What Didn't You Buy?

I was tempted to buy the Dash ice cream maker. There was one for $19.99 and another for $29.99 on Amazon. After watching several videos with varying results and seeing that it takes 30 minutes to complete the process, I decided against it. I can make sugar free frozen yogurt (a good sub for ice cream) and sorbet within 5 minutes using my Magic Bullet. The fact that the Dash is not dishwasher safe solidified my decision. It's a cute little thing though.

Not recently. But because our 10 day Carribean cruise was a test our interest in taking a world cruise. We tried to like the cruise but just couldn't.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your cruise Knight. That's too much $$$$ to spend on something you didn't like!

A coffeemaker.

I switched to Cafe Bustello instant espresso from the folks at Smucker’s with good results.

A small step towards seeking the minimum and simplifying my life.

My son collected several of them but I never bought a fidget spinner. I'd rather jiggle my house keys, a rosary, or the 'worry beads' I bought in El Oued.

I asked my daughter what a fidget spinner was back when they were all the rage, she showed me. I didn't know her Grandma got her one.

Sneaky grandma trying to win points behind your back.

Knight, every once in a while, I think a cruise might be cool. Why didn't you like your cruise?

The port calls were pretty short. Mostly had only time to do the tourist shop thing. We would have liked time to tour. Then there was meal time. Seated with people we didn't relate to, table conversation not very pleasant. The bed wasn't very comfortable. The surprise of envelopes with suggested % for tipping just about everyone except the ships captain. Example as I remember the tip for the cabin steward was pegged at $150.00. Only good thing was my wife won a black jack tournament. That cash win helped some to fill the tip envelopes.

What we did enjoy on our bucket list was a 2 1/2 month road trip around America. Stopping sometimes for 3 or 4 days to check out local sights of interest.

I was tempted to buy a million dollar Ferrari but I can only afford the tax.

I've been boycotting so I haven't been buying anything other than groceries. I need a new yoga mat and will have to get one soon. Everything else is going to wait.

I think it’s great that you are being mindful of your choices and how you spend your money but boycotting seems like it would have more impact on your life than the companies involved.

I have the inverse situation. Let's pool our cash!
