What have you bought recently?

With being disabled and housebound and not being able to get to shops over the past 18 months I have purchased the following on line.

TV, Computer, Printer, Microwave, Breville HotCup Hot Water Dispenser, Nebuliser, Trousers, Scented oils, Housecoat.
I have also been on line to get a new fence put up plus a new garage door which are all done and done with now.
Even hand made personal birthday cards.
I also get my grocery delivery on line. I cant say that I like doing it but at least I get what I wanted.

Bought a new landline phone on Amazon. The price was reduced. It's an ATT phone. I'll get it Thursday. That's tomorrow. I can't wait to see all the features.. My old one is so worn out. I hope it has a good choice of ringer sounds. Also a phone book built in.

This is the same phone that we had in 1968, when we got married and moved into our first home. We still have it and it still works.
For security though, it's wired to a modern phone so that we can see the number of the caller.
 
My cousin's toaster oven was a total mess Bought a new one. It is smaller (takes up less counter space) and looks really cool. It has a crumb tray, so cleaning the bottom of it is easy. Also bought silicone oven mitts and a kitchen trash can -- the lid opens with a wave of the hand. I am waiting to see if the dogs figure out how to open it. But one must balance guy in wheelchair with 3 dogs with noses attuned to trash.

I have that same phone.. but added to that I have several GPO 746 's in Black , and various other colours as well as Trimfones, and even a couple of 232's ... All rewired to work on the modern system.. I have one in my bedroom.. but otherwise I use Modern Dect cordless Phones... My hobby for many years was to buy vintage phones, and modernise them for sale.. now I no longer do that, but I keep the ones I have as part of my own collection which include GPO 332's which are quite valuable..

niw for the fun of rearranging the room. 😁
 
A local grocery has a "Close Out" section which is many aisles and is a little adventure to see what's available.

I bought what I am using as a Spoon Rest, although I don't think that's what it is. It was in a display of crockery styled in Spanish/Greek/etc. so I don't know what it is, but it is now my new Big Spoon Rest and it's pretty, too. $2.99

Also bought a large clear acrylic jar with that flip lid that you open and shut with a flip of a metal piece on the front. I decided to put my measuring cups and spoons in that and for now, I like it. 3.99

Finally, I needed winter gloves to go out today, and realized I only have one pair I regularly wear and the others wear less often. So, I found a pair of gloves. 3.99

Also bought two winning lottery tickets hope hope. Plus an assortment of groceries.
