Last Thing You Bought?

Five shirts, six pairs of pants, a dress coat, two winter coats, a non-stick pan, nine new pairs of socks, and a set of measuring cups at the thrift store. Grand total: $82

Six pairs of underwear, a rope for some yardwork that needs to be done, locks to keep my bike wheels from being stolen, a 16GB microSD card for my new mp3 player, a printer/scanner, school supplies, a seat cushion, and the biggest backpack Target had to offer. Grand total: $156

My new mp3 player: $32

And lots of groceries I don't feel like doing inventory or finding the receipt for.

I'm so very tired. :|

I hope you find school to be exciting and rewarding. :)

I just ordered 100 personalized deposit slips from my bank website. These should last me for the next 5 years, but I got tired of running out of personalized deposit slips long before running out of checks. :p
 
I went to Home Depot looking for a stainless steel trash can with a locking lid. When I walked in the door, there was a display immediately in front of me, a special buy, one tall stainless steel trash can, one short stainless steel trash can and a stainless steel toilet brush holder, all for $29.88. I bought one, and my boyfriend is going to add a lock to the tall one to cat-proof it.

I bought a beat-up banjo ukulele at the local antique store. The dealer said listed that it was hand-crafted in the 1940s or '50s. It needs a new skin (synthetic, of course), needs to be re-strung, and the metal frame thing needs to be refastened. I'm hoping that won't cost too much.

That's a really pretty instrument! How much did it cost you?

I'm sure once you've fixed it up it will look spectacular. :yes:
 
It cost $54, 20% off of the original price of $65. I suppose I could have tried to haggle, but that is one of those things I find difficult to approach.

And yes, it does look nice right now. I hope it sounds nice too. I would have to learn how to play it though. This would be my first attempt at a stringed instrument. :)

I'm sure if you search the internet (especially YouTube), you can find some video tutorials on playing string instruments. I'm impressed by your enthusiasm for this particular project. :up:
