What have you bought recently?

Little bitty individual Gorilla Glue tubes (eight to a pkg)

I can’t afford the high-end brands like you. Bought a 4 pack of no name tubes this morning. I had 3 unopened ones from 2021. They don’t last. $1.50

Today I went to the mall... it was almost empty..even the coffee shop in there which is always busy only had a handful of people in it...

I asked in the hair salon which was empty if someone could trim my hair, they had an excuse why someone couldn't..so I left it... had a mooch around the stores.. nothing worth buying..

Bought some peach Peony & Jasmine pump bottle soap from TKMaxx... and a high end shower glass squeegee.. I usually use cheap squeegees on the shower door.. but I thought I would try and see if the higher quality one does a better job

There's a huge sweet ( candy) store in the Mall... I got 100 grms ( apprx 4oz).. of dairy free chocolate fudge... to try.....I've tried it now, not impressed

Yesterday I went to my favorite thrift shop. I bought a really nice Halloween t-shirt, a designer t-shirt and a nice pair of blue-and-white shorts. Oh, and a pair of shoes. The whole bunch cost me $9. It was 50% off day. I was very pleased.

I make my own protein drinks. Several at a time. Takes too long with current funnel so just ordered this set and the big boy is .9 inch at the bottom.

I just ordered this from Amazon yesterday , cost over £11.00...

and totally unlike me, I never looked anywhere else first to compare prices, and now the book it's on it's way I've just discovered a book seller selling it for £4.00... I could kick myself

Well don't. It's a sunk cost and there is no need to castigate yourrself over it. Be kind to yourself, especially as you are still healing.

I ordered some things for my pup. She's about 12 years old now but looks and acts much younger. I adopted her from a rescue organization when she was 2 (her exact age isn't known but at the time, the vet estimated she was about 2 years old). She owns my heart.

I didn't actually buy it, but I did pay for it. My lady has bought a few metres (or yards) of pale grey fabric with a light chevron pattern. Wonder what's in the pipeline?

The new funnel should arrive in a day or two. I bought some Gatorade clone 8 pack from Walmart and poured them down the sink. I couldn't find empty plastic bottles to buy.

So i put a few inches of spring water in each bottle, then 50 grams of unflavored whey protein powder and 2 tablespoons of plain cocoa powder (not dark toasted) in each. Then shake a lot. The lids do a very good job with no leaks. Afterwards I add more spring water but leave a couple inches free for more shaking. Then refrigerate.

Someone could add a little sweetener if they wanted but that isn't my goal.

My existing funnel just takes way too long to prepare 9 drinks where I have to keep pressing powder into the hole with a bread knife.

Today I paid the deposit on our Christmas Day meal. Not having any children we have no extended family, so for Christmas we dine out. There's many a couple that do much the same, I tell you, it's never lonely in the hotel/restaurant where we enjoy our Christmas Day.

I bought tickets to a Chris Botti concert which turned out to be superb. I addition to his impressive talent, he had several outstanding musicians him with including a wonderful drummer, a great bass/guitar player, an excellent keyboard/piano player and an unbelievable woman violinist who simply blew me away.

Overall, it was money well spent on one of the very best concerts that I have ever attended.

I bought some superduper glue from amazon and a very small
kitchen light fixture....glued the light fixture over the stove, and
then glued the add-on handles to the fridge, works great for
both....
