Prime Purchases in August
It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases; I actually didn't buy much in August after spending so much in July buying all of Alec's dorm things.
Rather than buy and try to fit one more suitcase in the car for our trip, I decided to buy each of the boys a different color of this set of packing cubes. That way we can mix and match their clothes between 2 suitcases and save some money on checked bag fees too.
I couldn't get this book from our library so I bought it.
I bought myself this new fitness tracker
I added this book (with matching workbook) to Evan's pile of possible schoolwork this year.
Giving everyone a different packing cube color is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt's always fun to see your Prime purchases. I wish I could order from Amazon like you do.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could too; it really is convenient.
DeleteI love packing cubes! It is nice to have an easier Amazon month after a busy one. Enjoy your Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteI have never heard of foam soap refills but what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's an item we reorder frequently. One bag usually fills at least 2-3 bottles.
DeleteLove the packing cubes and the soap refills. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI swear by those packing cubes! The foaming soap refills are a great idea too!

Thank you!
DeleteI will look forward to your thought on Democracy in Retrograde!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see I could turn it into a lesson for homeschooling!
DeleteI hate when I can't find a book at my library. 🤣
ReplyDeleteMe too! That's how I ended up with Democracy in Retrograde too but I was thrilled to see I could buy a workbook and turn it into a homeschooling lesson.
DeleteHappy September! All nice purchases, Joanne. What kind of fitness tracker is that?
ReplyDeleteA Bakoor is the brand.
DeleteI have two sets of packing cubes so I think I'll give one to my hubs for our upcoming trip. I ordered new luggage for myself as we needed a new super sized suitcase, so he'll likely put some things in mine and this will make that easier.
ReplyDeleteI think having different cubes definitely makes it easier when mix and matching.
DeleteThose packing cubes look fab, I love the colour and good luck with the fitness tracker.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI need to do these Amazon monthly posts again! Ohh, my daughter loves foaming soap and I didn't know they had huge refill packs like that. I'm more of a regular soap person myself. Haha. I looove packing cubes and my son has his own color, but my daughter is always borrowing my pink ones (I have 2 sets since I pack so much), so I really need to get her own set!

They are so fun! Though they can be a bit dangerous since I often find items I want to add to my cart or wishlist.
DeleteI haven't ever used packing cubes. I have all these zippered bags sheets came in...I'm guessing they work the same as packing cubes. You really didn't buy much this month!

I bet they would work much the same way!
DeleteGreat idea of the packing cubes in different colors!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let us know how the book is
Xoox

I will definitely let you know!
DeleteThe packing cubes will make packing in one big suitcase so much easier! I think that idea would be so good with little kids too. Thanks so much for linking up - hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for hosting!
DeleteI love using the packing cubes and the fitness tracker looks good.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do find it's motivating me to move more.
DeleteI have never used packing cubes... I've always wondered if they were worth it. To me, it just seems like the cubes themselves would add more bulk to the suitcase.
ReplyDeleteI can actually fit quite a bit more in my suitcase with the cubes than without. BUT, it will make the cases heavier so I have to watch that part.
DeletePacking cubes are a must have! Such a good idea to have different colors for each family member! I bet that hand soap smells great!
