What did you buy this week?

So finally got my plasma torches consumables in today as much as I dislike online purchases at least they give the "small fries" the time of day unlike a few local places. Plasma cutters good as new along with ordering extra consumables so mid projects I don't have to improvise .

I have gotten to the point where I am treated better by online sellers than locals too. It seems locals are indifferent to “small dollar”:counter sales. My favorite is, “we don’t have it in stock but we can order it”. I figure better for me to order it myself and save a trip back to pick it up.

The few stores I stopped at before going online never even bothered to call me back with prices or availability. I bought 2 of my tanks from one of those stores awhile back probably exchange or fill them elsewhere now.

edit:

Seal kits from earlier post installed on both Rhino tractors FEL cylinders, no more leaks on either machine - Very happy with that outcome.


Next, Should have bought one of these earlier.

FEL mount Chainsaw scabbard.

No more throwing the saw on top of the tools.



Also tired of, or more accurately Done buying expensive Keurig plastic pod coffee.

It ends up being stale even buying from different brands more often than not as of late.
Price has gotten way out of hand as well. .60- $1.00 a cup.

Fresh roasted beans should save about 70% or more versus the land filler K cups and also taste a whole lot better.


Going with a new Coffee machine, a Ninja "Luxe" Fresh ground beans every cup.
Latte-drip / espresso / cold brew unit. Got the three year warranty, really hope it works as well as the Shark vacuums we have had.

Last weekend was our 40th wedding anniversary, so I bought my wife a month of unlimited car washes.

I ran into Harbor Freight today at work, cause I forgot a tape measure at the house... ended up with the 25 ft tape, and a 8 ton bottle jack. With inside track, it was $31 after taxes for a tape and the jack.

I have probably half a dozen jacks around, with varies things wrong or annoyances with them, at at like $19; I figured why not. It looks like it had a pretty decent range of travel.

Bought 3 500' string lines at hf for laying out Xmas tree rows and my new drip irrigation I'm installing. Compared to other places it was half the price.

I came to agreement with the neighbor to buy his adjoining 23ac.

Spare set of Gator blades for the ZTR. Nice to be able to swap them out, then sharpen at a convenient time.

I’m on strike except for a few Christmas gift purchases.

Slew of property taxes due that coincide with property insurance and auto registrations.

End September and early October I’m feeling kind of flush and then the bills roll in and reality hits home.

Nice pickup… don’t think I have ever seen one in person.

I get that same feeling this time of year as the large expenses on my rental ,properties all come in the first half of the year. I keep thinking "what have I forgotten to pay".
