What do you currently need to buy?

I once went to the grocery store for baby carrots and walked out with almost $200 of groceries.
This is me.
We need milk. We are currently out. I ran a bunch of errands, but hitting the grocery store was not on it. I'll make my husband go later.
 
Vodka , lemons, scrapple, cinnamon rolls, old bay, milk, french or sourdough rolls and maybe some fire starters.
 

A laptop Or desktop. I just started working from home and I’m using my iPad. It doesn’t have all the functions a laptop does and easy task take multiple steps on an iPad . I’m doing my best and trying not to break down and have to buy one. I know even a cheap one will add up. I’m in budget mode

A lamp for my bedroom. I have a really nice Mickey Mouse lamp like the ones the Grand Floridian has (or did back in 2002). My mom bought for me to replace the one my daughter not so accidentally broke. But the it doesn’t stay on. I’m tired of fighting it.

Oh and a washer and dryer. I’ve been putting that one of since summer. Home Depot won’t bring them inside because of COVID and no way I can do it myself.
 
A new dishwasher and socks. Hoping that my dishwasher hangs on for a while so I don't have to have a serviceman in my home.
 
Refrigerator. I was going to buy a freezer (but the virus stopped that) but now I have a table and chairs which I didn't before and the freezer was going to go where that is now. I have a small basic fridge which needs replaced and I prefer freezer on the bottom (took me forever to stop opening the freezer on top to get to my fridge, LOL.) Freezer on the bottom will probably double my freezer space if not more.

I need to replace my car as it is so difficult to see out of it is dangerous. With how raked the windshields are these days, it's like looking out a cruise ship porthole in small cars. Wasn't even on my mind when test driving as I hadn't experienced how the new cars are now.

Need to replace the crash bar and the rear crash bar that protects the hard bags on my motorcycle. I hit a deer back in October. Blinded by everyone's fancy blazing LED lights, a deer head appeared in my right auxillary light and THUMP THUMP THUMP. It's head thumped off the bracket that holds the lowers (wind deflectors), the front crash bar, and the rear one. Those aren't necessary but without the crash bar, it would have hit my leg and probably put me down. All that happened was I was knocked over towards the center of the road.

I need those 3 things. There's a lot I want, but all else is not a need. I suppose you could say the motorcycle stuff isn't a need as I don't need to have the motorcycle.

Oh, I need propane for the grill as that's my main way of cooking.
 
Just got back from the grocery store: It was fruit, veggies, potatoes, yogurt, ice cream, sour cream, butter, bread, lunch meat, and cheese. Big purchase need is furniture and a mattress. Been living like college students with a 14 year old mattress on the floor and have all put together furniture which is falling apart. Unfortunately everything is a 6-9 months wait due to Covid. Other things falling apart and need to be replaced is dinnerware, silverware, etc.
 
My new Apple TV unit with remote should be delivered tomorrow
Also a pair of knitting needles that I need for a new project
 
color pencils

because I always want more color pencils

OK, so maybe I don't really NEED them. LOL
 
Matching Disney shirts for me and my two girlfriends who decided to to take a last minute AP expiration (my one friend who has decided not to renew) girls trip!! So excited leaving all the kids and hubby’s at home 😊. I don’t have an AP but I have a really old no expiration ticket that has 7 days left on it. So that’s one thing I don’t need to buy. 2 of us like the matching shirt idea the 3rd is not convinced, we are going to the sawgrass character warehouse Disney store tomorrow to see what we can find.
 
A hot water heater. But code has changed and the piping will need to be changed or we will need to convert to tankless. Either way, this is going to be expensive. (I know because my neighbor, whose home was built at the same time ours was, just went through it last summer.) We are hoping to be able to put it off to this summer though.
 
I need new clothes. All my clothes are like 7 years old and all faded. I just hate trying stuff on!
 
Need a new shower curtain. We renovated our bathroom last summer/fall and need to replace the shower curtain to match the new colours. I don’t want to order online as I want to see it in person. Also a new kitchen faucet. DH replaced ours about a year ago and we hate it. It doesn’t move/swivel! It’s so hard to use. Also our printer died so need a new one. That has been one crazy year for things breaking down - new bed, new fridge, new hot water tank, toaster (old one was smoking). Also sour cream. Just got an online/curb side grocery order almost $400 and forgot sour cream! We don’t go into stores at the moment.
