Saw blades for a jigsaw and a reciprocating saw. The jigsaw blades are "just because" I didn't have many, and I have a need for the blades for the reciprocating saw. A few days ago we ordered some Fisher-Price toys for DW's almost-2-year-old grandniece for her upcoming birthday and they arrived in plenty of time.

A stainless steel water bottle and water bottle cleaner.
I've been using a plastic water bottle as the bottle's ergonomics feels great in the hand and the cap is convenient to use in the car. But with plastic comes growth of yucky stuff that I noticed recently. Icked me out enough to look for a new system. Namely, stainless steel

I ordered High Voltage banana plugs, High Voltage wire, HV capacitors and HV diodes. You might have guessed I'm working with High Voltages!
My son is doing some specialized electrostatic experiments at work, and I'm getting involved building the HV units needed. My son's boss recently offered me a job, nope, nada, nein, I'll stay home and play on this project rather than be committed to a schedule.

Nintendo Switch Lite and a 512 GB SD card for daughter's upcoming 45th birthday. Yeah, she's a "gamer" like W2R.

I bought extra strength double sided sticky tape to put up the new door alarms for my pool resurfacing project- so it will pass code inspection. I had perfectly good alarms up but apparently they will no longer pass code. [emoji849]
When I went to order yesterday my son had put two Zelda games for the Nintendo switch in the cart.
He has twins so figured it was for the boys. Confirmed with my son and included them in the tape order. So son saved himself $130. [emoji23]

Just ordered a stainless steel steamer basket for my multicooker. Good to have a spare and I'm thinking stainless steel should be easier to hand wash than the plastic one that came with cooker.

18 portions of Kraft mac'n'cheese, each microwavable in its own cup. At the rate I consume them, these should last me for years.
Don't know why I bought them - - I was thinking of something non-perishable for hurricane recovery. But I'd need both water and heat for preparation, so they're probably pretty much useless for that purpose.

These are what I remember:
Solder Braid
Tchibo Coffee Maker
OTA Antenna
Razor blades
Hose Quick Release Ends
Chicken Grit (for DW's succulents)
Cat8 Internet patch cable
2Tb M.2 SSD
Plastic Razor Blade Scraper
Korky Toilet Fill Valve
Meat Thermometer
Laptop Case
Laptop Sleve
4Tb M2.SSD
Silicone Stove Top Gap Filler
2 Bay NAS
UPS

1. Buy $50 e-gift card get $5 credit on your prime day order.
2. Waterproof sandals - which turned out to be great deal with arch support and 4 different adjustment options, great quality and workmanship - leather, thick sole, they even had half sizes and extra wide.
3. Six pack of Brita water filters also a good deal.
Recently - dresses - not doing that again, nothing fit right!
Printer ink -
Always
Books or E-books that I wanted which were not offered for free in Kindle Unlimited - I am a voracious reader - still, I'm surprised that I'm actually getting my money's worth out of that membership.
Or the occasional book that I simply wanted to own for reference.
