I brought home Popeyes famous new chicken sandwich. I think the hype was true! It was the best fast food chicken sandwich I’ve ever had

It was yesterday -

A new Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and amp
3 Harry Potter LEGO builds to add to my collection
Wiper blades for my car and truck
Gas for the aforementioned vehicles
Cat treats and dry food
A couple of patio decorations for the new place
Some storage bins to organize seasonal stuff in my new garage

Last and certainly not least - a trip to the barber!

12 more tomato cages

Some Hello Kitty! nail decals for my grandniece, Summer.

-Coffee
-½ in ½
-Gallon of milk
-Horrible food from Jack in the Box they couldn't have made worse. Well I suppose if they burned it and sent me the ashes in a fry bag it could have been worse, and I ate it anyhow. So at least for today I'm not dieting, there's that

I remember buying cute stuff, like this, for my grandniece when she was young!

Now she's a senior in College, majoring in art, so this is what I'm sending her...

The full box set of the tv series ER

A Magic 8 ball (I mean who does not need something that has the answers for all questions posed?)

The full set (5 movies) Pirates of the Caribbean (had these all once upon a time - I had lent them out to friends over the years - and now I have not a one).

Patterned sheets. I always buy solid color sheets but no longer like them and have been buying sheets with pattens of leaves.

I am about to head to my favorite greenhouse that is having a $1 sale on all annuals, herbs, veggies and sunflowers. I am bringing the truck…..

A 24’ long 6’ high cucumber trellis.

Next years garden is going to be bigger….

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!!!

Do bills count LOL

A giant metal sun face for the new garden shed I am buying next weekend
A frog on a rock statue for the koi pond I am working on
A garden tool organizer for shed
A small garden wagon/bench for the grandkids
A red single kuerig coffee maker to match my red/white kitchen
A set of sweat bands for my head because I am tired of it’s salt burning my eyes when I am outside working on the garden
Walnut and currents to make zucchini bread

a small batch of groceries

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.

A beautiful 'Like New' Swarovski phone case on Poshmark! I'm so excited to get it as I've been wanting one and looking for one forever but new, they are just ridiculously high. So yay!

2 more round garden raised beds for next year
Pink and purple spray paint to paint tires for next years garden
Melon holders to keep my cantelope off the ground while they grow
Some fancy school supplies for grand daughters
Groceries

You gotta play to win
 

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.

Buy Today
 

A good amount of groceries as another long weekend is upon us and who knows when folks run out of BBQ items?

New wipers for the van front and back (before the winter rush hits)

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

A 10 x 20’ garden shed w a lot of windows and double doors and side vents! I am SOOO excited!! It’s all white including the trim except for the roof which is a beautiful charcoal metal!

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.

Nice haul!!!

some groceries and dog food

Sitting home with Covid and leaves me alone with Amazon! Lol
And seed catalogs
I’m going to do damage today! Lol

A new with tags Guess purse on Mercari and a new without tags Guess wallet there as well. I've become a Mercari and Poshmark kind of freak this Summer. And, I love love love Guess products - beautiful things with a little edge. So excited!

A pull behind dump wagon for my garden tractor
5 mums of various colors from my grand daughters’ dance studio fundraiser

Some health products such as: band aids, neosporin, cortisone cream, kleenex

Some dry extra duty Swiffer cloths

A new cordless home phone with an extra handset and answering machine.

Here at My new place My cell phone service is very spotty- and it is more than annoying to have to sit in particular places and literally not move an inch for fear of the call dropping (laughing). So, I signed up for VOIP service through My cable/internet provider. The monthly price is more than reasonable and it is not a promotion so that makes it even better.

Going to have to buy dog food, dry food.
Some more groceries
and breakfast/lunch
