What have you bought recently?

This morning I went to the flea market.

I bought a three pound bag of onions for $2.00 and a pair of signed Stuart Crystal Aragon pattern wine glasses for $0.50.

That says a lot about the value of stuff!

I replaced my old Uniden cordless home phone with another Uniden new model. It doesn't seem to have a voice mail feature, but that's okay, we never set one up on our old landline anyway. Also bought online a down comforter, that will arrive early this week.
 

Love my down comforters! ^^^ .. have winter and summer versions

I bought my doggie a HuggiePup for his Christmas present ... They make them for training puppies, but I thought maybe an older dog might enjoy one too. Will see.
It comes with a pulsing heartbeat unit inside, that runs on batteries, and a heat pad that warms in the microwave.
 
A pack of three heavy duty socks. My feet and hands freeze on our daily walks. Hope they aren’t too thick for my boots.

Also a new pair of mitts for my walks too. They’re not too thick. I may go back and buy a heavy pair in the children’s section - same brand, less money.
 
I haven't gone to a restaurant in over a year and I haven't gone to a mall. Maybe some groceries but that's not very exciting! This pandemic has made me look at my life differently. No reason to buy anything else at my age. I have been giving things away for the last 5 years. To me, less is more! You can't take it with you when you go; no matter how hard you try!

A helluva lot of food for tomorrow's dinner!

And three pair of Gold Toe socks because I had $10 Kohl's cash to spend. Had to pay the tax outta my own pocket:mad:

I spent some time at Kohl's yesterday too, spending my 15% off.

I bought a watch on sale, it was cheaper buying the watch, then buying a new battery for my old watch. Not sure if I will keep it tho, since I couldn't try it on. Now, I can.

Also bought a pair of tennies, and a pair of blk leggings.

Went to Winco for a few things and the place was packed! Hard to find a place to park.
Plus, Winco shares the lot w/Costco.....so it was crazy around there.

As for restaurants, I stopped getting food poisoning since I stopped going to them.
I really miss the 3 days of fever, vomiting & diarrhea. :ROFLMAO:
 
My bedside rug is a beige and red design thick pile rug, and it is a devil for catching all the hair and fluff, and hard to clean, so after several years of this, I've chucked it out, and I ordered a low pile rug in completely off the wall colours to brighten up my room, and just enjoy for a while..

Also I bought some Hair tamer... which for anyone who doesn't know is like a clear mascara to tame all those straggly ends of hair that escape when we ladies put our hair up in a pony ...

Today I picked up the heavier weight mittens for kids. Price is lower than for adults and only 7% tax instead of 12%. I consider that as getting two bargains.

I’ve been to the grocery store two days in a row. Laid out my ingredients for muffins and realized I don’t have wheat germ. Another trip coming up this afternoon. Good thing I actually like grocery shopping if the store is quiet.
 
I've been cruising the thrift stores for holiday decor items since we didn't have christmas growing up. Made some nice cheap scores including deer items and animal theme ornaments I just put on the wall.

I have wanted to do some holiday dioramas but I doubt I'll get them done this year. I can work on them all year and got cards and other items to use. I was really glad to find these little trees still in the box. They were two dollars. What also got my attention was they were from the Bon Marche department stores, now defunct I believe. Box says 1994, original price 4.50. Made In China.

Love the eye-popping colors! That'll sure brighten up your room!
 
Went to Sam's earlier to look for a Christmas wreath that was advertised and they were sold out. Bought $62.00 worth of toilet paper. Yay!!! :LOL:

Bought several ponsettas to give to a few friends/neighbors and one for us. Smaller ones were $4.87. That was at Home Depot.

Went to Ross and bought my g-nieces a set of mittens, muffler and a cap.
