All delivery drivers are instructed to either ring the bell or knock on the door then put the parcel down and move 2 metres away Taf.

Quite a lot of people have to self isolate and that in itself will mean far more shopping is sourced online plus many parents are at home with their children and given that they cannot put their grandparents at risk by them looking after the children more parents are having to shop online.

I paused my SkySports and BT Sport subscription, and decided to buy an Amazon Fire 4K stick with the money saved. I placed an order for the firestick on the 27th at £49.99, it was delivered yesterday. Today on the Amazon site it's been reduced to £29.99, so I contacted them and asked them if they could offer me anything as a gesture of goodwill. Straight away they applied a refund of £19.99 to my debit card. I wish other companies were as obliging and easy to deal with.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I’m glad to hear they did that for you. I’ve always found their CS excellent (and I’ve had more than a few free Prime membership extensions in compensation for really rather minor issues).

However if you buy as much from them as our family does, you begin to spot the regular oscillations in price of their popular tech items, especially the Echo/Alexa enabled stuff. I’d never buy anything from that range at full price because it always goes on sale 2-3 times a year, often with up to 50% off.

I’m guessing your sports savings are enough to fund Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ for at least a couple of months. I’m happy to recommend all three of them. Apple TV, however (which I seem to have as a free bolt-on to my Apple Music student subscription) has thoroughly failed to excite, with the single exception of the alt-history Apollo moon landings drama, For All Mankind, which sadly stopped after about 10 episodes.

Used to use CamelCamelCamel to watch prices but now disabled (in Europe) to help load but on some items I was looking at clear that there were huge price rises in last day or so and many of those items (exercise) are out of stock or hugely more expensive.

Over the past week or two I've been (sort of) playing my guitars (6 string & bass) using headphones through the output socket of my old Zoom effects unit . .

It just isn't good enough, so today I decided a new amp was the only decent thing to do ;)

Home playing only, and capable of being used with both guitars, I've splashed out on a Peavey Vypyr VIP 2 . . . . being stuck indoors is getting expensive :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Have you looked in the bulk buy section assuming your Tesco Extra has one. Ours is selling multi packs of 3. Loads in stock but no individual bottles on the shelves.

New vacuum as old one started to produce a strong electrical smell. It was fairly old and been duck taped in places. Wife wanted a corded upright even though cylinders are more highly rated so gone for a slightly older Shark model that's rated well by Which?

Wanted to get a pasta maker but the one book marked on Amazon is now out of stock and 3rd party sellers want £30 more than Amazon. Save money.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

All you need to make pasta is a bowl and a rolling pin.
