I don't shop anymore. Just buy bread & milk at a small local store. For months I have been keeping away from the awful city, keeping away from restaurants, keeping away from stores. I don't even shop Amazon since I have over 40 DVDs to watch. My problem is what am I going to do with the money in the bank since I stopped traveling, stopped shopping & cut down on almost everything?

Maybe send me a new dishwasher? Mine broke down, finally.

Jules....I just checked Amazon. They have it if it’s the type you want.

Part of the issue is that I’m in Canada. They seemed to have slowed down anything from Japan. It’s ordered so I’ll keep waiting. It should be here by the end of November.

Editing. When I ordered from a different supplier earlier this year, he sent a personal note that said Japan to Canada was the delay because of Covid restrictions. It was the Japanese side that was the slowdown. He was so pleasant, but now he has quit as a seller on Amazon Canada.

Savoy cabbage plants (for my dad) and broccoli for me. Unfortunately my broccoli seedlings I planted several months ago didn't do so well. But it was my first year to try them for a fall garden so I learned from it.

A picnic basket for my niece's graduation gift. I'll probably give it to her in March instead of May at graduation so she can enjoy it early. I got a basic one without accessories as a graduation gift and it has been my favorite gift through the years.

I haven't been out for a couple of weeks and have not ordered anything on-line. I'm bored to tears being at home. Usually by this time, I am doing the Christmas shopping for the little ones in the family. I guess I will order from Amazon and have it delivered to those two little ones. I miss them so much.

Stay safe, everyone.
 
Cat Crap.

That’s right, you didn’t read it wrong. LOL. I thought I was misreading it on the shelf.

It’s a spray on product to prevent your glasses from fogging when wearing a mask.

The story behind the name
Cat Crap was named for the Caterpillar equipment used to haul skiers and boarders up to the tops of mountains that have no lifts.” “These are some of the hard-core slopes, for some of the hard core snow bums.

@Treacle I love those. Are they sturdy enough to hold a staghorn fern?

Got stands and they accommodate air plants but I feel the stands would not be sturdy enough for anything heavier @gennie. On Amazon I put in stands for ferns and there might be something 'different' there that may or may not be of interest to you. There are some interesting geometric shapes and a few glass holders. ☺
 
I stopped Amazon Prime last year. There were three separate occasions that they wouldn't honor a price because it was 'posted in error', after shipping me the wrong item or simply not shipping. I told them I was going to pay them $120 a year for the privilege of getting screwed repeatedly. I still buy a few things there, you just have to wait a few days longer for shipping.

I recently bought running boards, an under seat storage unit, and mud flaps for my new truck, all of which were available for less $ directly from the manufacturer's respective websites, all with free shipping, and all arrived in a few days. If you don't mind doing some online shopping you can do pretty well. I try and buy locally, but only if it makes sense for me and my wallet.

Thanks. I hope you like your new stands and air plants are happy in their new homes.
 
Got a new tablet at Walmart. RCA 7 inch.
On sale at 50 dollars. Regular 79.
It's really good except that the battery has to be charged regularly.
I have it hooked to a wireless Bluetooth speaker and I play all kinds of music.
I like Crossword puzzles. This one has a dandy that you can play offline. So it's portable and I take it on the bus.
 
Made a thrilling online purchase at Walmart.com. New hoses and weights for the pool's creepy crawly vacuum system. Pretty glamorous shopping going on here these days. 🤪😜 (On another thread I mentioned falling in the pool a few days ago - I lost my balance while trying to sort out the vacuum system. Fortunately the pool was warm.)

The braces we buy nowadays are rubbish, perhaps one of these will keep my trousers up. 😊

@Ferocious Did Charlie Chaplain (The Tramp) hold his trousers up with string? - Just a thought. Where there's a will there's a way and it would be less expensive!!!! :giggle::giggle::giggle:

On a serious note have to agree but I would say that the quality of most goods nowadays are not up to scratch. Had a cooker for over 30 years, worked a treat and then one day it gave up. Bought a new cooker, oven went in 2 years. On the bright side the hot plates and grill are still working so just got a portable oven for the time being. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I fell in love with the Himalayan salt crystal lamps the first time I saw one. They were on sale at a local store and I couldn't resist any longer. I love it and want to get some more.
