What have you bought recently?

Last September I bought three metres of silver/grey, heavy duty, cotton fabric, yesterday my sewing fairy finished turning that fabric into a magnificent pair of, vintage style, baggy trousers. Teamed up with my new blazer and a similar coloured hat they look fabulous, how I love them. Do you want a sneak peek?

I am surprised she would let you go out without her. Is that cane for beating off the flirting ladies?
 

Bought a new Shark pet duty vacuum, and a floor scrubber for the hardwood floors. Also got six different colors of One Shot pin stripping paint, along with some brushes that came with the five smaller paint cans, and three chemical duty spray bottles.

I'll be curious to hear how the Shark vacuum works. I have a furbaby who is a champion shedder....I vacuum at least twice a day.
 
@katlupe Have you used the carpet tape before. At the back door, I have heavy, fluffy rugs that don’t stay put. I tried some carpet patches but they don’t stick to the rug.
Oh yes. I ordered more because I can't remember where I put the other roll????? How did that happen? Yes, this carpet tape works really good.

My Dd has a Shark Pet Vaccuum.. she absolutely loves it, and she has 3 dogs.. yet you would never know that she had them because her floors and furniture are spotless . She keeps trying to get me to buy one but I have my Miele Cat & Dog Vac, which I've had for years... and altho' I don't have animals now, I do have long hair , and it's still working very well..
 
What haven't I bought is a better question. I didn't buy that 2nd laptop from either HP.com or Amazon, I have a nice working fully configured 17 inch HP that has finally reached the point I can't think of anymore things to do with it. I didn't buy that HD case to store with the other 2 I haven't unzipped in over a year. I found I have 6 completely empty 32GB flash drives and only one Linux .iso on my 2TB hard drive.

Saving myself a total of over $400 and was able to ignore all the hype for Black Friday & now Cyber Monday.
My cart is empty & nothing in transit. I expect a get well card from either USPS or UPS in the near future.

We give 'cash' for Xmas, right size & right color.

I play (very low stakes) poker twice a week at my retirement community. Two of the other participants are World War II veterans (who win a lot more that I do), one of whom is a master woodcrafter. So for Christmas presents, I bought two hand-made, beautiful wooden baby doll cradles for my youngest two granddaughters and a rugged, three-car train set for my grandson from the craftsman. (He donates the money that he gets for his work to charity.)

At the other end of the spectrum, I bought two Flip 6 Waterproof Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speakers for my oldest two granddaughters on Amazon. (No, I’m not exactly sure what they do :))
 
Do you buy much online?

Do you prefer to shop in the brick & mortar stores...?

Did you recently get a great bargain, or feel you've paid too much for something ?

Come and share what you've bought in either ....

Still waiting for half the order to arrive even tho' we paid for a specific date for delivery
I love shopping online, however, I do not like wanting to buy something at Wal Mart and find out you can only buy certain items online. That sounds a little backwards or whatever. I like it online, but not at Wal Mart. Well, I am used to getting certain things like right now plus it is local and easy to get, wrong. That is the problem. But, I will go back home and get it online and wait a few days and voila! I have it. I just deal with it and get it anyway. I wanted those fuzzy lined leggings, online.
