What have you bought recently?

@hollydolly, What do you mean by your favorite store having had the administrators called in? That turn of phrase is unfamiliar to me.

my favourite store is going into administration meaning that a licensed insolvency practitioner has been called in, effectively to close the store down usually, if it cant be saved...and it usually can't

We have lost dozens of stores in the last 6 months due to the pandemic lockdown

The same has been happening here. It's very sad to see. I should be getting a delivery today of a coat and jacket from one such store.

Thanks for the explanation. We call that "going into bankruptcy." As you said, most times when a store has reached that tipping point it can't be saved. I'm sorry about the likely loss of your favorite store.

No deliveries today, but DH & I are shopping for a new family room set up. New TV (a much smarter one), entertainment center, recliners and a new couch. Not sure how long it will take us to find and organize all that.
 
When I was at Walgreens yesterday was surprised to find disenfectant wipes containers on the shelves considering there is a shortage around the country.They aren't Clorox but next best thing. I bought one because the other container I bought 4 months ago is almost empty

we only call it ''bankruptcy'' when it actually happens... and the store isn't trading anymore.

we have no shortage of disinfectant wipes here... thank goodness , but I must admit, just in case we get into one I stocked up with 10 packets of 200 over several weeks
 
On Amazon Prime days, I ordered magnetic measuring spoons. Also Whoosh for cleaning the tech screens. New shoes & boots from the Bay. If they don’t fit, it’s easy to return them. The Bay has been a great department store that I fear won’t recoup from Covid pains.
 
I got woken up this morning by a delivery that wasn't supposed to come until tomorrow.. what's the point of stating a specific day for delivery with Prime if they don't stick to it?...anyway we've now got an electric over blanket a day early..

I ordered a new little space heater for the little bedroom I have my computer and desk in. My feet always get cold under the desk and my old space heater finally died. Almost as glamorous as StarSong's recent purchases.

I love my little space heater - it's perfect for early winter mornings when I'm on my computer.

I'm not at all excited about shopping for the furniture and TV set. My hubby is the driving force behind this. The only kind of shopping I've ever enjoyed is food shopping, jewelry shopping (;)), and a wander through Costco.

The rest either bores me to tears or is an outright chore.
