What have you bought recently?

I'm home and didn't spend any money. Probably won't, either, because there are no plans to go out again. It's toooooo cold!

But wait...maybe I spoke too soon. Gotta have a look at Amazon just in case the price of the jeans I want is discounted. So maybe I'll spend some money today. Or not...I have $40 credit with Amazon. If I use that is it still called spending?
 

As it turned out, I got sweet-talked into going along for the ride to take DGD home. The plan was to stop at Michael's on the way. I didn't spend any money! There were lots of Hallowe'en-y things that were way too cute, and I didn't buy any of them. Arncha proud of me?

ETA: I checked Amazon. The jeans haven't been discounted :(

Saw right through me, did you? Not flowers, not spending.

Even if the jeans don't get discounted, though, I'm gonna buy them. I really am. Trust me. Really. But not today.

I sort of "spent" money. Sort of. I "spent" it from checking to savings.

700 watts is very low watttage for a microwave... don't you mind Sue ?
 
@hollydolly Pumice will definitely get the ring off and with very little effort. Way back in the way back when I was a cleaning fairy, it's what I used on my clients' toilets.

Welp. In view of all the jeans I discovered while sorting stuff in the closet, the ones in my Amazon cart went bye-bye. It's not like they're flowers that I can't live without.
 
So I keep getting emails from Wayfair to buy, buy, buy. Thanks, but no.

I guess today's email is their response to Amazon's Big Deal Days. The lamp that I bought about a month ago is on "sale" for a mere $40 more than I paid.

The only "money" I spent today was for three new solar wind chimes to replace the ones that were ruined by leaking Duracell batteries. It wasn't really money, just the balance of an Amazon credit to my account.

I'm not happy with Duracell. Complained and got the standard "bedbug letter" reply. Supposedly merely a legend, but here's a copy of the story:

Did a real event spark off this legend? Possibly. Folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand reported on a 1992 letter from the corresponding secretary of the George Mortimer Pullman Encomium Society in which it was claimed the bed bugging took place on March 4, 1889, to a Mr. Phineas P. Jenkins, a salesman of pig-iron products. After spending a night in the company of far too many bedbugs (which in my book would number "one"), Jenkins penned a note of complaint to George M. Pullman, President of the Pullman Palace Car Company. In return, Jenkins supposedly received a wonderfully detailed and heartfelt apology from Pullman. Its effect was undermined, however, by the enclosure of his original letter, across which Pullman had handwritten "Sarah — Send this S! O! B! the 'bedbug letter.'"

RMT-P1BT Bluetooth PHOLSY Camera Remote Control Release Shutter Commander

One of just 2 remote shutter releases thus far listed for the new Sony a6700. Main function is to allow shutter actuation while my camera is tripod mounted at low ISO settings low shutter speed without physically touching the camera since that will inevitably result in vibrations causing blur. Will be especially useful when focus bracketing. All the previous A6x00 models used an infrared port, not RF. Expect to receive in a few days. Part of that order was a couple spare NH-LZ100 lithium batteries, I received Saturday and have since charged.

A bottle green winter beanie hat...

That looks pretty close to a favorite hat that I have. Except the color is duller, it is lined with Thinsulate, and has a pointless velcroed pocket on one side.

I recently washed the heck out of it but it's all gone a bit floppy. I wish I could find another exactly like it. I don't like it for its style, it was warm and fit very well.

Thanks, I'll look for that!

While I'm there I see they are selling something weird. I was looking for deals on applesauce, I usually use the "no added sugar" stuff along with dried cranberries to sweeten & moisten oatmeal.

They normally add "vitamin C" to stave off browning, but now a company "Motts" is selling a line they call "Motts Mighty" which seems to have "corn fiber" in it. Not sure I trust that concoction.
 
No luck yet but I'll keep hunting. Egad. One hat has a video where the guy modeling the hat looks up toward the heavens, snow falling on his face, enraptured to the point of wetting himself. I guess they have different winters where he lives. No battling a balky snow blower in the video, nor stepping off a curb into slush so deep it swirls down into his boot instantly paralyzing his foot. Not even a snowplow appearing out of nowhere to cover him in several feet of churned up rocky hard-packed snow.
 
Oh boy, another one crows "Close top" and shows a top view to show that your bald spot won't be left hanging in the breeze. Madison Avenue's Finest must design these ads.
