A whole lot of Easter candy. I'm in charge of dessert for Easter dinner (a large crowd including kids), and my cake and cookies will all include some type of candy- Peeps, mini Cadbury Creme eggs, M&Ms, and Whoppers Robin Eggs.
Some 80s DC figures I bought online arrived. Superman, Hawkman and Green Lantern from the Super Powers line, and Iron Winch Batman from the 1990 Dark Knight Collection (with which Kenner replaced ToyBiz as the toy licence holder for the Batman movies):
The Batman figure fits in pretty well with the Super Powers figures, they even seem to have used the same sculpt for the upper body muscles. And I like how the cloth cape can be draped over his shoulders:
All in very good shape, look mint to my eyes, and I paid around 60 bucks for the lot.

Cat food for my fur baby, via Amazon.
We got that too! I'm looking forward to it.
Girl Scout Cookies. The kids caught me on the way IN to the grocery store.
Well played, girls. You had me at Peanut Butter Patties.

Nice! I have a copy of that album too.slowly putting together my old collection from back in the 80s......
This one come today
Got some groceries and a $10 eshop card.
Finally getting a new mattress. I was tired of sleeping in the valley of the old one.
I need to do that, too. Same reason, plus my husband died on that mattress.
Today, I bought a pair of khakis from JC Penny.
That one sentence pretty well sums up the sorry state of my life.

I've spent way to much money in the last few days, and I have another not really purchase coming up.
Yesterday was Arizona Gives Day, so I donated to one local animal sanctuary, and am in the process of setting up a tour at another, which I'll have to pay for.
I also bought some groceries, and ended up donating to another sanctuary in NJ after they put out a plea for help after some bad stuff happened. I wasn't going to donate to the NJ sanctuary at first, but I felt so bad for the woman who runs it, that I had to do something to help them out.

Surprise, surprise, I just ordered two more American Girl outfits. One was a jacket for 80s girl Courtney that I'd been planning to get for months, the other is new pajamas for my 1940s girl, Nanea!
I bought a Traeger Timberline 850 yesterday for $400 under msrp - store uses them as a loss leader. I love smoking food and bbqing and this is a super expensive grill but is four season - I'll be cooking brisket overnight when it's - 30 C out. It is delivered tomorrow.
I bought a new to me car today. 2019 Rav 4 LE AWD. Only 18,000 km. They were under on my lease thanks to covid stopping me from driving, every week I owned it they owed me more money. Plus they had people wanting to buy it themselves. So they offered me a good deal on the Rav 4 which was what I was wanting all along and settled for the corolla originally because it was an emergency purchase. Which worked really well for me because my lease was messing up my mortgage application, my broker had advised me to get rid of it ASAP. So everything kinda worked out for once.
Still second guessing myself that I could have negotiated a lot harder, and have every time I bought in the past, but the price on this was already so low and square in the blue and black book values that I knew there wasn't anywhere to go. Still, I got a few hundred knocked off and a set of free winter tires along with the all season so I can't say I didn't get anything.
I grew up pretty poor. Family of 5 living on one parent working part time at a department store. So spending $50 makes me a little sick to my stomach. This week has me awake all night with anxiety

I bought a ticket for Star Trek the Motion Picture.
