What have you bought recently?

Two pairs of shoes arrived today. (I was really shocked that the mailman was delivering on a Sunday - now getting my days mixed up is a totally different story. 🙃). The one pair are rather like Crocs and will be ok for indoors in the hot weather. The other pair was too tight so I went online to order a half size up. Hit the wrong icon and ordered the wrong pair and there was no way to cancel. Oh well, they can send them. Then ordered the pair that I really wanted; they haven’t been confirmed yet.

I bought airline and cruise tickets to Alaska in early August with some friends and my partner and I bought tickets to see a concert (New Order/Pet Shop Boys) in Seattle in mid-October. We may soon be looking at a Canada/New England cruise in September and visiting our niece in Boston but I need to be careful of my retirement budget. ;)

I love all of the travel you do @dseag2. All of your trips sound wonderful. I booked two trips a few days ago, on in the fall and one next spring. But I have to keep an eye on my retirement budget, too.
 
Today I bought a hair cut.... :D

I bought an EGO string trimmer to go with my new EGO lawnmower. It doesn't seem to be boosting my ego, though. It's just draining my bank account.

Great choices! I've been using their string trimmer for several years. Suggestion: It's VERY powerful. I learned to wear a face mask & long sleeves when using it. It will send pebbles & twigs to your face.
 
Vitamin K...news item stated " helps prevent Alzheimer's...etc.
Took with other vitamins/supplements......
So, what could it hurt?....."an ounce of prevention...etc..?"
 
Today one of the two pairs of shoes I ordered arrived. They’ll likely go back because I think I want the other pair more. Also two pairs of khaki jeans arrived. One pair fits well, the other a little snug. They say to get ones that are a size smaller. If they weren’t so pricey and were blue jeans I’d be willing to keep both. I hate jeans that are too tight and I also hate jeans that loosen up with wear.

The other day I stopped in the thrift store and bought a fancy ball cap, a skirt and two shirts. All this for a grand total of $14. It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than my shoe and jeans purchases.
 
The other day I bought a King Size Sunbeam electric heating pad, the only one in stock. Didn’t notice the size until I opened the box and decided it was too awkward. Returned that one and got a regular size one at another store. There’s a real shortage of them.

Does anyone lie on the heating pad or take it to bed? I turn it on in the middle of the night, if needed.

I have my heated mattress pad that I use every night.
It really helps me sleep.
 
I bought socks. I have a lot, but my feet have become sensitive to the seams. I was wearing them inside out because of it.
I heard about Feetures socks. A little pricey, so I bought one pair to try. They are wonderful. I ordered 5 more pair, they are arriving today. YAY!
