What have you bought recently?

Well, I kinda bought it. Had a couple of cash coupons from my drugstores rewards program. Got two bottles of hair conditioner, on sale and with the coupons. Only cost me a buck.

I just love a good reward program!!

$7 today for 1.5 lbs of potatoes from California. They were worth it.

Jules, I agree, they are worth it, New potatoes, no need to peel, heaven on the barbeque. So good.

But I think I will wait a week or two, they will come down in price.....I hope

I buy yellow potatoes from Canada and lately I have been throwing half the potato out. At 6 bucks for 10 lbs.
 

I just bought a new clothes washer. My old one was staining my clothes, I cleaned it using instructions from google, but that didn't work. The stains appear to be some kind of lubricant. There is lubricant in washing machines supposedly sealed in for life, but they do break, and I read that this repair is not the most easy. Last time I hired a repair man, it took forever for him to show up, and I don't need the hassle, so I just had one delivered by two scrappy young guys who installed it.

Peace of mind the easy way, although it does cost more.

I generally buy russets and don't bother to peel them, regardless of preparation. For waxier potatoes, I go with reds.
 
Our BC potatoes are way behind because of the cooler than usual temperatures and excess rain. In late July I start buying whatever type they have at the Farmers Market.

Potatoes used to be a poor man’s food; no more. Many restaurants and institutional settings like seniors’ homes are serving rice because it’s easier and lower cost.
 
Supplies.....

Love the butterflies!
 
Yesterday in the thrift store I bought 2 crystal tumblers to replace the one chipped one from our set. At $1.50 each I figured I might as well splurge on both of them. They’ll probably all end up in a garage sale someday; I suspect that someone didn’t sell them at their weekend sale. Also two lightweight blouses for summer and a belt at another store.

I couldn't believe the clothes they had on the 50 cent rack outside at the little long established shop downtown. I got an Eddie Bauer top for winter and a men's shirt I'm going to use for the fabric. But most were too small for me.

All my dishes are thrifted, don't match and I don't mind.

Glad to find another thrifter. I'm not sure how many are on the forum.
