What have you bought recently?

Jeggings ...and so comfy...first time I have worn these
Like joggers but in denim......
Lovely to lounge about at home in...
 

Today I bought a new frying pan... a new Cutlery drawer tray , and an Arched imitation window style mirror...

Last December I bought a couple of wonderfully soft, warm throw blankets at Costco; the type with super soft micro sherpa fleece on one side and velvety soft plush on the other. They're positively yummy and were on sale for $11.99 down from $16.99. Well, the dog kept swiping my blanket, so the next time I went to Costco I bought him one.

Bear in mind that last December home visits by friends and relatives were rarer than hen's teeth. Our two grands didn't see the blankets until Costco was out of them, but they instantly fell in love with them. Soooo for the past 11 months when they've been at our house they grab my blanket and the dog's when they're on the couch watching TV.

Come this October the blankets are back, but at $17.99. I figured I'd buy some for the grands, but told DH that I'd wait because they'd surely go on sale again. When I went to Costco a few weeks ago I was kicking myself because the blankets were all gone. :cry:

A few days ago I went to a different Costco for something else and there they were - and on sale for $11.99! I bought four... two for the grands and two for our RV.

We'll donate the throws we currently use in our RV. The caveat with this extra part of the kids' Christmas gifts is that their blankets have to remain in our house otherwise we'll be back to the same situation year as we were in last year! (DD bought new throws for them last winter.)

I was very happy to snag those blankets! Am now realizing I should have gotten one for the dog when we're RV camping. I'll just have to move his from the couch to the RV...
 

I went positively wild and crazy today and bought two sweaters for 65% off...spent less than $25 for both including tax. Then went to Kohl's and found another sweater that I couldn't live without, discovered at the checkout that I had $15 in Kohl's cash that I'd forgotten about, and paid exactly...nothing! for the sweater. There's even a penny left on my Kohl's cash. The price was marked down from $48. I'm a happy camper because it's rare that I spend money on me for wants rather than needs.

I love Sketchers sneakers. The last five pair of sneakers I bought (over a couple of decades) were Sketchers. I like that they have a little bling (sparkly stuff) on the sides. The last pair I bought is lightweight, slip on, is navy and has sparkly threads running through. Got them from Amazon and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I like the style and design of your sneakers HD.

Continuing to feed my sweet tooth, I was at Trader Joe's and among other things, I bought Dark Chocolate Peppermint Joe Joe's. A tasty treat.

I also got a loaf of cinnamon babka.

I still remember those Dark Chocolate Peppermints they were giving samples of at Christmas before Covid. I made 2 or 3 trips around the store for them.

I have 15 pairs of skechers.. some are slip on.. some are lace -up... I know the very ones you're talking about Diva , I have those also... :D I use my slip on ones instead of carpet slippers indoors( black & navy) , they don't slip off when I'm going up and downstairs... as my normal slippers do at times..

I have the lemon and white ones pictured..I have 3 pairs of pink... 2 of blue.. 5 of black..one of black and pink... one of grey...2 of white..

They are expensive, so I wait for the sales and get them then...

I came to start using them about a year before I retired when I got excruciatingly painful Plantar fasciitis...and the cusioned solesoof the skechers, and light weight, saved me from retiring earlier than I did by allowing me to continue working 10 hours on my feet.. every day

Wow! You sure have a lot of sneakers! LIke you, I've managed to get them on sale, but you got a better deal. The ones I got before the lightweights were plain black and plain white. I wanted to keep it simple. My honorary daughter took me to the Sketchers outlet and the sale was buy one get the second half off. I've held on to my older pairs (black and white) of Sketchers just for going up and down to the laundry and knocking around.

It's smart that you are using the slip on ones to maneuver the stairs...certainly safer. A few decades ago, an orthopedic doctor (who I didn't like) recommended New Balance when I was diagnosed with heel spurs. Damn those things are painful !! I wound up buying two pairs of NB sneakers but hardly ever wear them because I don't care that much for them. She also told me to get a certain style shoe insert which wound up being useless. Now they are used as door stops. :cautious:

skechers stores are horrendously overpriced, so I buy my skechers in the sports shops or online.. wherever I get the best deal...

Wheen I got the PF in my feet, I was..like youwith your heel spurs.. told to wear a certain type of shoe, wear a certain type of sock.. bandage , heel grip..you name it, it's huge business, I sent fortunes and none of it worked.. and I was in horrible pain. It was just sheer luck that I tried the skechers.. I wasn't supposed to wear trainers to work, but I had no choice, I was in sch agony, and so I picked up a pair of skechers after reading they had goga mat cushion sole.. and hoped to gett through the dayy at work( i really wasn't somone who wore trainers very much at all except to play sports) .. who was to know they would clear up the PF within 6 months, and really change my life a lot.....

I love shopping on Amazon! They have pretty good deals. I bought three blow up unicorn swimming floats, and a floating shark. For the grandkids, not me. We are having a family get together in Cinncinati in a couple of weeks, and I thought they would be fun. The littlest is just getting a floaty thing that I got at a regular store. Her dad said she wouldn't care. My spouse said we'd fill up the whole pool with floaties, but I think it will be fun. Oh, and we have five beach balls too. Everybody gets one. I'm a cool Grammie lol.

I love Amazon too but sometimes I find what I am looking for on the Walmart site so much cheaper. They deliver many things free if you spend $35. I shop between the two.

You see the shoes on the fellow from this newspaper cutting dated 1920. I just had to have those shoes. The comments they get when I'm wearing them out and about.
 
I haven't been posting on this thread lately because I am an addict, I admit. I get into a shopping frenzy and can't stop. I only buy things I REALLY need. Really, I do. Then I looked through what everyone else is buying and it looks like everyone is shopping too. Now I don't feel so different.

One thing I bought was a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker from Walmart. And a Keto Chow hoodie from Amazon.
