harder to find though.
Bonus points will be given for who can tell me(sans Googling) what the acronym stands for.

Totally gagging, because I also don't like dark chocolate. I bought a bag of Ghiradeli, or however it's spelled, dark chocolate squares - because I figured I"d be less likely to gorge myself on those - and it was true - but I can't eat them at all - I find them gross and they do nothing to calm my chocolate cravings :) I am just a milk chocolate fan :blob1:

Oh, it's there. You just have to know which store carries it. They only make it in 12 packs now, in my region anyway. They stopped making 2 liters 2-3 years ago. AFAIK, it's the only drink still made with saccharin (sp). That's what gives it it's special taste. The pink stuff. Even Fresca switched to Nutrasweet.
No guesses on the acronym?

My hair is what it is because of Neutrogena Replenishing Shampoo and GOBS (like the size of a tennis ball everyday) of Pantene Smooth and Sleek conditioner. Probably my best feature.

Foodwise: Philadelphia Ultra Low Fat Cream Cheese. Oh, my God. (Of course, I eat so much of it that it's no longer ultra low fat).

And I'm completely addicted to Rice Cakes. With the ultra low fat cream cheese on top. :laugh:

And Frank's Original RedHot Sauce. I eat it on everything. Including rice cakes with ultra low fat cream cheese.

No, really. :shocked:

I gotta come out in support of Deanna here. :wavey: I hate and loathe chocolate and raspberry together, too. Nothing is less tempting as a dessert to me than a dark, gooey chocolate cake/mousse/ganache with raspberry. Gag.

I don't really care for bananas at all - except banana popsicles! :laugh:

They are so delicious! It's basically Sprite with cherry syrup added, half of a lime, and a couple cherries thrown in there too, on finely crushed ice - that's the key -the ice! They squeeze the lime and leave it in the bottom of the cup, so you always get a taste of it thru the straw. The diet version is just w/ diet Sprite.

One time I got one when their ice crusher machine was busted and it was regular ice cubes. It just wasn't the same!

I hate drive-thrus. I want to see my orders before I leave.
When I first moved to Austin I stayed with friends near Flipnotics & the TC at Lamar. Now I live near a TC in Houston, but I think I've been there twice in four years. I like that the portions are decent. And open 24 hours. And big iced teas.

- Jake

[GardenStateGirlie]

And open 24 hours.

Cause nothing says "good night" like a taco at 3 am (which i'm guessing in your case, is chicken).

They advertise Sonic up here all the time but i've yet to see one. The only southern food chain we have is Chick-Fil A' (sweet tea and waffle fries :thumbsup: )

I've never been to Sonic either, I don't think. Went to Dairy Queen last night, though. Good God do I love Blizzards. :cool:

I've been all about Pepperidge Farms Goldfish crackers & pretzels lately.

Tim Horton's (Dee - do you have one up there?) has kick ass frozen cappucinos :nod:. They crush the ice, which is key. I got one from stupid Dunkin Donuts the other day & it just was NOT the same.

I think I've been to Starbucks 3 times in my life. I don't get what the hubub's about. :shrug:

I think unless you REALLY like coffee, it's not so great. I'm drinking one now (the boss treated us all). It's just so-so.

[ryan8472]

I'm not a coffee person...I hate it actually. I do LOVE the Strawberry Coolatas at Dunkin Donuts tho. :nod: :thumbsup:

[DrummerDeanna]

I've never been to Sonic either, I don't think. Went to Dairy Queen last night, though. Good God do I love Blizzards. :cool:

I've been all about Pepperidge Farms Goldfish crackers & pretzels lately.

Tim Horton's (Dee - do you have one up there?) has kick ass frozen cappucinos :nod:. They crush the ice, which is key. I got one from stupid Dunkin Donuts the other day & it just was NOT the same.


I'm on a Pep. Farm's Goldfish kick too!!!

And yes, we have Tim HOrtons - I've yet to go to one - because I had no idea what it was...:shrug:

Baaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrffffffffffffffff.

Dunkin' Donuts makes me sick to my stomach. :laugh: I get the dry heaves just thinking about that place. Same with Friendly's. I swear, there's a conspiracy. It's the only explanation for why the northeast has so many bad restaurants.

I don't like coffee to begin with, but NO cup of coffee is worth five ****ing dollars. Puhleeze. I've only been to a couple of Starbucks in my day and I can't control my laughter when I hear people ordering their coffee. It's like they're speaking a different language. :laugh:

:eek: OH! MY! GOD! :eek:

Go there! NOW! Seriously! Get off the computer & go!

It's basically a donut place (or that's how it started out, anyway.) But they have great coffee & cappucino (like Ryan, I hate coffee, so I do cappucinos.) The English Toffee one is my fave, French Vanilla is good too. In the summer, I'm all about their Iced Capps.

They also have good lunches there too - soup & sandwiches, mainly. A nice change from the usual fast food crap. :nod: And muffins & bagels & donuts, of course. The Berry Explosion Muffin is to die for - wait, scrath that, I forgot your rasberry aversion. :o

Bitch, please. Where else am I supposed to go??

