A 30 amp circuit breaker. I'm adding a 30 amp RV outlet to the outside of the garage so I can plug in my camper or a guest's camper and have enough power to run an AC or electric heater. Gotta keep busy during the lock down.

Did that a few years ago. One of the best ROI's from any DIY project I've done.

My DW just spent $120 on 6 bars of Bulgari soap! (She told me it was for my birthday  ) I got an email from Amazon that I had purchased them - that's how I found out.
I had bought her a couple of bars for a special Birthday gift, but not for daily use. I should have remembered Old Boss Wisdom #1, "exceptions create expectations."  (I badly want to return them, but maybe this isn't a good time for that....)

My wireless home network signal was not reaching the detached workshop 200 feet from the house. Bought a TP-Link N300 WiFi Extender for $15.99 and plugged it into the RV pedestal located halfway between the house and the shop.
Now I can listen to Pandora and YouTube out in the shop without burning up data on my phone. I can even lower my data plan and save $10 a month. 
Yeah I know mesh networks are the in thing but this gets the job done for a lot less.

Ordered 25 gallons of grape juice, hot packed in 5 gallon containers before 9:30 AM from grape juice distributor in another state. DW and I drove 200 miles, ate lunch from a Wendy's. We picked up juice from wagon in shop with my name on it about 2 PM, loaded it on the pickup, and drove back home. Hardly any traffic, even through rush hour, home about 5:30 PM. Dealt with 2 humans the whole trip, the cashier, where we gave them the money and drove up to 2nd who handed our lunches in two bags. Beautiful day, great spring road trip!

Like a lot of Amazon items lately, they were delivered one day earlier than Amazon predicted. |
I got these, on your recommendation, and LOVE them. Thanks!

Whew!
I always get nervous when someone follows up on a recommendation. Glad you're as happy as I am.

Two more Drive 4 wheel rollators for our local hospice. We cannot get in to repair the ones they have. I am using my stimulus money to pay for them.

This was from Walmart but I'm posting here because I'm a rebel.
I use two or three thin cotton blankets because they're easy to wash and they're heavy which I personally like. I'd consider those weighted blankets but cotton works well enough.
I got yams because I wanted an orange vegetable and carrots weren't available on Walmart and too expensive without Prime membership on Amazon.
I add baking cocoa to my coffee. Unfortunately it doesn't work in cold milk. Even in hot coffee you have to sprinkle it in and stir quickly so it doesn't clump. Make sure your stirring spoon is empty when you dunk it in the coffee to stir, and don't stir in circles. You need turbulence.
The flour is for pancakes. I'm just using flour, rolled oats, and baking powder. I think I'm done with pancake mix. I've been paying more attention to prices and experimenting with pancake recipes and decided this is best.
