What have you bought recently?

Most of the money I've spent this year so far has been on my house. I have about an acre of property that was in bad shape when I purchased this place and many of the trees were dead or dying. Last winter was especially cold and brutal so it was the death knoll for them. I hired an arborist to assess things then had to have many of the trees removed and the stumps ground. Much more expensive than I would have ever imagined or budgeted for. I also had a fence installed on part of the property. Again, way more than I thought it would be. I must be living in the 1950's when it comes to estimating what things will cost.
 

Splurged! Got my buddy Hemp a bath and his nails trimmed! He wasn't too upset...<g>... BTW, "Hemp" is a rescued Border Collie and named after "Old Hemp" who was the "Foundation Sire". First ever Border Collie. Not a reference to "weed".

My friend has a cat named "Doobie." It definitely IS a reference to weed. :D

I canceled my Amazon Prime membership and try not to shop on Amazon, at all. I did so because I now know firsthand how badly the overworked and underpaid employees (people) are treated and abused in order to fill and complete orders within 24 hours. Other large Corporate retailers have the same abusive business model, however, Amazon is the most high-profile of the current day wage-slave owners.

Really, I did not know that, they just or are just about to open one in Ottawa... Have a few friends who will or are working there, and they were talking how great it was... Maybe it's different in Canada then the USA... I am not sure, or maybe they've been unemployed for awhile.. and anything is good now... I dunno???:sneaky:
 
We bought a new 'over the stove' microwave. Ours went out a couple years ago and DIL bought us one that sits on a table. We have ruined many tv dinners in it. It had a hot spot on the bottom of everything we tried to cook. The good woman who cooks my meals said, 'Okay, enough is enough.'
She went to Lowes and bought a new one. I thnk the only thing wrong with the old 'over the stove' MW is the door was slammed one time too many.
I couldn't take it down and carry it in for repair, so replaced it.

Yet Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, is the world's richest person with a net worth of $158 billion. Coincidence? I think not!
 
My last purchase is a hose reel. I love gardening very much, but I started practicing my garden only this year, because I had enough free time for this. I noticed that now there are so many devices that are really able to facilitate the care of the garden. I started reading reviews on the Internet, for example, this article https://greatyardmaster.com/best-wall-mount-hose-reel/ with the help of which I chose the hose reel because I was tired that my hose was constantly tangled. I found on this portal a lot of useful tips for gardening. I like to take care of my garden, but I try not to spend a lot of money on it, since this isn't my only hobby.
 
Nothing , but I'm perusing new cars as we speak.. very frustrating, I just can't find the type of car I want in my price bracket... , as soon as I find something I like the reviews let it down.. irritating, I need to take a break!!
 
Yesterday I went out to purchase some all natural deodorant and was so impressed with this line of products I went back and purchased some body wash, shampoo & conditioner.

This line of products are made from the finest all natural ingredients and are made in small batches.

The quality is amazing. I’m so impressed.
They have ingredients that keep insects away but smell heavenly.
