What have you bought lately?

Two pots of tea at a nearby cafe.

one bolt one lock 2 kilo of nails and 15 tubes of high tack kit.

Oh there are various things on the go, a new lock for the garden gate, the kitchen is still the major thing, and of course the new water barrier at the end of the garden..

Back in Novmeber I bought a new camera bag, earlier this month it suddenly fell from my shoulder. One of the clips on the strap had broken so I emailed the company with a photo of the broken clip and they replied and said they would re-order 'ít' for me, so I was expecting a new shoulder strap ( you cant just put a new clip on).. Two weeks have gone by without any strap arriving or any contact from them so I emailed them again pointing out I was lucky not to have a broken camera but I do still have a broekn bag so would they please get on with ordering the new part. I got an email by return asking again for my adress and saying that they will be sending out a whole new bag..

In the meantime I had found a strap to fit from an old camera bag so when they do send the new one that will go into storage. Somehow I dont think this bag is built to last !

I am waiting for an Amazon delivery.

The office Keurig has been acting up lately, so I ordered one from Amazon today. I have to wait another day to have coffee at the office. <sigh>

After doing research on prices and availability, I decided to pick one up at the nearby Walmart Superstore this afternoon...despite my disenchantment with Walmart. The website said they had it in stock in Aisle I23. I went straight there, and there was every other Keurig under the sun except the one I wanted. There wasn't even a spot on the shelf for it! GRRRRRR

Supposedly, Target had it, but for $20 more, so off to Target I went. On the way, I remembered that Best Buy supposedly had one, so I stopped by there first...same story.

When I got to Target, there was one on the shelf, but "DISPLAY," was written where the price should have been. There weren't any in boxes, either. GRRRRR!

It's no wonder Amazon is taking over! I got it for the same price, and they sell it in three different colors! Slate gray would have been okay, but the brushed gold looks nice. It should be here tomorrow.

These brick and mortar stores better wake up. If they keep lying about their inventory, they will fold. Who likes being lied to, much less driving all over town for nothing?!

That would have me gritting teeth too.

I was naughty today and bought myself a tub of Haagen Dazs Salted Caramel ice cream.

Yummy!

Just my midweek grocery shop topup yesterday.

Bills were paid today: that's all.

Well? All of you who naught bought in January, why aren't you out their catching up in February?

I bought some books at a charity book sale today.

I had a 5% discount coupon for the supermarket so I made sure I bought all the things on my list.. Pennies maybe but better pennies in my pocket than in theirs !
