I bought a new floor register to replace an old, beat up one that had been squished and was restricting the airflow. Less than $10 and now my dining room gets cooler when the AC is on.

I bought 2 - 2# packages of Berger's Smokehouse Country Ham and a 2# of Berger's Smokehouse Country Bacon for $1.50/#.

I will use that to cook dozens of dishes and give them great flavor.

used dishwasher $50 off Facebook marketplace. Was so sick of the warped touchy door sensor and poor cleaning of the old one. New one is a Kitchenaid with the third rack and even the rinse only cycle cleans better than the full cycle of the old one. Paid 50 for the washer and $50 for some parts and accessories (new mounting brackets, door gasket cord kit, door spring linkage cord etc).

I love a new lipstick and try to keep the point as long as I can.

I have always loved the look of new crayons, too.

I've always loved new crayons. Does Play-Doh still have that same enticing smell?

I just bought an open box mesh wifi booster for $15, now my signal is 'good' instead of poor or fair. Well worth it not to have to sit through buffering.

I bought a pair of new jeans from a huge Goodwill store. The store tag was still on. I also bought a cashmere sweater for five dollars and change. There is a small flaw on the right shoulder. No one is going to see that under my coat in the supermarket.

I was out with my son for the day and he wanted to go there because the place is huge. It's in something like a former Kmart. We watched some guy buy golf clubs.

My husband bought for me 2 $3.94 Thanksgiving Cactuses. I now have 4. Didn't need them, they just made me happy. (the two on the end)

I bought a light bulb controlled by Alexa for 99 cents as part of an Amazon pre-Black Friday sale.

I put it in the porch light. Now when I forget to leave it on, I can control it from the phone while I am still in the car.

I hated stumbling up the steps using only the cell phone flashlight function to get in.

I just bought an inflatable globe. There is no posts so you can see the poles. I cant get it completely inflated like a balloon though.

But its an accurate image. The sizes are most realistic. Greenland really is big. Its bigger than Mexico.

I am huge geography buff.
