Going to a bakeryÀ la boulangerie
Aujourd'hui, je suis alleée aà la boulangerie.
J'ai eupris/acheté un croissant.
"avoir" implies you don't have the choice, that you're offered something, so it sounds off in contexts where you do pick/order your food. French kids often ask "qu'est-ce qu'on A à la cantine à midi?", for instance
J'ai mangeé le croissant.
Or "je L'ai mangé", to avoid repetitions
Le croissant a eteétait treès bon.
I'd naturally use an imparfait here, since you focus on a background description => était
J'ai ete contenteété/J'étais satisfait(e) et treès heureux [heureuse ?].
Same thing here: although "ai été" isn't wrong, "étais" would be better
"content" in modern French rather means "glad" or "merry", as it's quite old-fashioned in the English sense. Today we'd rather say "satisfait"
If you're a female => satisfaitE, heureuSE
