What Did You Buy Today?

[Bèsame*]

A little retail therapy has helped for the moment, from the week I'm having.

A cat fountain
A cat tree with a hammock on top
Cat food
A fry daddy. I'm really craving fish and chips
An emergency hand crank radio/flashlight/phone charger.

All Prime Days😊

I was on FB and a gentleman and his wife are having a garage sale tomorrow and Saturday and I happened to notice in one of the pics they posted some Batman stuff. So, I messaged him and asked if there was any way I could stop by and pluck those items up from him. He was more than happy to oblige. However, the best part was - he also offered to let Me look through ALL the rest of the stuff he had - so I scored the following:

1 diecast Batmobile (medium sized) and 1 Hot Wheels Batmobile (small)

A new in the package Coleman backpack cooler - that holds up to 56 canned items (or anything else that would fill the thing out).

A NIKON cool pix camera - brand new - for only $10. I have been looking for this type of camera FOREVER as I used to have one - and it broke. This was a serious score as the retail on them is pretty pricey.

4 pairs of capri pants and 5 t-shirts for My sister.

2 pkgs of zip ties

3 necklaces and 1 watch (all new in their original packaging).

Numerous (dare I say it) Christmas decorations and a door wreath.

1 tall (new) candle that smells like citrus.

1 bunch of fake flowers (yellow, purple, green, and white) for My sister.

1 travel Yahtzee game.

1 Harry Potter pez (for My niece).

1 wireless set of earbuds

I think there were a few more things - but I cannot remember them now. All of this stuff - totaled out to $32!

It felt like garage sale prime day!

OMG! I wish I was with you! I would have had so much fun. I love yard-sale-ing, garage sales, estate sales....you name it! Buying other peoples' junk for pennies on the dollar! WOW! Enjoy all your new things, Reach!

Is anyone here interested in watches? I've recently gained a heavy interest in them and have purchased a couple. I'm still learning about movements and the pros and cons of each, but for now, I'm starting with the aesthetics and size of the face, bezel, case, strap and strap closure. And of course, reliability. I'm learning about the history of some of the brands and even how some companies are moving towards eco-friendly construction, such as the Alpina Seastrong Diver Gyre that's made of recycled ocean plastic and apples (you read that right).

I love the idea of matching a wrist watch with what I wear or do; it feels...rich. It's one of those accoutrements that is probably unnoticed by everyone but me, and it's worth penny. Since I'm not rolling in disposable income, I'm starting with the low end of some of the lower luxury brands to get a feel for what I think of the company. Today I got a Tissot Couturier. It's a stainless steel case with a black face, silver-tone hands and hour markers, and orange minute markers with orange stitching on the black leather strap.

I DO notice watches, on, well, almost everyone! I find them fascinating! I am going to google the recycled plastic & apples one.

You are, for sure, a watch connoiseur! Awesome!

My all time favorite is a Citizen's Eco Drive...stainless steel snap band, tiny diamonds around edge, and the face is mother of pearl....it is a gorgeous watch. My deceased, LTR partner gave it to me, as a last gift, about 13 yrs ago. It doesn't use batteries, rather works on movement. Everyone is always asking me if it is a Rolex...it looks that nice/expensive. As it was, this watch was almost a grand BUT we got it for a third (store closing/liquidation). I was actually looking for a Tag Hauer and saw that MOP face & KNEW it was for me.

Thanks for an interesting post!!!

a small batch of groceries

[Reach *BANNED*]

It was actually yesterday, but all of it was delivered today.

2 - 5 tier shelving units.

3 - 64 gallon totes with lids

All of this will be used out in the garage to organize the things I mentioned on the agenda thread (I think). Some of the items are already sorted and in totes - so I am hoping that the 3 I just bought will work - if not I will purchase a few more. I got all of this at Home Depot -and the prices were remarkably good.

Absolutely! Those bills provide you with something, be it a/c, cell service, food, housing, etc. If nothing else, they buy you time.

I wandered into the Today's Deals on Amazon and picked up a palette, some lip stuff and a craft kit. All were at least 50% off!

A Michigan Mega Millions lotto ticket.

The pot is over a billion bucks. I'm just hoping I win enough to purchase a chalet in the mountains and some choice seats at some jazz festivals around the world.

Good luck with that! Perfect spending plan.

Bags of mixed nuts for the fur and feather folks in the park.

My such a deal phone case arrived today and while it may or may not be a knock off and I'm kinda thinking it is, it's not the beauty I had hoped it would be and am really cranky about it. So much so that in my pissy and disappointed mood, I just went to the Swarovski website and bought a 'for real' one this time. But... the good news is, it was on sale! So now, I wait once more but at least I know this one will absolutely be the beauty I want.

I hit up Sprouts last night and brought home not only fresh veggies and fruit, but its Hatch Chili season. I came home with wonderful Hatch chili goodies. Chicken Hatch Chile sausages, Hatch chili veggie straws and cheese curds, (similar to crunchy cheese puffs, with a great chili punch!) Hatch Chile mac and cheese and some super tasty Hatch chili ranch dressing with avocado oil.

It's also friends and family at TJMaxx! So I hit up Home Goods. Clearance is in full swing at both stores. I came home with a galvanized elongated tub. I'll make holes in the bottom and turn it into a planter. And another galvanized double wine holder I'll do the same.
Also a bar of lemon grass soap. My bathroom smells a- mazing!
Hot peppered olives and chocolate smores macaroons.

I'm might hit up Marshall's this afternoon😮😎
