What have you bought recently?

Parchment paper muffin holders and wheat bran. I’ve been searching randomly for a few weeks without luck. Finally found a store with both. The wheat bran was in a new spot on the top shelf. The stocker said there’s no demand for the bran, because it has gluten.

It has definitely become much more difficult to find a store that carries wheat bran, and I didn't know the reason. Thank you for sharing that.
For some people, wheat bran is problematic;
however, for others, it's the things that works the best for them to maintain good functions.
Some people prefer rice bran or oatbran. They are both worth a try, too.

I love parchment paper. Hadn't seen the muffin shape. That's nice.:)

I need one of those! Looks lightweight.
Plug in? Gas?
 
Bought a new stove this AM; felt like a I got what I wanted at a good price.

HOWEVER, the trip to the pharmacy was a different story! While I wait for Medicare to kick in next month, I'm using a short-term insurance which my pharmacy doesn't take. THEREFORE, the med for which I normally pay 60.00 a month with insurance is $500.00 a month without!! Yikes. Needless to say, that stayed with the pharmacist til I can figure something else out.

Pleased you got a new stove.....I'm stunned at the £500 per month cost of your meds.. it's heartbreaking to know people have to pay such high sums when it's free here.. regardless of what medication it is.. if it was legal to send you medication I would..

That's sweet of you, @hollydolly It's probably one of those situations were there is ONE manufacturer of the name-brand med and there is no generic available, so they can charge whatever they want. Highway robbery

...and I now cook almost everything in the Air fryer and Microwave to keep the cost of using the stove to a minimum... . it's so hard , but with a bill of £391.. per month, it's a must...thanks for the suggestions Jules... 😊

HD...those look like the lanterns I bought (but haven't gotten the chance to use) a couple of years ago. They are packed away so not sure it's the same brand. One thing you can do that will help, if only a little is unplug things when you are not using them IF it's not too inconvenient to do so. I unplug my microwave and turn off the power strip that my NuWave oven and dryer are plugged into (when I can remember). Also when I used to go away, I'd unplug my T.V. Now, since we've streamlined what's plugged into the power strip, I'll just turn that off. Also, unplug any chargers not in use. All of those things pull "phantom power". The first year I started doing that, I saved $200.

Have you researched and learned all about Part D Medicare?
You likely will need to buy a stand-alone policy for Part D, and be sure to choose one that does have a comprehensive formulary, that includes Brand name meds.
Some do but most do not.
You can even check to see if your specific drug will be covered or not.

Unless you are choosing a Medicare Part C Advantage plan which includes a drug coverage, but still check then, about whether Brand names will be covered, and at what portion.
Check other SF sections, if you want to learn more about this, and Medicare.gov is a good source, too. :geek:
Don't get overwhelmed. Medicare and retirement are worth it!;):LOL::love:

Wow! Does it include any printed sections or words, if some bits are not legible?
