What have you bought recently?

I bought a 2022 calendar, more Curel skin lotion, a 2022 planner that will fit in my purse, multi colored pens (for writing not coloring), a long handled natural bristled brush (for dry brushing but can be used for showering also) and more Keto Chow.
 

My grand daughter's Christmas present which finally arrived today. It's a huge wall hanging by William Bouguereau called Song Of The Angels 1881 and measures 5ft x 4ft.. This is the original picture

And this is the wall hanging that arrived today stretched out on my buffet in the dining room.

A little disappointed that some was cut off and the colours look a bit faded but she's gunna love it. :)

I bought it from Fine Art America which cost $78 American but was $116.21 Aussie dollars.
 
For months I've been threatening to pull the trigger on an order for jeans. Did that this morning and ordered a long-sleeve t-shirt as well. Thursday delivery for the jeans, Friday delivery for the shirt. The total was enough to save me the shipping charge. Just last week I spent half an Amazon gift card on N95 masks. Guilty. I'm a spendthrift.

Now for ordering bulbs for wandflowers (also called Ixia). These bulbs just don't exist here in any of the garden centers or stores that have garden centers. They're supposed to be planted in the fall, but the earliest shipping date I've seen is at the end of March. Wut? The end of March is already warm weather here, and Ixia is a cool-weather bloomer:mad:

Payday is Thursday. I'm gonna hit the "submit order" tab on Thursday, and may the devil take the hindmost.
 

Still to early to shop but plan to buy boneless chicken breast at Von's. Going to stock up @$1.27 a lb. Last week my wife wanted a food saver vacuum sealer so she bought this one. NESCO VS-02 Food Vacuum Sealer Starter Kit with Vacuum Sealer Bags, Black.
 
Ordered a new SS travel mug to replace the one I destroyed the seal on. This style seems not to be made anymore.

I ordered on the evening of Jan 10th. Having Amazon Prime and 2 day delivery, it should be here on January 22nd. That wasn’t a typo. That’s the norm.

Yesterday I bought a new tablecloth at Walmart. It washed up well so bought another colour today. My old ones will be donated.

why are you still paying for prime ? 😖...I've had that happen a couple of time too tbh... but not enough that I'd cancel prime, but if ever got to be a habit then I would cancel. Incidentally when I order using Prime, most of the time I get a one day delivery , and occasionally same day delivery...

My orders from Amazon Prime are usually here with a day or two too.

Same here, unless the item is being shipped directly from another country, in which case AMZ gives the estimated delivery date before the purchase is complete.

AMZ often beats its estimated delivery date.

This is one of my most favorite pieces of art!

I wish so much wasn't cut off; the beautiful wings, etc......still beautiful though.
 
I bought a bottle of Echinacea drops, oat hay, thinner compression stocking, magnetic hooks, some essential oils that I ran out of and some warm sweats for my son, all from Amazon. From Walmart I ordered a floor mat for the kitchen (not a rug but they call it a fatigue free mat), a small rug and fleece blanket for Rabbit (I worry about him getting cold at night).
 
A cookie jar shaped like a camper for step-daughter's birthday present. She's big on camping and is gonna love it. Website says it'll be here tomorrow. Then I have to ship it to her because I ordered it through work and there's no option to have it shipped to a different address. Her birthday isn't until the 23rd so if it really does get here tomorrow it might actually get to her by the 23rd.
 
A scarf. The local artisan was there and I always like what she makes. Definitely don’t need it. Also some homemade frozen samosas to have with butter chicken next week. Some smaller jars to downsize the Costco size bottles of spices; some I just know I’ll never use that amount of spices in a decade.

Some of my residence rooms don't have strong lighting illumination so in the past if needing to do more work therein would be moving around various cheap floor lamp stands room to room, incandescent or fluorescent. Given the rise of LED, battery, and materials technology, expected there would be numbers of more efficient portable modern products now with high illumination so after a wee research just amazon ordered the following for $42. Not the most powerful, fanciest, or most expensive but rather functional, highly rated, priced well:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VRXN6RC/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

LOFTER-pro, TG01-30W, 30W LED Work Lights, compact 2.33#, waterproof, cordless, 3000 Lumen Rechargeable Work Light with Stand, 6500K, USB Powered, 6000ma rechargeable battery, 360° Rotating Job Site Working Lighting for Outdoor Camping Hiking Emergency Car Repairing, 3 light brightness levels.

With a 6500K color temperature, it will also work as a photographic lamp both indoors and remotely outdoors. Most of time will be set up in my usually dim main bedroom. Expect to toss 3 or 4 old lamp stands in the trash.

ha!! I bought something very similar a couple of months ago.. they are small and super powerful for emergency lighting.. as an avid photographer, it would never have occurred to me to use it as a backlight for my pictures.. thanks for that snippet of really useful info... (y)
 
My work light is due Thursday. Am expecting to discover numbers of ways to use it I've not yet imagined. Also in another few years am betting a lot more people will have these too as most high brightness lighting in the past has been AC power corded. Another use I thought of personally as an exhibiting landscape photographer given the even illumination from many LEDs is to illuminate large photographic prints.
