What have you bought recently?

I recently bought an iPhone to replace my Android. The real reason was so I could have "Wifi calling" (and texting) at home because there is no cell signal where I live, and my $60 Android wasn't capable of wifi calling (I do have a land line).

I had the Android a little over a year and it cost $60. The iPhone is a 6S and it cost $200. It is the first Apple product I've ever owned and I honestly don't see why everyone thinks it's superior -- IMO it is inferior to my $60 Android, aside from the wifi calling capability. I've been messing around with Windows computers for 27 years, and learning the Android was logical and straight-forward. Not so with the iPhone.

Once you get used to it you’ll love it.
 
I just bought some new winter pajamas from QVC online. They have sizes that fit me and the returns are easy but very seldom need to. As a bonus I opened a shopping ticket through ebates and got a little cash back. Ebates has another name now but I still use ebates and it takes me to it. Every now and then I get a little check from them. I order a lot online and make it a point to go through ebates first for the little money they send me. Its not much but adds up over time. I am going to order online anyway so I might as well make a little. If anyone would like to be referred, message me for the info. You also make money if you refer someone and they shop through them.
 
New underwear that I bought from JCP online 2 weeks ago and just received an e-mail that I should receive them on 10/31. That will be 3 weeks to get my underwear and they wonder why they’re going under.

I wish QVC would still deliver to Canada. That’s a great place to shop online.
 
Recently I bought an AC cover, plastic film for winterizing my big window, a beach towel, a shirt, leggins, dog leashes, dog jacket.

Just this morning I frittered away $34 on a wireless printer. SIL is off tomorrow so I'm going to ask him to install it for me, even though it says all I have to do is plug it in. Pfffft. If that's all I have to do, then how is it going to know when I want it to print something?

If there's something I want or need that's a hassle to buy in a brick & mortar store, and it's something that has independent reviews online I'll buy it online. There are some stores that I really like to go into just to browse and see if there's anything there with my name on it. There's one thing I can count on, though...if I have any money to spare, there's nothing I want. When there's something I really want and/or need, I'm broke! It must be part of Murphy's Law.

Hmm.
People can joke all day about Walmart, but their online shopping and delivery service is FANTASTIC. Seems as soon as I place an order bam! It's here. Never a problem. 👍

Actually, the sofa's have no damage....And one is the sofa bed that has a nice mattress....I hope someone really needs the furniture....
It is a hassle to try to sell furniture when some people might need furniture and can't afford....

I hope you have better luck than I've had. I bought my first wireless printer about 3 years ago. A friend got it for me, with coupons and discounts, it was only $30. Full price was around $60 as I recall. It is a Canon MG3500.

In all the years I've been monkeying with computers, printers seem to be the most trouble-prone part of it, but this wireless Canon is on a level all by itself. I've vowed to smash it about ten times already, but haven't yet.

When it's working, it works great and prints nice images. But from time to time it loses the wifi signal and it's ridiculous trying to get it tied in again. I've spent at least 2 hours monkeying with it lately, but no go.
