I am shopping around for some gifts for others and things for me....no major purchases needed this weekend...but they're coming later.

Not really, I should start working on getting gifts for the little folks though.. Nothing happens, except mystery shopping around the beginning of the new month.

I bought some boat neck sleeveless T's, a long sleeved boat neck T, black pants, khacki pants at Gap.com. All cotton and there was a a sale, LOL. I love everything I received. For wee ones, Paddington Bears that my DDs bought from Ebay. We're going to each have to stuff one in our luggage. Gifting cash as well. I bought an 11X14" Kitchen Aid cutting board from Kohl's. Had to pay shipping but I couldn't find it locally. I want to go induction but am undecided.

I ended up buying a bit more than expected, but only because I have some plans coming up and won't have time to shop then for what I'll need then. lol....some new travel gear mostly.
And....supplies to re-sole my own hiking boots...first time ever to try out some new cobbling skills...not really, lol - just found instructions online....cement, clamps, soles, sander, cobblers hammer....lol.
***I've learned the minimums for free shipping have gone up. Most places at least $100 maybe $75....Amazon claims free shipping with Prime, but their prices are often higher - probably to recover shipping costs - you pay either way lol.

@BarefootBliss - Great idea to re-sole the hiking boots, as they already have been broken-in and such!

If my total price doesn’t meet the minimum to get free shipping, I add stuff to my cart (don’t need to do that often though). Make sure it’s returnable, then I do just that.

I also have Prime and a Sam’s membership. A month or so ago, Walmart offered their plus membership for $49 for the first year. Includes free shipping with no minimum, Paramount+, free pharmacy delivery, free grocery delivery with $35 purchase, access to free online access to a veterinary and other stuff. I’ve never been much of a Walmart customer, but I’m trying this for a year. So far, I’m pleased. Got a hose cart and nice garden bench that was less expensive than Amazon and the savings paid for my Wally’s membership. Most likely, I won’t renew with Sam’s.

I know the 35 pack at Costco is 19.35, so you save even more.
