Day 264: Returns, T-Shirts, and N2O Cream Charger Cartridges

Posted on | May 22, 2008 |

The Container Store — ($35.31)
I returned four items from my shopping spree last week: First, the plastic lid to storage box on coasters.  Come on, let’s be realistic here — it will be a miracle if I can get The Son to actually contain his socks and misc stuff in these containers to begin with; asking him to use a lid is beyond unrealistic.Second, the small concealed book shelf.  I really like the concept of these but I’m more of a book-stack-on-a-chair-I-can move kind of person (see photo).Third was the large concealed book shelf (returned for the same reason as above).And fourth, I returned tie rack because I found a cheaper one I liked better at Target.

Waldenbooks — ($16.79)
I returned the book The Daughter bought here because we ended up having to re-purchase it an independent book store so we could also buy a ticket to the author’s book signing.

J.Crew — $21.52
It has become clear over the past few weeks that The Son simply does not have enough t-shirts.  He’s running out of clean t-shirts way before the next laundry cycle happens.

Sur La Table — $21.54
I bought a 24-cartridge box of iSi N20 cream charger cartridges.  Earlier this year when my mom sold her house and nearly all of her possessions, the number one item I asked for was her iSi whip cream whipper.  She only had two cartridges left and I used one of them at The Husband’s birthday party earlier this month.  Now we’re flush with Nitrous Oxide ;)BTW, I also learned why I got sick the other night after eating strawberries and whipped cream with The Son.  Turns out that commercial powdered sugar contains cornstarch.  [heavy sarcasm] Silly me, I forgot to read the sugar bag for ingredients.
