All of the Goya (and other "Hispanic section" in the grocery store) products; especially Goya Espresso and Cafe Bustelo for like $3 a can, so much more delicious than Maxwell House.

Generic Louisiana-style hot sauce.

Free weekly papers that actually have stuff worth reading in them, like the Chicago Reader and the Onion.

Ah now I'm adding to my collection slowly, to savour each.

In order:

1) TMR (fiver in Swindon MVC)
2) Safe as milk (fiver in fopp i think)
3) StrPers (fiver in uxbridge)
4) Spot/spot (fiver in ux)
5) Bat Chain ... Puller.. (fiver in Fopp rdg, Alice loves the title track btw)

(I did get merseytrout and the revenant box, but more than £5 so don't count)

Now, we're not trying to make this into another beefheart thread are we?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

Who? Me? No, no, no, no.

In fact I'm shocked and wounded that you could even suggest such a thing.

You really do still need Doc At The Radar Station as a matter of urgency 'though.