Good point. But still. :laugh:

Do you have any Between Rounds in Jersey? That's a good place and cheap to boot.

lol - well I can't go now - but I will check them out -you say donut and I'm there!! lol....

I just assumed they were some sort of fast food/burger joint type place :shrug: I'm so going to check out these drinks you speak of now :p

[GardenStateGirlie]

Newp, can't say that i've ever heard of them before.

[darklinensuit]

I don't like donuts at all.
I do like the strawberries & cream drink at Starbucks. Right now I'm in Austin at a friend's who works somewhat high up for Starbucks, & she gets me free stuff. :thumbsup:

Don't drink the new mint thing they have there -- It's gross. I don't know what I expected it to taste like but it was waaay too strong and sweet.

too much excitementI love the Raspberry Ice and the Lemondae!!! :thumbsup:

[catinthedark]

K - I must be the country's worst Canadian...

I don't get the whole Tim Horton's thing. It's just coffee. Not even good coffee, in my opinion. And you think they speak a different language at Starbucks? The first time I walked into a Tim Horton's and heard people ordering up "double doubles" and "single doubles" I was like, WTF??

Give me a "tall 1/2-sweet iced coffee" at Starbucks anytime!! :laugh: :laugh:

(*ducks and hides from the Mounties as they come to strip me of my Canadian citizenship*)

yikes :eek: I'm not big into coffee - but donuts? I love - however as I just weighed myself today - I won't be eating any donuts for a long time...

So no trip to Tim Horton's for me - it will remain a mystery.

And yeah - sadly -I've been to more bad restaurants than good up here - I miss the good food of the southwest :o

I don't eat mint anything. It's like eating toothpaste.

I don't mind mint chocolate chip ice cream every now and then but that drink was gross. Two sips and it was in the trash. I can't even describe what it tasted like.

Really? I can't help much with Rochester restaurants, but let me know if you want to hang in Buffalo sometime. :) I did try Ethipoian food at Abyssinia - very good & very reasonable.

Oh, and please treat yourself to Timmy Ho's. Don't listen to Catinthedark, she's going straight to hell for posting bad things about them :nod: . :lol:

I went to the Taste of Buffalo yesterday (my favorite festival here, mainly cuz it involves so much food, lol) and had Mintopotomas Goo from Bing's. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, but it was ice cream & chocolate & I swear there were Girl Scout Thin Mints in there. It was tastey.

:laugh: Oh no - now I'm so torn lol.....well not really - I can't go there anytime soon - I'm not strong enough yet to resist donuts :distress:

And yeah - Buffalo is on my list of places to hang out actually - I want to try some Buffalo Wings in the home of buffalo wings :laugh:

You can have a donut if you want to! It's about balance.

Mmm, buffalo wings. I've wanted to see Rochester too. A friend of mine at my last job is from there and he loves it.

lol - I know - but right now I need to steer clear of junk food - completely - I tend to overdo it :distress:

Right, that flour/sugar/fat combo can really trigger a binge, it's like crack. Stupid donuts. I rarely eat them myself because they make you feel like crap after you eat them. But they're so yummy!

:nod: I know - inevetiable I get sick after eating a donut lol - but I still love them :p

I threw out some candy I had in my house last night - I'm going to get serious about it this time - I scared the crap out of myself when I got on the scale this weekend - I just like to maintain - gaining sucks...so now I'm going to try and lose some then try and do a better job of maintaining :D

Good for you, just always stay positive. Its so hard but the more you try the better you get at it. My body has changed so much in the past couple of months and it has really motived me to keep at it. :thumbsup:

:nod: I just needed a little nudge - this weekend I played Volleyball, Tennis and Basketball - then went for a long bike ride AND took my dog for a little run :D

So after I felt so good doing that stuff I remembered the great benefits of gym going (I've been slacking BIG TIME) and I do believe I'm finally ready to go back and really hit it big time!

Rock it! The motivation seems to ebb and flow. I forget what kicked me in the butt this spring but something got me going. Now, if only I could keep the motivation always. So far so good.

Me too - I've been VERY bad. I'm planning on starting back at the gym tomorrow. No more excuses.

Dee - let me know when you're ready to "try those wings." ;) We can meet up & hang or I can at least give you names & addresses of the best places.

Thin mints are the only kind i'll eat -- frozen. But I can't eat many of them because they're far too sweet.

I'm excited -- I went to work today to get my hair chopped off :eek: and they finally had my grapefruit pulp gloss :blob1: (clearly, i'm happy -- that blob only comes out on special occassions).

I may be the only person that dislikes that particular brand of ice cream.

That's it, I'm going to need you to turn in your ovaries. :lol:

[ryan8472]

Eh, I'm more of a chocholate shake kind of person, rather than an ice cream person. Tho hot fudge sundaes are awesome. And as for the brand? I like Ben & Jerry's only because they have sooooooooo many flavors. :nod:

[skcin]

Mwahahaha!! But at least I'll have GOOD coffee in hell!!! :]


Yeah, good luck. I'm sure Starbucks will be there. :nod:

My latest ice cream addiction is Breyers Peach. Very refreshing in the summer time :nod:
