Last Thing You Bought?

Authentic Mexian by Rick Bayless from the local English library book sale. I got it for 3 € down from 4. I also bought someone a few children's books for 5 €.

They don't have good deals like the charity shops in the UK or Canada but I always pick up 1 or 2 books.

I just ordered a year's subscription to the children's magazine "High Five" as a birthday gift to my two great-nephews. One turns four in April and the other turns two in June. High Five is put out by the same people who put out Highlights for Children, which you probably see in doctors' waiting rooms. I read Highlights when I was a kid and loved it. High Five is for toddlers/preschoolers/kindergarteners and Highlights is for older kids. When they're old enough, if they want to keep getting the magazines, and if their parents are okay with it, I'll switch the subscription to Highlights. $34.98 through Ebates.

Oh I loved Highlights as a kid, and so did my son!
Those hidden pictures were the best, and Goofus and Gallant!

I always associated Highlights with the dentist. The were always outdated copies in the waiting room... and all the puzzles were done. :pout: LOL

Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book - Wikipedia

What a find! Miss Ella singing a bunch of great songs by one of my favorite songwriters! :jump: I got it from Google Play because they're usually 50 cents cheaper than iTunes or Amazon. I spent the money and got the $16.49 expanded version, because why not.

Got it! Actually, I think I may have purchased more than a dozen various Ella collections (most on cassette)... LOL :rolleyes:

I used to perform Miss Otis Regrets, Too Darn Hot, & Always True To You In My Fashion....

Enjoy!! :)

I'm going to pay someone to get my bedroom decorated and I want to buy a new lighter bed base as the one I have is too heavy to move around. I might get a futon style one.
 
I ordered a garden stone with a paw print for a guy at work who just lost his cat, Dean, last month. It hit him harder than he expected. I saw it and thought it was fitting...he always has a nice flower garden in the summer. Dean would often sun himself there.

I almost bought a new temp controlled, glass, electric kettle :(
I saw it on amazons lightening deal at work, and just couldn't decide. It was on sale at $31.99 and had changing lights that indicated tempurture

I really want a new one, as I've had mine for 4 years and it's all plastic. It works great I just get very uncomfortable with the heating of plastic, esp after 4 years. I'd love temp control
Just when I thought I'd bite, it was back to regular price

Any tips on electric kettles? Brands?
Huh, doesn't want to take the link...
