What have you bought recently?

I purchased some car parts and the labor to install them, so I can buy the sticker required by law, to prove the vehicle had a yearly inspection.

A simple sticker should not cost so much! :LOL:
It is just a piece of paper with glue on the back. I could make one for less than the hundreds I am paying for this one, which does not look any more fancy! :ROFLMAO:

Perhaps if I had searched online, I could have found a prettier sticker for less money, a better bargain! ;)
 
I bought a whole new electric upgrade for my house today. New Fuse box and complete new wiring , new lighting , new carbon monoxide alarms upstairs and down, new fire-alarm, etc... and 4 hours of 2 Electricians labour!!
After they left we went grocery shopping ,££'s and also through the street market and I bought a little storage basket to hold some pens and peripherals on my desk... and we had lunch at the pub..Hubs paid!! :D
 
We buy mostly on-line. If FedEx/UPS/USPS doesn't drop off packages at least twice a week, we feel deprived, LOL.

However, we needed a new W/D so went into Best Buy and specified I wanted to talk about LG models with the most experienced sales rep they had. I had already researched what I wanted from CR as well as user reviews on various websites. They came and installed it 2 days later, so washday was on the weekend as it usually is, no interruption (thank goodness).

It was sad to see the old F&P go. The washer was very gentle on clothes and the LG is much rougher, comparatively speaking. But it does get them cleaner, and the capacity is MASSIVE. With no central agitator, we can finally fit our king-size blankets in. No more having to take them to a commercial laundry.

Not cheap but we got 14 yrs out of the old pair, so no biggie. The new LG washer is so big, it takes a double or even triple load of what the F&P could hold!
 
This afternoon around 1pm , I ordered a new Battery online for my Toshiba laptop, at 7pm the battery was delivered to my door.. (does it get quicker than that)?.. by 7.10pm the new battery was in my laptop, and with a 3/4 charge in it took just a few minutes to fully charge and already the laptop is up and running after only the slightest hiatus!!

This evening , I ordered some new dustbags for my Mielle Vac cleaner... , they'll be here in the morning !!

Actually, the sofa's have no damage....And one is the sofa bed that has a nice mattress....I hope someone really needs the furniture....
It is a hassle to try to sell furniture when some people might need furniture and can't afford....
 
Some places no longer allow/accept donations of beds, mattresses, or any furniture with soft cushions, such as sofas and chairs. Which is a shame. (Due to fears of health hazards)

In those situations, selling them at a low price, actually helps the items to end up with people who need them and cannot afford the store prices. Those who need them ,
can no longer find them at the places that used to have low priced used furniture available.
