Recent purchases thread
 

Any of you bought anything recently we should all know about, perhaps found an excellent deal somewhere?

I bought this rower recentyl, although second hand. It's awesome.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

That looks better than mine - have a cheap argos one but still plan on bringing it :)

Only recent purchases are UK ones - got a 6Kg, 1400rpm Indesit washing machine for £199 if it counts

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

$49 for a small microwave from K-mart. To tide me over for a month while I have no kitchen.
And today a set of chrome lever taps for the ensuite- $99 from Bunnings.

Stinger suits for the children, so they're ready for the beach, should summer ever decide to arrive.

ETA: They were in the sale at the Cancer Council.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

I've had a busy few weeks

House
64" TV
710L fridge
3 peice leather sofa
Pugalier puppy
iPhone 5
8 zone security alarm
2 WiFi security cameras
and 2nd hand lawnmower/blower/trimmer from a gardener mate.

I'd recomend the cameras. Made by Foscam and you can move them about via an app on your mobile. Just set it up so it emails me on motion detection etc. Quite impressive for the price.

Ironing board cover, last summer, 5 bucks. (Pattern starting to fade - caveat emptor).

Bag of Aborio Rice, Costco - less than a few bucks I should think.

:thumbup:

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Cyclone spade from Bunnings - $55, Australian made. Chinese made one was $40.

I'm now sick of digging holes.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Also, this guy. Amazon Kindle touch 3g.

Not very impressed with the 3g coverage and it's nowhere near as nice to hold/turn pages as the Kindle Keyboard. But still an awesome ereader. I settled for this as the Paperwhite is too far off yet.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

I got a good Cyclone a few years back. It's all rusty and knackered where the metal spade has hit dirt but it will last a while.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Recently setup a garden 2 seater Swing Chair - just right for sitting outside, feet up, with a beer and a book and not getting toasted.

Currently looking what I am going to have to buy for other people for Christmas....

Cough ....

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Brought a preloved kindle keyboard 3G for $60.....

Bloke had brought a fire so passed it down the foodchain....

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Jealous, I wish I had the keyboard again

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

New seat covers for the patio chairs and 2 new sun lounge cushions as well cos the outlaws arrive at weekend for 3 months :eek:. Oh yes and a new brolly !

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

French cheesecake from Coles. 3 dollar.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

You know, I'll second that Coles cheesecake... and their home brand Belgian chocolate is pretty good too. And their choc chip biscuits. :o Not that I'm touching that "stuff" at the moment.

In lieu of chocolate, I bought a Christmas tree decoration today.

One of those glass breakable types. Gold, pine cone like. Could have spray painted a real one I suppose but the spray paint would cost more than the breakable one. :unsure:

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

I've got the keyboard :wub: If it ever needs replacing, I'll get the Paperwhite. Trouble is, I keep touching the screen and wondering why I can't turn the pages. :lol:

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

H.P. Printer for $47.00 (saves me switching on the $13,000 ones for just the odd sheet of paper) - very good quality print.

Most of the things that I get in Aldi. :thumbsup: Been looking for decent washing up liquid. Aldi cheapo crappo at 99c is just fine.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

If the page turn gesture on the touch was the same as the iPad, it would be fine. But the keyboard is still thinner and nicer to hold. The Paperwhite is just as big as the touch.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Oooh, one of the things that I forgot we packed was a can of gold spray paint:thumbup: Just wish I was arty and patient enough to do all those wonderful crafty things I could do with it:unsure:

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Today I will be buying .....

Gas, electricity, water, refuge collection and other services, bread, milk, eggs tea coffee, sugar, butter, baked beans, baked beans, baked beans, beaked beans, baked beans, potatoes, salad stuff, baked beans (think thats this weeks meals planned) and a lump of cheese, a reggo some insurance...

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Canon SX260HS camera a few weeks back.

Did alot of research and ended up with a shortlist or 2, Ted's cameras were doing this for $279 so I made the purchase.

takes great pictures, but I'm even more impressed with the wuality of the video it takes, much better than my little handheld video camera.

5 copies of Irish Shades of Grey (preordered from Amazon) for Christmas presents. It's a collection of tweets gathered into a small book, 75% proceeds to charity and it's freakin hilarious (especially if you're Irish!). Winner.

Electric guitar shaped rattler for baby nephew for Christmas.

Awesome BonJovi/music inspired makeup palette from TheBalm for ME :p

By mistake? :D

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Purchased a while back, but THE best thing I have ever bought.... An IRobot... Couldn't live without it!!

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

:lol: Just had her Formal.;)

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

I must try that look. I need a change from the grey streaks. :D

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Do they work?

I Robot is a very good album by Alan Parsons. I bought that about 30 years ago and it was probably expensive so really shouldn't be mentioned here.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

You may find it easier to do the other side - buzz cut.:lol:

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

They are very good. The cars are about $73, the radio is $15, batteries are $5 each but you really need at least 2. As the batteries are LiPo, you need a specialised charger which will be about $100 for something remotely decent.

So about $100 plus charger for a whole heap of fun.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

A steam mop. Not one to gush about household gadgets but I love it and it will save me time and ensure I clean my floors more often.

Re: Recent purchases thread
 

Got a load of this yesterday....
