What have you bought recently?

I just bought an indoor gas 3-burner gas oven with a load of accessories and tomorrow will be collecting the 13kg propane gas bottle to hook it up to. Going to put it away but bought it in preparation for the power cuts they're repeatedly saying we're likely to have. Already got candles and the like - I bought both real candles and LED with extra batteries -so no worries about light.

@Hollow, that Ninja air fryer thingy looks brill! I'm trying to decide whether or not to get one of those or go for the multifunction oven. Anyone got the latter and if so was it worth buying?

I ordered a pair of Hoka shoes. The podiatrist I went to yesterday recommended I get any model of Hoka or else the Phantom model of Topo (I had never heard of either brand). It looked like the Topo aren't manufactured in my size/width, but after trying on a large number of both men's and women's Hoka shoes with various lengths and widths, at two different stores, I finally found a pair that seem like they will work, but the store had to order them in my width so now I have to be patient for 10-14 days.

why would your podiatrist recommend running shoes for you ?
 

So much. Raised dog bowls contraption (dog has arthritis). A XL Rubbermaid bath mat. A twin mattress pad. A blanket for me. Playtex gloves. Nitrile gloves. Six mouse traps. Odoban disinfectant spray. I had all this stuff in PA (except for mouse traps) but they wouldn't fit in the car and my son refused to mail any more boxes to my cousin (it was very expensive).

Those raised dog bowls are good for any larger size dog, at any age. (y)
Bending their neck down never felt right to me .. seemed bad for digestion.

LOL I don't think he wants me to run in them, it seems to me that it must be because of the extra cushioning in the forefoot and the roomy toe area, but I didn't question him so I'm not completely sure. I think I must have wider feet and bigger toes than average. :confused:

Are you Tall ?... I'm just thinking you know that there's a lot of good quality training shoes out there with cushioning , that wouldn't cost so much money... I just wondered why the Doc would recommend those over others.. but as you say if you have larger feet , then that might be the reason

My lovely lady is frugal
Frugal to a fault
I seldom bug her about this, because, hey, if yer gonna have a fault....

Anyway, she's been buying these Dollar Tree mops for quite awhile
Goes thru one about ever two weeks
They're not much more than a plastic tube with a glorified dust bunny stapled on
We talked
She got this
40 bucks well spent
'loves it'
Mission accomplished

Sounds like you are getting the house in ship shape order. Once you have the kitchen set up, fresh meat and produce your cousin is going to be one spoiled man. We will be able to hear the moans of "oh, my God this is good" all the way here!!
 
Every time I drop something off at the charity store, I do a quick search. Two royal blue tops and a dressier skirt. It’s a good charity so I always feel like I’ve killed two birds with one stone when I shop there. Something for me; $ for them.
 
I frittered away $18 on an autumn decoration for DD's front door and another $3.50 for two kitchen towels.

The front door needed something new, and my kitchen towels are getting a bit shabby.

BTW, I have three very big muslin towels (36" x 36") for wiping dishes (does anybody do that anymore?) that were made from flour sacks more than 100 years ago. No kidding! I inherited them from MIL, who was given them by an older friend of hers who was moving to assisted living. The friend embroidered "xxx" in one corner of each of them so that when she lent them out, she always knew which were hers and got them back. Can we say that muslin, um, wears well? LOL
 
yes I still use tea towels because I wash up by hand, I don't have a dishwasher here... :D except me....

After my Iphone charger failed me in the car yesterday.. I ordered new Iphone lightening cables as soon as I got home, and they arrived today.. instead of the boring old white ones I've had for years.. I got myself some pretty pink ones.. love these..

Also...I finally found an electric heat pad that gets hot enough to relieve the pain in my lower back. For years I've used Microwaved heat pads.. but they get cool after about 30 minutes.. and sometimes I really need the heat on longer to get pain relief.. and finally .. I found an electric one which wraps around like a belt and has 6 heat settings...ooooh yes... 👏


Wish it was around when I was younger when I used to suffer crippling Menstrual pain 3 days a month.. it would have been a boon...
