What have you bought recently?

Today I bought some Gazpacho online because the nearest large bricks and mortar supermarket who sell it are a 30 mile round trip...

I also bought some self adhesive EVA foam sheets in various colours, for me to make some craft pictures to frame....

A Box of disposable Masks... this time in Pink, instead of the usual Blue or Black...

..also yesterday after we'd been to the recycle centre... we went shopping for groceries , and then to the large Discount store, and I got a shadow box frame , and a silver diamante/green parrot keyring, where I'll take the ring off, and it'll look like a brooch, and I'll mount it inside the box frame... and a whole new set of BPA free tupperware style containers..
 
Since several friends regularly come over for chess and Backgammon I decided that I need a better place for the board...
...bought one of these from Amazon yesterday.

I wanted the center of gravity down low to help avoid tippiness (thus the pregnant pedestal).

Enjoy!
 
Ozium is expensive but one or two quick spritzes does the job so these will last a long time. The nurses used to use the regular scented Ozium in clinic and I liked that but found out about the vanilla and like it much better. I had been buying the purse size (0.8 oz). I got them for half Amazon's price on Ebay. I got these last week from Amazon for what I believe is a good price. Four 3.5 oz for $25.99. Walmart's price is $33.37.

How about a report on something I acquired that I not only didn't purchase but wouldn't have to begin with. What I bought into was the idea of assembling an appliance and then testing it for one of the kids, who is busy with her own business. Well, assemble it I did and tossed the box, which was a very stupid move because the thing only lasted 24 hours before crapping the bed. After much fiddling, I was ready to toss (i.e., have the kid return) the appliance but was convinced to try to make the thing work by getting it fixed. That resulted in endless phone calls and emails plus several trips to the service center. Eventually, the firm, which was now on my sh*t list, finally sent another one for me to assemble.

Yup, it's that expensive humidifier and air filter. Assembly was quick and easy the second time around and it has now been running for over a month., The device connects to your WiFi and can be controlled by a small remote control, and/or a smartphone app. You can check your air quality and humidity down stairs while sitting in the WC upstairs. It keeps a record.

When I was reasonably satisfied the unit would continue working, youngest child said she had gotten something else, didn't want it and told me to keep it. This was the most aggravating thing I never purchased. The company did stand behind it. They should have for what it costs. Is it worth it? IMHO only if you love gadgets, have the money and/or need careful monitoring and control over humidity and the quality of your air. Does it work as advertised? Yes, when it is working and this second unit is.
