Because of the "what's for dinner" thread, I just bought some otherwise expensive spices as prime day deals.

Last night hubby got me a Bowling Ball wheeled bag, I have one I got at a thrift store a few years and it has been doing it's job but it is rather flimsy and where we go now there is a bit of a walk through the parking lot and it is a chore.

So that's about it for us this year. Nothing too special, my shoes came yesterday, they are Puma which is not my usual brand and so I was taking a chance on size

We got rather spoiled in Seattle (or more exactly Renton). We were about 7-10 miles between the main distribution in Issaquah, and the food distribution in Kent and could indeed order things to be delivered within hours if needed... yeah, you had to pay for that.

I know a lot of people have anti-Amazon sentiments, I guess I can understand that but in my work history during the Dot-com crash we were going to be the first provider of things like bookcases and desks and things to store the things that Amazon originally sold, books and music. We were setting up trade deals with China (when that first opened) to make Ikea style and quality furniture but delivered for the same or lower price. Unfortunately at that point the software for the selling wasn't developed yet (2 months behind) and we crashed along with the other dot-coms.

Anyway, I'd rather buy from small providers on Amazon and have a local person deliver my goods, than to buy from Walmart. We all make our choices.
