What have you bought recently?

If they don't get you one way, they'll get you another way. For instance, I was going to purchase vitamins this morning .. figured, if I ordered 2 or 3, there wouldn't be a delivery charge. They worked it so that they would arrive individually on different days - and, of course there would be a delivery charge for each.

I will purchase them from the Pharmacy this time around.

i purchased the Prime Membership...they deliver for free within a day or two...maybe I should pay as I go and that would bring down my purchases or maybe yet a parental control on Amazon site :ROFLMAO:

I haven't bought one, but I see them advertised at the bottom of my internet page. Weird.
They always catch my eye, there's a few diff sayings.

ETA: I just went to their website, and they're offering 50% off your first order???? Wow

And,,,,,I'm about 3 days late to the party. :oops:

I was looking to stock up again on Plackers — kind of teeth picks with a bit of floss.

Unfortunately, Amazon and Walmart are now selling these combined with the mint version (hate those).

Before, Amazon was selling for about $5.30USD for two 60-piece bags. After hearing Dollar Tree discussed, I went there to search. Yes, they had the ones I wanted, but you had to get at minimum a whole case of 24 packages at $1 apiece — so it came to only $37.50 ($24 plus shipping and handling).

Of course, I'll have to move out to make room for them. LOL

I know. Thrilling. 😁

Oh no!
I , too, get them at the Dollar store. Just the one pack for a $1.
I never have to buy a whole case.

I ordered a glass pitcher for my iced tea, except what arrived is a carafe. I thought I ordered a 2-litre pitcher but when I looked back at the website it was indeed a 1-litre carafe. I was so POed at myself. And the stupid thing is over-priced, too. But I didn't want the hassle of returning it or exchanging it, and didn't want to toss it, so I just sat in my recliner and grumbled about it for a couple hours.

Then Michelle brought me a tall glass of ice and a carafe of tea. **>> 💡<<**
Saves me like 3 or 4 trips to the fridge for refills. Worth every penny.

(Yeah, I drink a lot of iced tea)

I drink a lot of iced tea too. I have a little pink container w/a spout I bought at the $ store.
I'm always having to refill my glass or make a new batch of tea.

But, what a 'brilliant ' idea to use the carafe that way! Smart lady.

not one of the stores you mentioned I have heard of in Canada....
 
Just got back from grocery shopping. Expecting a big storm Friday night and all day Sat.

Bought some cod for tonight with rice and Brussels sprouts. Got a chunk of bottom round roast intending to cube, brown and make vegetable beef soup tomorrow.

Both Adli's and Stop and Shop weren't very busy, but both very low on items.

I heard pasta is getting scarce. Stop and Shop had Barilla pasta on sale, 2 for 3.00! What the hell kind of sale is that!? Other brands that were left were all 1.99 a 16oz box. I bought 5 boxes of various types, plus 2 lbs. acini de pepe for soups.

I'm with you. To me a pasta sale means $1.00/lb or less. My Aldi just this week started carrying a wide assortment of pastas at less than $1.00/lb so I grabbed some.

For some reason, I bought this at Walmart yesterday. I will probably use it less than a dozen times and end up giving it to someone. Or, I may return it.

I also bought each of my 2 grandsons a thermal Henley shirt on sale.

I bought an air fryer. It arrived today in a beat up box and with a broken handle. Amazon is shipping me a new one, which should be here on the 26th. It's for situations like this that I like buying stuff through Amazon. Exchanges and returns are easy. :)

I don't know how to fry air, though my son insists that I once burned water! Lol
 
My air fryer arrived this evening. The instructions said to run it for 10 minutes at full power to burn off any oil left on during manufacturing. Just for the hell of it, I stuck an oven thermometer in there to see how hot it would get. It made it up to 475° in only about six minutes. That's pretty hot for a little counter-top oven.

Like the reviews said, the outside gets really hot, so you can't store anything safely within a few inches of it except for maybe a cast iron frying pan. That's okay.

I've never air-fried before, either, but it doesn't seem overly complicated. The real question is, will it make good French fries and oven-fried chicken... that is, will it be as good as what comes out of a frying pan on the stove?

Let's see... tomorrow I'm making a stew in the slow cooker. Friday I'll try air-frying something. I do have a turkey breast in the freezer. That seems like a good test meat, although I might just cook it on the 'bake' setting to see how that goes.
 
Y'all buy interesting stuff. Me?

I ordered HotHands from Amazon except the ones for feet. They're still called HotHands. Don't ask me why...they should be called HotFeet, right? I put them in my work shoes because the floors at work are so cold that my feet get numb. They work great and are still very warm when I get home and take the work shoes off. They're supposed to last "up to" 8 hours but last about 10 so when I take my shoes off at home have to let them cool down before throwing them in the trash.

I was introduced to HotHands when we lived Up North. Used them in my gloves when shoveling or blowing sNOw and only learned this year that there's a version for inserting in shoes/boots. The ones for feet have been a godsend. When my feet get cold, I'm cold all over.

Just for once, I'd like to buy something positively frivolous.
