What have you bought recently?

[Jules]

Every time I go to the Dollar Store to search for the little spray bottles I didn’t buy a month ago, I end up with other things. Another pair of readers, two boxes of pudding - lemon and pistachio. I’d given up on finding lemon so may have thrown out the recipe I was going to use it in.

 

[RadishRose]

Just groceries.

 

[JustBonee]

Got some new Easy Spirit walking shoes (Mules) for the Fall in a natural beige color.
My white Skechers, also Mule style, will rest until next Spring.

 

[Pink Biz]

A scale.

I bought a new cordless stick Vacuum cleaner . Not a big name like Dyson or Shark, so nowhere nearly as expensive, but still got great reviews.

not opened the box yet....

I need it for the stairs and upstairs because my fabulous pick up anything corded Miele is just getting to be too heavy to try and use particularly on the stairs.

Holly, I am in the market for a stick vac for the area rugs, let us know if it does the job well. Can't see the make, please tell.

 

[Knight]

1200 lbs. of concrete mix. for my latest project. 20--60 lb. sacks of high strength mix should do it if my calculations are right. Not going to mix all of it at one time.

 

[RadishRose]

I love my stick vac. It's not cordless though and I'm not even sure what brand it is because my grandson bought it for me. It's great for the stairs and my tiled entryway and small kitchen; better than sweeping dust around.

I've ordered a small fall wreath for my kitchen window
and a favorite large candle to replace the one that's running out of wax. Well actually, it may be soy not wax.

Well, the last thing I bought was a box of little containers of "fa*t putty", which I bought for a quarter at a garage sale this morning. It was a huge hit with the little girls, who have a great appreciation for potty humor. You poke your finger into the goo and it produces ....um.....body sounds. They were thoroughly delighted.

 

[Lee]

Just got back from the Dollarama. Disappointment reigns.....they are moving to a new location and a lot of stuff was in boxes.
geez, they should have given us some warning.

But I did buy some candy to soothe my pain. Nice of them to leave that unpacked.

I will let you know Lee, once I get it assembled and tested. It's literally a Generic brand...look here..

Lee, I've tried the vac out this morning, just for 5 minutes, it's on charge now.... have a look here where I wrote about it. ...

That sounds medicinal. Did you require a script for it?

I bought a 10 inch battery powered chainsaw. I haven't had the gumption to try to use it yet, it has so many scary warnings, plus it turns out that the little oil tank will leak out within 40 minutes and probably splatter on me. So I feel now like I need to prepare a plan of where I want to trim. It also says to practice using sawhorses first. I know where one sawhorse is, not sure where a second one is, but I did find and secure a small downed tree branch to practice on. Also the booklet warns that saplings are particularly dangerous - and that is exactly what I want to use the chainsaw for. I hope I screw up my courage enough to go out and try it today.

Be verrrry careful..... these things are particularly dangerous when cutting twigs and saplings.. don't take your eye off the ball for even a second, and remember to wear protective eye covering...

Well my new stick vac took 3 hours to charge, I hope that's not going to be the case every time...

 

[Butterfly]

Just groceries.

Me, too.

 

[Jules]

Me, too.

It’s pretty boring, isn’t it?

 

[mrstime]

Well I guess you would say we bought a young fellows work. We hired a company to do our windows that sorely needed the cleaning. The young man did an excellent job and we love our clean windows.

As long as you can complete your vacuuming on a single charge it won't matter if a full recharge takes a few hours, right? Hoping that's how it goes.

 

[Jules]

A case for my iPhone. It arrived from Amazon today. The most exciting part was watching Track Delivery.

 

[mike4lorie]

Bought some plumbing stuff to reroute the drain for the washer, which is done now...

 

[Ken N Tx]

Senior TVRemote for MIL...Amazon came next day..

 

[Pappy]

Bought my wife a kindle and a nice case to carry it in. I bought an under the counter bottle top opener.

 

[katlupe]

I have been shopping! An air fryer lid for my Instant Pot. Oat hay, Swiss Miss hot cocoa (box of 30), Pure vanilla extract, Chocolate Keto granola, almond mix concentrate, kitchen towel and dish cloths set and the mop StarSong recommended.
