What have you bought recently?

That's a very cute top, @hollydolly
Though it wouldn't look as cute on me as it does on her. :LOL:

And where I live, there might only be about one week out of the year, when it's warm enough to wear it. :ROFLMAO:

Oh yes, D3, thanks for reminding me! (y)
 

I bought some thermal socks. Not because my feet get cold very often but because my new knee high boots are slightly too big, so I need thicker socks...

I got some new ski socks to keep my feet warmer as the floor in my apt. gets very cold.
They fit well and are a lot warmer than my other socks however I still need to wear my slippers with them. I also got some new air fresheners (12 of them for a low price), anti-fog wipes for my glasses because the shaving cream gel I was using gets too messy for me.
 
My new iPad Pro 12.9 arrived a few days ago. The keyboard came a few days prior. It’s definitely heavier. That’s fine at home, not sure how I’ll feel when we can travel again. I bought it for my vision. It does help with some things. Having to read a wider screen is rather tiring. I’ll admit I’m addicted to Apple products.

Happy to hear you're happy with your iPad Pro 12.9.
Got mine about a month ago.......love it.
Didn't get a keyboard.......the one in the iPad is fine for me.
I find the screen and color is beautifully defined.

ENJOY your new iPad.

I always feel behind in the buying stuff thread cause I don’t buy much stuff. I think about buying stuff, then I think about my bills, and decide other than buying what is absolutely necessary I should not buy stuff other than groceries etc.

I am thinking about buying a puppy which would involve buying a lot of stuff. The exact mixed breed puppy I want to buy is for sale at a good price and close to me. If I knew I was getting the stimulus check, I would get it for sure. But no stimulus check, yet. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I am so indecisive. 😞

You're not behind at all, Aneeda, we're the same, we don't buy much either.

listen , when money was tight for me, and I really needed every penny when I was raising my daughter alone , and sometimes I'd look at things and wish I could afford them above all the basics, food, utilities and my daughters' school uniforms and books.. and before I parted with any money I would think..''would I die without it''..and if the answer was no I'd walk away from it...

When times were tough for me I did pretty much the same. I cooked everything from scratch and made each dollar do a dance before parting with it. The key for us was figuring out how to increase our income, which we did. Living expenses can only be pared so much.
 
Basically I only shop online unless it is for groceries. And some groceries I buy online. If I buy any item that is a luxury, I have budgeted for it. I think I spend more wisely shopping this way because I think about each purchase. I like this thread because it is fun seeing what others bought and sharing my purchases. When you live alone interacting is fun.

I ordered a box of produce from Misfits Market and it is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

it's not that we don't buy stuff monthly we just pay for it so there is no interest.

Me too Jules. I have the same IPad and love it. I read a lot and enlarge the type to make it easier to read.
