What have you bought recently?

It was a lovely night so we walked to the store and bought ice cream cones, waffle style. In the afternoon I went to a thrift store and bought a different paper napkin holder and 2 white Correlle side plates. DIL asked me to pick up any I find. They’re more scarce than hen’s teeth.
 
I have just bought a little appliance for cooking eggs. I'm delighted with it. I enjoy eggs but my cooker is so slow that it takes ages to boil and poach on it.
This is one of those rare occasions when an advertisement prompted me to buy something. The egg cooker popped up on a promotional ad and caught my eye. The reviews were good so I decided to buy one. It cooks eggs perfectly and in just a few minutes.
 

I bought a can of sardines and a can of salmon. Both are brands approved by Consumer Labs after they had been tested for mercury, arsenic, lead, and cadmium.

I don't like fish. But I read a lot of articles on how important fish oil is, and decided to try these. They are sitting on my pantry shelves waiting for me to get up the gumption. I've had them for less than 24 hours.

No I don't have the space to keep 2 especially one that needs all the fixings.. and no charity here will take it if they can't test it first..same with all Electrical items they must be able to be PAT tested.. I'll hold onto it in case they send me a ntice in the near future that they wish it returned.. but if they don't , I'm not sure what I'll do with it..

Ask them to send you the screws to fix it. That shouldn't be difficult for them to do. Unless they are dropshippers.

too late, they already refunded me , now I don't know what to do with the one they sent me, because no-one wan't a leaf blower that doesn't have the fixings. if it was a matter of a few screws I could fix it myself, I have every type of screw in the barn, but it's not

I was at our grocery store at 6 a.m. sharp! Determined to get bottled water and a few other items. People are wild again buying out the stores. I was furious.

And $65 bought a few items. Oh well, i guess we can do with losing some weight. 😊

You're seeing panic buying? Why do you suppose that's happening, and are any particular items being hoarded?

When I went to Costco last Thursday it was plenty busy, but about standard for just prior to a holiday weekend. Shopping carts didn't look remotely like March 2020, nor did shoppers have that frenzied look in their eyes. Their carts weren't loaded, and they didn't seem to be stocking up on staples, TP, PT or water. Plenty of beer, wine, chips, burgers, ribs, hot dogs, buns, and the like.

I did notice most carts had eggs in them, probably because at Costco they broke down to about $2.50/doz, a good price right now.

I heard something on the news that made me think people might start this again. I sure hope not. I went to the farmer's market yesterday. Lots of food there.
 
I spent too much money yesterday. I went to the farmer's market. Got produce. Also bought a repurposed metal rusty cat, he's on my patio. The older gentleman who sells those items is really sweet.

Then I went to the thrift stores. I was tired after working the day before and I find it's not good to be home because I'll just want to take a nap. (excuse to go thrifting) I bought too much. Books, buttons, earrings, a stuffed bunny, a small enclosed cabinet, a wooden thingy I can cover for a diorama, coffee mug, one clothing item.
 
Just got a great deal on my third matching 'baby gate' to control my dog's access around the house as needed. I found it on EBAY, listed as new but having a 'flaw.' This saved me $30 - and the flaw isn't at all noticeable once I installed it! I love these gates - they actually add a touch of class to the place, instead of looking like typical gates. But, you HAVE to read the installation instructions - and a rubber mallet helps a lot, too!

That's very sweet of you. I haven't started any and I don't know how they will turn out but I purchased Christmas cards at the thrift stores last year and have some little trees. Need to find some deer. I'm afraid they won't be worth posting but I'm going to try.

That one is a beauty. I have a couple of gates I use to keep my dogs corraled to the back of the house. I use them to keep the dogs away from the front door. Don't want them to take a runner when I open the front door. I have one portable that I use to block them in a bedroom if I have to have a plumber or another worker here.
 
We are off to Poole Goes Vintage the coming weekend. These new shoes arrived some time ago, as yet I haven't worn them but I intend to wear them at the weekend.

They are actually bottle green and cream. My phone camera isn't all that good.
Today I wore them to work just to be sure that they are a good fit. As ever, they
are. Wearing green shoes means I had to go green. Robin Hood, eat your heart
out. (He wore Lincoln green.)

Have bought so many different styles of baby gates for my dogs over the years! ..... at this point in time, most have been given away.
Have a white free standing one that I use in my bedroom as a decoration more or less.
My doggy thinks it helps to split 'his area' of the room from mine. :)
