    I found an online version of Asteroids that's just like the arcade game. Playing it using a keyboard is a struggle, so I just bought my first ever game controller:

    The price is $17.
    The cost is hours of my time.

    The last online purchase I made was a new macro/portrait lens a month or so ago.

    Nikon Z 100mm F/28 S Macro.

    Nice lens!

    I got sucked in the Prime Day sales and picked up a few deals. Another Aerogarden Harvest model that usually sells for $119 was $49 so I couldn't resist. Also bought a shade cloth triangle "sail" for the backyard. Since our palm trees lost most of their fronds during the freeze last winter there is not enough shade out there.

    Walmart has some great dish pods for a great price and they are trying to compete with amazon with free delivery for $35 and up. So I ordered two cases of ramen creamy chicken and 16 lbs of my cat's favorite dry cat food which is hard to find, often. The other flavors are there but not his orange bag. o_O I guess all cats like it best.

    And good grief one more Aerogarden. :oops: I have no idea where I'll put it but another sale sucked me in, plus I "needed" it to start my fall garden seeds in. :rolleyes:

    Waaaaaahhhhhhhh...
    I didn't get my $35 electric bicycle!!!:(:(:(
    I followed the tracking and it was a long journey that ended in it 'being delivered' July 15th.
    Except it never got delivered to MY address.
    So I called my credit card company that has a new policy of being especially helpful. And even though the service rep commented that it was an 'especially good deal', he barely chuckled.
    Wanted to know if I'd contacted the seller.
    I tried but no such site--anymore.
    I wanted that bike even tho it was silly to expect it.:oops:

    Yours was so small, no one can see it. Check the tracking numbers. It is probably in your mailbox.

    Potato bags, cause the person who wanted the Turmeric plant with lots of tubers ( I advertised it for free on gumtree ) I had growing in a pot , gave me two different varieties of seed potato’s.
    I fear they may be a little to big but I figured I can possibly fold them down or only use half the bag
