I´m amazed at the amount of gadgets I buy online. / myLot

Today I saw for the second time some knives "As seen on TV". They could cut in 2 a man´s head. Not that I want them for that

But I do want to cut decent steaks all of the same size. And maybe I could dice onions more easily (the last gadget I bought was a fiasco, I do it better with my bare hands). The set of 4 knives was VERY expensive. But the gardener told me that he would not come this week and that he "might" come next week. Two weeks with no Nicolás and I pay for my knives. They come tomorrow. I´ll have to be up early as I don´t have a bell. The bell has not been working for over a year and I don´t know how to buy another one. Have you been buying more online with the pandemia?

Yes, but not because of the pandemic. It's because I discovered my test strips are cheeper on Amazon, and things like wheelchair parts are easy to find.

I have discovered many inexpensive things there. I bought some wonderful suitcases. I hope I can use them before I die.

@kaylachan I hope so. At least the biggest suitcase is already in use. I lent it to my granddaughter who went to Spain for a year to study.

I hope you enjoy your knives. I buy 90% of things online. We only go to the store when we absolutely have to...and it's my husband that goes.

Now I´m buying all my groceries online. But some of them are just luxury items like the good cheeses and ham.

Been buying more online before pandemic because my job was to purchase aircraft parts from the USA and I am from the Philippines. Now I am jobless and cashless so less buying.

I didn´t even know how to buy online before the pandemia. Now I haven´t gone to the supermarket for over a year and a half.

I'm buying things online a lot these days. It's easier too as we were in travel restriction before.

No I have hardly spent any money at all. As a result I am long overdue for a visit to the market, for gadgets, to the shops for clothes and to the bank for money,.
