What have you bought recently?

@hollydolly I love that! It's possible that I could part with $$ to get one. Stay tuned.

get a size bigger than you would normally take... they are roomy..but if you normally take small get a medium... but do shop around.

@hollydolly They're a tad spendy on the two sites I visited. I normally wear a size miniscule so would a small do it?

yes ... they are quite roomy but I wanted to ensure the one I got had enough room for clothes underneath.

I paid just £15 for mine in the store reduced from £25... and I've seen the same one online for £99 so be careful..

I would only wear it at home. I'll check more sites for prices. Some that I looked at were $100 or more.

What are those made of? It looked like the poly fleece stuff that goes up like flash paper.

yes of course only at home.....

flannel ( although mine is velvet) on the outside and Sherpa fleece on the inside.... but with any clothing you wouldn't stand next to an open flame with them on

Another pair of over-glasses by Sun Shields. Not quite as ugly as my usual pair. A beret style hat - not sure I like it but the weather isn’t co-operating with keeping me warm. Those two items added up quickly.

 

[StarSong]

Most of my purchases are to replenish household supplies as they get used up. We're expected to have a warm and possibly wet winter, so my existing clothes, shoes and boots should suffice. Probably won't need anything warmer.

Placed a $235 Chewy order for my cats tonight.

 

[Georgiagranny]

I know y'all are waiting with bated breath. Didn't spend any money again today. My shopping gene must have atrophied or something, and the only way to get it going again is with exercise.

After reading a discussion about Clinique Honey Black lipstick, I went to add it to my possible makeup purchases. It was already on the list so I decided to go buy it.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Didn't spend any actual cash but used part of my gift card to get garden maintenance stuff and some daffodil bulbs. Kroger was out of the $1.89/lb turkey breasts so we went to Publix. They didn't have any turkey breasts at any price, but DD wanted to get some BOGO root beer (a fave of DSIL) and I still wanted to get some cash so I paid for the rootbeer and "bought" some cash. There's nothing I want/need to do with cash, just don't like not having any real money on hand.

That was our exciting morning. DD wanted to rush home so she can clean downstairs. What? Who rushes home to clean?

 

[Georgiagranny]

I can't say I rushed home to clean like DD and can't even say I cleaned, but I did vacuum. Should I pay myself? If I do, does that count for spending money?

 

[Georgiagranny]

Welp. We knew it would happen sooner or later. I spent $6 on a bottle of brandy for the cranberries. Provided I only use it for cranberries once a year, there should be enough for the next five years!

For $17 at amazon bought and just received a navy blue small size 9M Mens Ultra Soft Thermal Shirt - Compression Baselayer Crew Neck Top - Fleece Lined Long Sleeve Underwear. 92% polyester fleece and 8% spandex. Has a nice smooth feel and fits me snugly but not in a limiting way. Also will work nicely as a base layer for skiing. And finally, will be kind of nice as part of maybe a form showing clothing outfit for this fit guy.

So now that I know, just ordered 2 more, in the gray and white colors that was just below the new minimum amazon free shipping total. So added a 69 ounce Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate box for $8 that has 50 each 1.38 ounce packets. Cheapest weight per ounce source of sweetened chocolate one can buy. I eat the dry powder because it is intensely chocolaty and sweet.

I do that occasionally... I'll pick up some cash from the Bank just to have it in case I need it in an emergency for something..or maybe have to pay a contractor in cash,.

Cash is king as far as my purchases go. Cash is anonymous, nobody like, retailers, credit/debit card companies or banks, can amass a profile of my spending. What I find so Orwellian about those profiles is that they have become big business. Have you noticed how the big company supermarkets sell discounted items and multiple offers, but only with their loyalty card. That's because cash buyers are avoiding their profiles.
A profile of our spending habits can be copied, is copied and sold. Other profiles are bought and added to our existing profile, and so it goes on. In fact cash has all but become a dirty word.

HC...no that's not true with regard the supermarkets and the discounted items.. the items are discounted to you if you have a store card..not if you're paying only cash.. .The store card is free but of course it comes with the knowledge that your sending habits are tracked... you can pay cash and get all the discounts if you have a store card.

That's what I was trying to say Holly, but re-reading my post I can see my ambiguity. How I hate this getting old malarkey, the old brain just doesn't compute the way it used to.

I've done that but stopped after choking on some inhaled cocoa powder. You might want to add a little water to create a thick slurry that won't get into your lungs.

I don't have store cards anymore. If I shop somewhere that DD or a DS frequents, I use their phone #s. They get the loyalty points, I get the discount, and the trackers get confused. Win-win-win.
