A new Iphone case.. !
For years now I've had the expensive but very boring and sensible iphone case that my husband chose.. always wanted something prettier and yes a bit more frivolous so today this arrived.. cheap and cheerful, and it makes me smile..

I've been using one of those for nearly a decade. Don't forget to change the filter - I do so on the first of every month.

A room air conditioner
for DGD's room because DD's budget is a little lean right now. There's an a/c vent in there, but it's actually the bonus room and doesn't cool as well as the rest of the house. The window unit that's been there for the last 19 years finally gave up the ghost
Got it from Lowe's, and while we were there anyway and they have a garden department, it only made sense to browse the flowers, right? Two gomphrena followed us home

2 boxes of 100 non latex vinyl gloves
New headphones after my green non brand name have given me good service for a few years but now loses connection if I move more than a few feet from my computer

@hollydolly I thought of you when getting the a/c for DGD. I'd have bought one for you, too, but there's that AC/DC thing and then by the time it was shipped and received by you, the heat wave would be over. Hope you're coping anyway.

Headed out in the car for a load of groceries. Needed to be able to get home before the frozen things melted. The other day I spent $50 at the Farmers’ Market. That doesn’t buy much but I don’t begrudge a cent. Good food and all the farmer’s have lots of expenses. One of my favourite vendors isn’t there this year. He did it as a hobby and considering he’s the same age as me may have just decided to retire.

Might have to break down and buy gas…..has gone down, again…..from $7.68 gal to $7.24.
So good that you support the farmers.

New stainless steel cookware. I've needed a new set of cookware for quite some time but I'm a cheapskate and hated to spend the money..haha. Well, nothing is getting any cheaper these days, so I broke down and a set (made in USA) is coming tomorrow. I can finally throw away the old teflon coated crap

You, too? I thought I was the only person on earth who doesn't like teflon or whatever other kind of non-stick coating. About 30 years ago I bought a set of Revere Ware and never looked back. It's still going strong. Mine is the kind without the copper bottoms (a nuisance to clean).New stainless steel cookware.

May you and your new cookware live happily ever after!

I have some non-stick (T-Fal hard anodized) frying pans, but my pots are all stainless steel. Bought my set about 25 years ago and it's still like new. I've had the frying pans for several years... they're so much better than Teflon.

Last night, I noticed the dusk to dawn light on the side of my workshop quit working. I replaced the bulb this morning, and it seems to work now. I always keep a spare on hand, so I checked the store prices....$13 to $17 for one of these compact florescent bulbs. I checked EBAY and found the same thing for $4.90....I ordered 2....nuts, to these stores and their huge markups.

My alarm clock gave up the ghost, my other half treated me to a new one.
Talk about loud, it sounds more like a fire alarm.

That's something I hope to never have to buy again. I like being able to sleep in.

You sleep in my friend, enjoy, you've earned it. For some of us work is a drug-like stimulus, it fills my day like no other.

Stopped at the mall and decided to walk over to a dollar store for one little item I had on my list. Thought of a couple more things I could use from there. No luck finding those 2 and left without looking for the sponge.
Did end up buying cotton makeup removers at another store. Couldn’t decide which type so bought both since they were nearly sold out of them. My idea of a big spend because I also bought some Vitamin D gel caps.
