What was your last really good, useful purchase? I told you the other day I was buying one of big, cushioned, back and arm rest pillows that are helpful when you’re sitting up straight in bed or on the couch. With my back injury, I have to sit sideways, and this makes it pain free for me to do on the couch. It’s amazing! I even got it half price because Walmart had a Prime Day like period. What about you?

That's great that it was such a good purchase. Not really sure of anything myself

@AmbiePam I don't know if it's really useful though, and once I drink it it's no longer of use lol

Bakcup battery banks. They have been a lifesaver during this storm and after math

@AmbiePam Me too. We were lucky we were able to get gas cans filled before the storm. So we can have the generator going. I took a shower last night using the generator and will want to take oen in a day or two I'm sure.

An Air Fryer, I was reluctant, I bought one years ago and I did not like. The neighbor suggested to try again now that I am alone. The one I bought is great, I use it instead of the oven almost every day.

I have one; I just need to give it a try. If you like yours I’m sure I’ll like mine.

@AmbiePam - I disliked the first one I tried, but I am very happy with this one. I particularly like making the chicken wings and chicken thighs in it, but also French fries.

That's great news. My purchase today wasn't really useful. Well, it sort of is. I picked up four cards very cheaply but they're quite unusual and look much dearer than what I paid for them. I like to have a few cards up my sleeve for unexpected (or forgotten) birthdays, etc.

My best purchase was buying Canon print cartridges from a social media site that came in this afternoon.

I got some sneakers at a thrift shop a couple of months ago that look brand new and were only 4 bucks. That was a good purchase for sure.

Oh I don't know. I guess I'd say the aromatherapy/humidifiers for here and my classroom. It is nice to have a good scent in the room.

That pillow sounds like such a good find, especially getting it half price. My best recent buy was a good pair of walking shoes and my feet are so much happier now. Wish I got them sooner honestly.

How lovely that you have found a way to sit comfortably! My last big purchase was on Wednesday, when I enrolled in a yearlong weight management program with a local health system. I did a behavioral questionnaire and initial health assessment - they measured my basal metabolic rate and took blood for labs. Next week, I will meet with a counselor on Monday, a doctor on Tuesday, and after that, a nutritionist. They gave me a digital scale Wednesday and had me download an app to track my weight and nutrition, and it gives me tasks to do, too. Sigh. I'm even busier now, but I do need this help.
