What have you bought recently?

"Retail therapy" has never done anything for me. Other than food, I'm not a shopper by nature.

Rather perverse considering for at least 35 years of my career a big part of my work included researching, pricing, contracting and purchasing many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of materials per year. (I still do, but since ratcheting down to semi-retirement those numbers have dropped to the $100K per year neighborhood.)

Except for replenishing necessities, I've bought very little lately for personal or household use. I'm getting ready for Christmas and a baby shower so I've ordered a couple of books for my grands, looking at some gifts for my kids, and some supplies for a hosting the shower.

I bought 4 green houseplants at Winco the other day. They were only $4.98 ea. I'm wanting to fill my house up w/more greenery so I've been asking my gfriends for cuttings from some of their plants.

Now, I'm looking for plant stands........Or something that resembles one. Trying to be creative too lol. ;)
 
Two Tony Bennett CDs and a navy blue peacoat. I need a coat if we go back home in November to visit and celebrate Lucy Jo's 4th birthday. I refuse to freeze my bum.

I sent 3 coats to my sister Lucy last year; they were too heavy for this weather. She loved the leather coat and a cream color wool jacket.
 
Been trying to get my dog's kind of food online and got the wrong one--for puppies--I'll have to check if it has the same exact ingredients. That's because her stomach gets upset if the food isn't the same. So I ordered more of her usual kind today for adults. I should have plenty of food for her in a few days. They sure have made doggie food pretty expensive now.
 
My old backpack leaf blower was having problems. I finally took it to the dealer, and they estimated over $150 to fix it....almost half the price of a new one. So, today, I bought a new Stihl BR350, and it's a real workhorse. With all our trees and the leaves starting to fall, I needed something good to keep from having a foot of leaves covering the entire house/yard.

The best part of the deal is that the new blower was "Free"....I spent part of what I won at the casino a few days ago.

My Vet wanted to prescribe food for my dog but said there was no guarantee it would help her allergies so I just get the Purina Proplan for her.
 
You know the little clip thingie that keeps your car's sun visor in place? I jerked the sun visor a little too hard, and it broke. So, instead of going to the dealer, I tracked it down on line. $24 later, it is being shipped to me.
