Happy Monday August 6, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question:
What, if any, sorts of products do you look for sales or discounts on ?
Have you made a purchase that seemed like a bargain-if so, was it long ago or recently ?
Extra Credit:
How often do you change your online profile picture or cover photo online (at whichever social media site or forum/board, of which you are a member) ?
Bonus:
Do you own a swimsuit, or do you use regular clothing in which to swim ?
If you swim-is it mostly laps, or mostly swimming around in a non-organized way ?
Have you done “water aerobics” for exercise ?
Just for Fun:
Don’t mean this seriously, only humorously…your answer doesn’t actually need to be for an existing food competition item.
Is there a food you feel like you could eat “competitively”, because it seems you can just eat handful after handful of it ?

Today’s Question: What, if any, sorts of products do you look for sales or discounts on ? Anything. Always up for a bargain. It's like a game and it's fun to win. Have you made a purchase that seemed like a bargain-if so, was it long ago or recently ? Many times. For instance, a great jacket for $25 that is worth much more.
Extra Credit:
How often do you change your online profile picture or cover photo online ? Seldom.
Bonus: Do you own a swimsuit, or do you use regular clothing in which to swim ? Own a swimsuit, but have done both. Funny you should ask these the same day because my CD profile pic is of me skinny dipping. If you swim-is it mostly laps, or mostly swimming around in a non-organized way ? Bit of both. Or diving is fun. Have you done “water aerobics” for exercise ? Just swimming.

Have you done “water aerobics” for exercise ? It's mostly laps, and I like to practice each of the different strokes I know how to do (crawl, backstroke, side stroke, butterfly). Just for Fun:

Have you made a purchase that seemed like a bargain-if so, was it long ago or recently ? much of the food we bought in Toronto this weekend seemed very reasonably priced - particularly because it’s supposed to be an expensive City.

Amazon.com is where all the bargains are.

My last purchase from Amazon was 3 king size sheet sets. All were significantly less than department store prices.
