What have you bought recently?

[hollydolly]

On Amazon, bought a belt with flat buckle so my shirts don’t stick out. I’m tired of readjusting my jeans to stay up so am now wearing belts again. I may try one of those 3/4 belts I saw; that would scrunch in the back and may work too.

Also bought a couple of short length shirts in the thrift store. Most things are too long for me.

i always have to have my blouses and tops shortened because they make them now for women who are 6 feet tall.. so they come down to my knees..

they sure do. I hate the thought of adding $15 to the cost of a shirt, but may do it for the perfect blouse.

I know exactly what you mean.. My dressmaker charges £10.. but as you say it adds that to the cost of the item ..

you're lucky if you can sew.. I've tried so many times over the years I just can't grasp the concept.. ...

long and wide slice toaster….haven’t had a toaster for a while….it will be great for toasting up home made waffles I make up and freeze…..

Sounds great to me!
Plus, whoppee, you bought something you will enjoy!

 

[Kaila]

Could I play with those toy trucks and buses, @Pepper ?

I would take turns with you!

I don’t know how to live without my sewing machines.

I * can* sew but I’m more of a survival seamstress It’s rarely for pleasure that I sew

 

[Georgiagranny]

3 pairs of stretch capri trousers... one khaki..one navy...one lemon

I want those if they're high-waist. Gimme!

see even this I would love to be able to do... take up hems, make curtains.. I'm just not made for it...

 

[hollydolly]

yep they are high waist they're actually fab..

 

[hollydolly]

Oh how I wish I could say the same. if you can sew you're a rich person all your life..

 

[Georgiagranny]

And then...go ahead and buy those long tops that come down to your knees, add a belt, and you've got a new dress

errrmmm no... they're not t-shirts, they're obviously blouses and tops.. and they don't actually come to my knees, more to my mid thigh but still way too long....I can afford to have them tailored, that's not a problem...

 

[MickaC]

Sounds great to me!

I like buying round up…..kills weeds and grass in unwanted places.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Apropos sewing machines: thanks for the reminder. I need to get mine out and do a nip and tuck on the top of my work apron. They provide a "one size fits all" apron, but unfortunately I happen to be somewhat...um...narrower than most?...at the top of the bib so there's a whopper of a gap without a tuck on each side. I'd made the tucks with a needle and thread, but the thread wears out. My trusty machine needs to work its magic.

Everything looks like a tunic on me

same... that's why I have to have it shortened...

 

[Pepper]

I would take turns with you!

The toys are for my 4 year old grandson, and he ain't big on sharing yet! Sorry, only grandma!

 

[MickaC]

This is not a recent purchase……got this about 4 years ago…..but it’s one of my best purchases.
Have you ever seen a vertical waffle maker…..never have over flow…..fill up to the line…..perfect waffle.

 

[Kika]

I decided to treat myself today and bought an Apple watch 7 series.
It should arrive on Saturday. I can't wait.

 

[MickaC]

I’m totally disappointed…..
Was looking forward to filling up with gas @ $8.36 gal.
I see it’s down to $7.68 gal.
Maybe I’ll wait till it goes up again.

I never buy anything on Amazon prime day, because many times I've seen prices inflated and then reduced to what it was originally in pretence of a bargain...

I usually stay with stores I like and feel satisfied with purchases. Sometimes, re clothing, I can tell when they change shoppers, as a result of doing business with them for a long time. When an item I love suddenly vanishes from a store, that's when I turn to Amazon. Also, I try to help keep the MOM AND POP businesses going as much as possible.
