What's the last thing you bought?

[KevinD]

Weeeeeelllllll, in this case it's a bit different, lol. About a year ago, I gave my mother a cheap fender acoustic guitar I had bought and no longer needed, as she wanted to start learning guitar too. She came down today, and wanted to go to the guitar store to get a new good guitar I'd been promising her that I'd buy for her. Think $500-750 range.while we were in there, she went to the acoustic room, and came out with a $1400 Taylor. I was playing on a D'Angelica semi hollow electric I'd had my eye on for a bit.Out of my budget though at $1100. To my utter astonishment, she proceeded to buy both and said Merry Christmas (the d'angelico for me and the Taylor for her). To say I was floored is the understatement of the year. I'll post pics of the gits later after I upload them to an image host. Mine is very,very nice, but that Taylor? It's to die for.

Taylor's are fantastic guitars.

I posted pics in my teh guitar thread. I'm going to take the D'Angelico back. It's a great guitar, i'm just not bonding with it. Shrug. Plan is to give the Ibanez EKM10T a try. It seems to be more suited my taste. Unfortunately the store has to order it, so won't have it in my grubby hands until week after thanksgiving.

Hi Ho Silver, Away!

Signed up for one of those meal-prep delivery things, Hello Fresh? It was 50% off the first week with no obligation to continue after, so basically $39 for 3 meals for 2 people with all the ingredients/instructions. Thought it'd be fun and easy a few nights a week to try with the wife, but after the first week it goes up to $80 for the same 3 meals for 2 people, which is probably too expensive for me to continue.

[deebakes]

but it's under $20 per person you hippie, way less than what you pay at your local whole foods food counter

It's like Blue Apron or Nature Box.

Nature Box offers all sorts of wholesome snacks and a large discount on the first shipment. They don't tell you that you're put on a contract and they automatically bill your card something like 50 a month whether you order or not.

Going to the bulk section of Superstore never looked so good for snacks...

[Godfather]

Ya I've looked at Nature Box because it's always getting plugged on podcasts but it's stupidly priced.

I dont think Blue Apron is in Van yet, but it's the same idea. I think there are a few other companies doing the same thing, but they're all fairly expensive, you're just paying for convenience and variety.
