This new cat dish. First, it's the correct size serving so I won't overfeed my cat. Second, it actually has a rubber, no skid bottom, so my cat doesn't have to chase his food all over and I don't have to fish the dish out from under the cupboards or table every time I turn around. Third, it's stainless steal, so it washes great and doesn't rust. So what's your best purchase and why?

The best thing I bought in a long time was my used dishwasher. It only cost me $80 and I have had it for 3 years now. Love it! I wish I had bought one years ago.

That was a lucky purchase! Usually when I buy something that cheap, it doesn't work! Good for you! Take care

I would have to say a washer and dryer. We had water leaking in a bedroom on the lower level and didn't know what was happening or why. The bedroom was carpeted so the immediate wet floor wasn't noticed since the room is empty. Discovered the washer was leaking oil and draining into the room behind it. We got a good buy on both the washer and dryer together so decided it was time. I use both like crazy so it was a great purchase.

Absolutely! My drier needed a new belt 10 years ago and cleaning last year. Washer, new hoses, and a new button, electric wire for one button. Then we get more years from both. Take care

That would and will be a good purchase when mine quits. Mine was a good purchase because they were both bought around 1986 or 7 when I first bought my trailor and survived the move to my farmhouse. Longest running ones the guy ever sold and has only come to fix them 2xs for minor problems

My Kuerig Single Serve Beverage System, which makes a cup of coffee or hot tea one at a time has probably been my best purchase. I've had it for about 2 years now and I love it. It makes 1 fresh cup of coffee at a time, which is usually all I drink when I drink coffee. And it makes it in less than 30 seconds, from an individually sealed "K-cup" that is a sealed filter with coffee in it.
No dish is dirtied other than the cup I will drink from. I just place the cup under the spout, lift the lever to open the place where the filter goes, pop it in and close it and press the button for the size cup I want to brew the coffee in to. I love it!

I had a cup that heated water in college and I loved it. But I left it on and burned the element to a cinder by accident. I loved that thing. I could put tea or hot cocoa in it, but I got a phone call and the element was above the liquid by the time I got off.
