What have you bought recently?

Gas for my Tahoe @$2.57 per gallon, propane for home heating @$2.87 per gallon and shots & neutering for my kitten, Gizmo, this morning.

This might not sound like a big deal, but I was very happy to finally find a small loaf of white bread. Previously, all I've seen were large loaves, so I never bought any because I couldn't use that much before they'd become stale. So now I can make a couple of dishes that need white bread. :)

I freeze bread and take out as many slices as I might need each day
 
Yesterday at a Nob Hill supermarket bought:
Southwest Chopped Salad Kit
gallon of whole milk
2 boxes of Boston Baked Beans candies
6oz square of white cake
6.3oz aged Gouda Cheese

Bought 8 DVDs of my favorite movies. Got tired of waiting for them to be shown on TV. 2 came damaged so I'll have to reorder them and one is coming from England. I guess that will take awhile to clear customs!
 
I bought a lot today..aside from the groceries...

I haven't bought anything since well before Christmas and the sales are on now, which I'd forgotten completely about and just by sheer chance I wandered into a Big Box clothing store... and everything was slashed in price..., I mean seriously reduced...

I had a ball... everything had been reduced by at least 50 % if not more...

2 Jumpers ( sweaters)...
1. Long V neck sweater tunic top
Petite slim leg jeans with turn-ups... ( 60's style)
1 pairs of pink and white trainers ( sneakers) £5 per pair.....
1pair of 2 tone beige trainers with contrasting fur edging
A pair of Black suede heeled ankle boots
A gold effect necklace ( costume jewellery...)
A fake Heather plant within a wooden planter

total.. just £80.... ..

Also ..this afternoon...I ordered...online...

2 white faux leather desk letter holders
I green lidded storage box to match the 3 that I already have ( in the sale for a massively reduced £2..and change)
5 packs of spring flowers seeds...
2 x USB flash Drives 64GB...
..and a 2 TB One touch Portable External Hardrive .. as back up to my other 2 older ones...

That's a funny story. I hope you had some fun with the experience, even though you couldn't wear the coat that way!😁

You amaze me!!! I can't bring myself to buy for myself; only the necessities. I returned something that hubby bought me ... yesterday; too expensive for me. Crazy, huh? Well, perhaps I am. I have all I need or want. As I've stated before, I add one 'Christmas tree' ornament / decor item ~ each year. I need to add on to our home to store this stuff.

How I empathise with you, Pam. At Christmas I will buy my wife her favourite fragrances and maybe cosmetics if she's running low. Then something to add to her cabin where she makes our clothes and finally, I give her money, as in cash.

Giving cash is all but demonised in my country. It's vulgar, insensitive and lacks commitment. Really? Have you ever seen a wad of cash returned or put in the window of a charity shop? The way I do it is to make sure the bank notes are all new, present them in a card designed to hold the money, and add a loving message. My wife agrees, like you Pam, she feels she has all that she needs or wants. But if at sometime through the year she ever wants to spoil herself with some indulgence, she can.
