What have you bought recently?

[Pink Biz]

A new slow cooker. I hated giving up on my first and only one - a West Bend from the 1980's (!) - because they aren't produced any longer, but the nonstick coating was completely gone and it looked shabby as heck.

It's strange how one can become so attached to such a mundane item, but c'est la vie!

@Pink Biz
I understand exactly what you mean about getting attached.

Just bought some magnesium and B complex. I hope it helps my muscles and energy.
Also bought a pair of good scissors and 2 long night gowns and a long rose colored robe. And a new long winter coat and hat.

A tricycle for me. Wonder if I remember how to ride one. I haven't had one since I was 5 years old. Had to have the thing trucked in on an 18 wheeler. I live on a narrow lane without a turnaround. The poor trucker had to back up his rig for a half mile to the main road to get out.

a close neighbour of mine rides a tricycle, she's had it for about 20 years, and rides it most days. She's only in her 50's but she never could balance on a 2 wheeler so she's always had the tricycle, and she has a shopping basket on the front

Just bought a refrigerator for my granddaughter.

To answer your burning question, @Gardenlover ….
(back in your post #325 …. )

Because those truly are the more fun items to have, when you need them!

It's no fun having a bunch of great toys, if, you need those items you listed, and don't have them!

Here's the post I just referred to, above:

I bought a water heater, two toilets, and eight water shut-off valves.

Why can't I have fun stuff like all the other kids?

I went out this morning to get a haircut at Supercuts and stopped at the local Salvation Army thrift shop.

I found a pair of these little signed candlesticks from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Collection 1992 made in Germany for Tiffany & Co.

 

[tortiecat]

Nice buy, love them!

 

[hollydolly]

Nice Bea,..great find

I bought some sort of eye mask, called Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress, because it was recommended by the Opthamologist.

I buy nothing online. But my wife does especially if she sees something we don't need but is a bargain on the Amazon Deal of the Day.

Latest was a Hamilton Beach Roaster Pan capable of holding & roasting a 28lb. turkey. Haven't roasted anything yet but have made several flans in a 9x13 glass baking dish. The roaster oven works great as a bano de maria necessary for making flans.

 

[Rojo]

Hm. Well, I shop online as much as possible because I dislike going in stores. Also a big fan of grocery pickup services like WalM@rt has. Last thing I bought was a case of folding hand fans.

 

[Ruthanne]

Got 3 different new toys for my birdies. So far they loved one of them. I'm waiting for them to take to the next one that looks like a little whisk broom.The next one is a tiny pinata.

[Pappy]

Replenish my stylus pens I’ve used for years. These are great because the point can be changed. Amazon prime.

 

[Gardenlover]

Purty colors Pappy.

Groceries. I bpought groceries today.
Also, I bought myself a little gift from Amazon. These rats, celebrating the Year of the Rat. I actually had cash back rewards, so I used them, and basically paid nothing.

 

[hollydolly]

Today I bought a holder for my hair-dryer, hot brush, and straightening irons.. neat little item that will keep things altogether and can be mounted on the wall or inside a cupboard door...

An LED hand held magnifying glass... .

and a remote control / Ipad /kindle /tissue holder to put on the side table and keep everything in easy reach ...

 

[oldman]

Today, I broke down and bought myself a Pennsylvania Dutch style soft pretzel. I know this sounds like no big deal, but I make it a habit of not buying junk food to satisfy my desire to eat something that is considered as empty calories. Yes, I ate the whole thing with mustard on it and a Diet Coke to wash it down. Now comes the guilt.

[hollydolly]

don't feel guilty @oldman, you know the old adage about a little of what you fancy does you good...


..for me it's the opposite... little of what does me good is what I fancy...

 

[Gardenlover]

Here's a bottle I bought at a local art fair yesterday, which I'll use for a wine decanter.
It's a repurposed Kavana rum bottle.

 

[TravelinMan]

I just received an electric heated throw blanket. It sure makes these cold Missouri (missery?) evenings tolerable!

You mean like my trash can? Well, is IS stainless steel.
