Hey, y’all! As I stated in my post last Monday, I have recently started being more intentional about where I spend my money, and therefore, I have cut back significantly on purchases from Amazon. While I’m not going to stop shopping there completely (there are several items that I use that are not sold anywhere else / are hard to find anywhere else / are less expensive on Amazon), I am currently being more mindful about the things I purchase there. Therefore, today’s post is going to be short and sweet! You ready to see what I purchased from Amazon in the month of March?
Braces Flossers
These flossers are much less expensive than the Platypus flossers, and the only
place I have been able to find them so far is Amazon. It was time for a refill for Jacob, so I grabbed
a pack. I ended up grabbing two more
packs during the spring sale at the end of the month because they are on sale.
These flossers are awesome for people with braces, and they make flossing with braces a breeze. I hate flossing and so do our kids, but these make the job quick and easy. Jacob and I both use these and Olivia will soon be using them, too, as she will have to get braces later this year.
Turmeric
I love my turmeric, and I take it daily, and it was time for a refill. Amazon does usually have the best price on
this, so I purchased a refill from them.
Taking turmeric daily has done absolute wonders for the inflammation in
my body, which has, in turn, improved so many aspects of my health.
Magnesium
Lycinate Glycinate
I also take this magnesium for muscle relaxation, and I love it. Amazon has the best price, by far, and I was able to snag a bottle for 25% less than what I paid for it the last time because it was on super sale.
Flonase
Sensimist
And finally, I needed a refill on my beloved Flonase Sensimist. This is something I use daily for my allergies – I haven’t had a stuffy nose since I started taking this seven years ago – and Amazon almost always has the best price. Plus, Walmart didn’t have it in stock at all when Brian checked the other day.
And that was it for me!
Since my purchases were so few this month, I thought I would include some of Brian’s… he and I use the same Prime membership, but we have separate accounts, so I never post his purchases. I do 90% of the purchasing for our home anyway, so he doesn’t purchase nearly as much as I do. Here are all of his Amazon purchases from the last several months…
24-Inch Zip
Ties
A huge portion of our privacy fence fell over in a storm back in February, and there was no way to repair it easily as one of the posts snapped in half. Brian needed to get it back up, though, because it was laying in our neighbor’s yard, so he temporarily secured it with these 24-Inch zip ties. It has been over a month and we’ve had a couple of serious storms with tons of wind, and I’m happy to report that it’s still standing. These things are STRONG.
USB C Cables
Brian and I got new iPhones that have the new ports, so we had to replace all of our old cables. He bought this multi-pack on Amazon and they are all working great! I have one in my bedroom, one in my car, one in my office, one in our kitchen, and various other places. This pack is great because it gives you different lengths that you can use for your different needs. It’s also currently 15% off as a Big Spring Deal.
USB C Cables
This was another pack of cables that he purchased. We use a ton of cables in this house!
Lock Laces
These lock laces turn any pair of shoes into tieless shoes. Brian purchased these for himself, and he now never has to tie his tennis shoes... he can just slip them on and go. They come in loads of colors and they would be perfect for kids who don’t want to tie their shoes! They are one size fits all for kids and adults!
Wicked Blu-Ray
This was purchased for Olivia’s Wicked themed birthday sleepover. At the time, it was about the same price to stream it as a rental, so he just went ahead and purchased it.
Otter Box
iPhone Cases
Brian and I had to purchase new phone cases since we just got new phones and we will always and forever love Otter Box. I’ve already dropped my phone two or three times (once was really bad because it was in the driveway) and this case protects it like none other. It comes in tons of colors and patterns, too. I opted for ballet shoes pink (surprise, surprise) and Brian opted for black.
Apple Watch
Series 10
This was an early birthday gift for me as my Apple Watch was old and on its last leg. I love it so much – it’s soooo pretty and the battery lasts foreverrrr! It’s also currently on sale for 25% off.
Happy Monday, y’all!

I am also an Ottor box loyalist. These are all good, practical finds on Amazon. I am trying to resist a few more urges to make so many random purchases. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I love my Otter boxes and Amazon prices on those are SO much cheaper than the phone stores with a nice selection to pick from too.
ReplyDeleteYou're making me want a new apple watch since my battery definitely doesn't last!
ReplyDeleteThere are a few things that I only buy off Amazon especially when I know they cost more elsewhere like air fryer liners and some cleaning products.
ReplyDeleteThe turmeric sounds great and the magnesium too.
I watched Wicked this weekend and loved it! Also, thanks for the camera recommendation a few months ago. I just sent the link to Grace since she was thinking of getting a camera. They are really popular now with her age group!
ReplyDeleteWicked is just so, so good! We are seeing it on Broadway when we go to NYC this summer and I can't wait!
