What's the last thing you bought?

A Starbucks pumpkin spice latte because it's right next to work and I only like the holiday flavors.

Some new pillows for Dh I have a memory foam pillow I use, a new duvet, a new duvet cover, some gift bags & tissue paper, 2 bottles of water, Dh got a fresh cream apple danish & some soft bread rolls at the local bakery, Dh & my meds for the month.

Yeah, tank up while you can toongirl...they're not available in the UK.

HOWEVER, there is a massive movement on StarbucksUK to try to get the PSL brought over. Apparently they think there's 'not enough interest' for it in the UK. How misinformed they are huh?

My friend's SIL lives in Copenhagen and Starbucks has PSLs over there! If they're good enough for Denmark, they're good enough for Britain (and Ireland)!

Tickets to go to the US for xmas!

£470 Heathrow to Newark on Virgin

There was some cheap layover options (£375) on Icelandic Air for people still looking to go to NYC area on lastminute.com & travelsupermarket

Lol, yes I'm in the states for hopefully a few more months.

OOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!  I just saw your post!  Thank you so much for the tips!  Those are excellent prices for Christmas time. Have a great holiday.

I did some Xmas shopping from JCpenney.com - they ship to the UK 
Since I can pay with USD dollars my debit card and shipping wasn't THAT bad I was excited!

New Queen Sheets (ok just cause I want them)
Sleepwear for DH
Jerry Garcia Tie for DH
Fun Boxers
Nice going out shirt for DH

Shipping and all for $161.00 - I was over the moon as those sheets would cost me £80 pounds here!

you might be surprised when you get the order as UK customs will usually tack on a big fee .... sometimes it just works better to have it shipped to the US and have someone send it on to you here.

Oh it states shipping handling and insurance.....I guess I will find out DARN!
This would equal £101 pounds and I know I couldn't get the stuff I got for that amount so if I have to pay approx 20% in VAT that is £20 = $31 still not horrible but hope I dont have too...

Yeeesssssssss.  I had no clue that JC Penny's ship to the UK.  As I'm nestling in my cozy bed, I was looking up if they sell Vellux blankets there and couldn't find anything. Thank you.  Thank you. Thank you.  Even if customs tacks on some money, at least I know I'll never be out.

Funny~my fiance got a Jerry Garcia dress shirt and tie last time he was here.

And why do good quality sheets/blankets cost so much there??
 

Well JCP doesn't add it but I KNEW somewhere did when I was shopping such as Sears.com.
When you check out at Sears.com it says
Duty & VAT so you know what you are paying for which is excellent and shipping wasn't insane! I am checking there to see if I can get what I had at JCP and cancel JCP.

Thanks ncny for making me look into that!

toongirl..I know I read on one of them they can't ship certain brands if it is sold here by another name.  Like Sears  (one of the brands) supplies NEXT clothes I think I read. All intertwined to confuse me ;-)

PSL?? Sorry, I'm semi illiterate in my acronyms. haha  And oh yes, how they are so very misinformed.

PSL - pumpkin spice latte 

The last thing I bought was the second installment on my son's exchange student trip to France.
