What have you bought recently?

I got some night lights. They have dimmers & they go on automatically when it's dark & shut off in any light. Can't believe how cheap they were - $12.00 for two.

oh yes, they're very handy, and bright. The ones that plug into the top and bottom electric sockets come on for about 10 seconds as you pass them lighting the immediate area in front and side of you... and the ones on the stairs, the motion sensor lights run on batteries or can be charged using USB... I've charged some of them once since I got them, and so far not had to change the batteries ( AAA) at all in all the ones on every step.. so they last a long time

I have a few of the plug in type scattered through the house and garage. Not bright enough for anything but safety, but that's what they're there for.
 
Bubble wrap, a basket sort of thing to corral all the stuff I need for work, some pot-size spaghetti, milk, multi-vitamins, Ensure (because who wants to eat anything before going to work at the butt crack of dawn?).

I certainly know how to shop for fun stuff, right?
 
This morning I bought a new shower head.. and got it home and had it fitted before I even had anything to eat today..

Bought a bunch of groceries because the supermarket is just minutes from the Plumbing store.. so I didn't have to go out of my way to get them...

.. New bottle of Marine Collagen Supplements.. as well as another bottle of Triple Magnesium Complex.. .

Also bought 2 new cushion covers for bolster cushions..

Tax season is just around the corner, done my own & others for years (no longer). This year I need new toner. Cost is just over $75 combined for both colors. Looked at Amazon, a new printer with smaller toner supply is $70 (plus free shipping), toner alone would be $75. The best option is a new printer, but since Prime is history in May '23 I decided to look at Walmart. A comparable HP deskjet is on sale for $49+ free shipping. Bought the Walmart printer & saved $20+, Prime is not looking needed once again.

ADDED: Printer was delivered this PM @ 1430. Fastest item ever, must have came from our local WalMart. Within 4 1/2 hours after ordering.

Having had a toner printer, why would you return to inkjet? I'm soooo over inkjet printers.
 
I need a new pair of slippers. These ones I'm wearing were supposed to be leather, but no way. They're a leather-like product... plether or some blend of leather and polyester, but the Amazon description claimed they were genuine leather. One needs to be careful these days and carefully read the reviews.

Cost was my motivator. Both use cartridges but only need it at tax time, can't think of the last time I needed to print usually save to the cloud. Both are either inkjet or deskjet, deskjet is HP's name for them. The other consideration is compatibility, HP usually works well with Linux, they're not tied to MS as closely as other manufacturers.

ADDED: Savings so far starting on the 26th of Jan is now @ $33 towards the $139 goal. One coffee maker & one printer.

Ahhh... I print several times a week for business or personal needs. Toner printers are much cheaper in the long run. Bonus: the ink doesn't run if the paper gets wet.

Bought a rechargeable hand-vac today...mainly for the area around Pixel's "bathroom". I don't use clay litter anymore, I switched to wood pellets. I like them a lot! Pixel doesn't track them all over the floor, but he does pitch several out of the potty box fairly often...not worth digging out the vacuum cleaner for that.

The potty box itself is a snap to clean since I started using wood pellets, and it never stinks...well, except for a few minutes right after he deuces in it. So I only have to clean the box twice a month; just tap it on the floor once or twice and every bit of everything comes loose, and then you just empty it into a trash bag.

Hi Murrmurr... which hand vac did you get? Are you pleased with it?
I have to get a new one...any suggestions?

I didn't want to spend much bc I won't use it very much, so I got a Black & Decker Dustbuster. Installing the charger was kind of a bear. The holes for screwing it to the wall are at the top and bottom. It would have been a whole lot easier if there was one on each side instead. I clean the little filter with the small, fairly soft broom that came with a dustpan I bought years ago. Would have been nice if the hand-vac included 1 or 2 replacement filters, but no.

I paid under $40 for it at Walmart (online), and it's worth that.

Thanks Murrmurr. My old one (that fell in the swimming pool) is a Black and Decker. Perhaps, I'll go for same again.
 
I bought a package of Kahlua flavored gourmet coffee and a bottle of sugar-free maple bourbon pecan syrup from Amazon. Out of my food budget so does not affect my "no spend" month.

Don't invite it to any pool parties.

But @Jamala
Did it do a good job cleaning your pool?
And, is it still at work cleaning such a large one (pool area)
that you need to buy a different one, for your home?:unsure::unsure::unsure:

(I just need daily doses of humor... good shared laughs that money can't buy!:giggle::geek::LOL:)
