What have you bought recently?

Traded a total of about $175 for food at Costco, WM pickup, Amazon and my produce store over the last few days.

I scored a GREAT deal for Gaucho Ranch original chimichurri sauce at AMZ. A six pack of 12 oz bottles for $16.97 (24¢/oz). A single bottle at the market costs $7 or more. I typically buy it by the gallon, but the container needs a big space in my garage fridge, runs $35, and takes about 18 months to use up. The smaller bottles cost me less per ounce and can live in my pantry until I open them. Win/win.
 
More horse feed, dog feed, and bird seed for Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Chicadees, Blue Jays, Pigeons, Cow Birds. I also have Indigo Buntings but I don’t see them until it stays warm.

I have seen two Purple Martin scouts at their houses. It’s about the right timeframe for the scouts to appear. They will go back with their report and I won’t see them again, until everyone comes home to make their nests❤️❤️

And a King Cake that is now in the freezer for when company gets here early March. They’re young and Northerners, I doubt they know what a King Cake is🤠🤸🏾‍♀️🤠🤸🏾‍♀️

———that^^^^ goes without saying I now have to clean better than I usually do🫣🫣.
 
Garden loppers which arrived a short time ago....

I've been trying to avoid, or at least stop the progression of, a turkey neck. It's so hard to find legitimate recommendations on which products actually work, although, from what I have read, surgery is the best solution. That's not an option for me. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't go the cosmetic-surgery route.

A few days ago I bought this neck cream. One site that rates neck creams stated that it is one of the best. Now I see that many other people have reported that it's virtually ineffective.

Grr!

I don't believe any potion stops, slows or reverses ageing skin.

The ravages of age, a lifetime of sun exposure and gravity eventually show themselves.
p.s. Neck lifts are a very common plastic surgery.

I placed an order for some small herb plants. Two basil, one mint. Also potting soil, mulch and citrus feeder for the lemon and orange trees. $49 and it'll be ready for pickup tomorrow morning.

You know, I've never fertilized our citrus tress. What do you use? I'm afraid I may over fertilize and kill my trees. I've done that in the past with some gardenia shrubs I bought.

waste of money IMO... you'd be as well just to put some SPF moisturiser on... it'll do the same job....like Star says, creams like these don't work...if they did, the rich and famous for example who can afford the most expensive creams wouldn't feel that they need plastic surgery...

Jobes or Miracle-Gro Fruit and Citrus Plant Food Spikes. The bigger ones (12 spikes = 3 lbs). Every spring DH plants 3 beneath our large orange tree and one under our much smaller lemon tree.
 
Nearly $100 in groceries from 2 cheap supermarkets and another $40 of expensive California gasoline at $4.15/gallon. My kitchen cupboards are now well packed with food that beyond perishables should last a few weeks during what promises to be a rather busy period of my life with numbers of road trips.

I also made an Amazon online buy for 5 minor items for a $36 total or a bit more than minimum for free shipping. That included $7 for a couple AWD red and chrome stickers to place on my 2023 Trailblazer LS, so snow chain control point CHP checkers on mountain highways, more easily recognize my uncommon vehicle as R2 rated, thus not requiring mounting of tire chains, (which I do carry). Also included 2 boxes of 50 packet each Swiss Miss chocolate drink mix boxes that I tend to consume as dry powder, that should last into summer.
