Amazon Prime Purchases - March

It is time for another round of what did buy from Amazon Prime in March? I am a little embarrassed by how much I purchased. This month felt like a Christmas month. I mostly bought household items because you find them in bulk and for much cheaper than most stores. Not always though.

So what did we buy this last month?

So lets start with some repurchases:
Fairy Tales Everyday Conditioner

This is our favorite conditioner for the girls and they were recently out of it. Instead of getting the small bottle, I got the 32 ounce one. It comes with a pump and should last them way longer.

Bob's Red Mill Pancake Mix

If I don't make homemade pancakes, then I make these pancakes or waffles. They are the best and we love them. I just can't find them locally anymore.

Crest Gum Detoxify Toothpaste

This is the toothpaste that I use. Rory and the girls use different versions of Tom's toothpaste.

Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner

I go back and forth between these and the Tide washing machine cleaner tabs. I love them both and I think it is good to change it up in my ever so picky washing machine.

Now onto some baseball/softball items that I had to purchase for the girls.
Girls Softball Pants

The girls needed softball pants and I had the hardest time finding some. These are still big in the waist even though they are the smallest size. So I got them a belt below as well.

Rawlings Baseball Glove

I also was behind on getting the girls new baseball gloves. They had ones that were meant for tee-ball and were far too small. I found these online in the correct hand (they are right handed) and scooped them up. When we went to 3 stores in town, they only had left hander gloves (like me!).

Adjustable Kids Sports Belt

Since their pants don't fit them very well, I needed belts. I got them black ones so they can wear them for other seasons.

Rawlings Baseball Socks

I got the girls purple socks to match their uniforms. And I got them over the calf ones for softball. Let's hope they are long enough.

Now onto other random items:
Locking Tweezers

This is a very random purchase. I bought this last week to see if I could get the girls earrings out myself. The girls have body piecing style earrings in their ears. Meaning they have a flat back and the ball is threaded onto the post. I tried using some needle nose pliers to hold it and my fingers but that didn't work. I called the piercing shop and they recommended these plus some latex or medical gloves for a better grip on the ball. Otherwise I can't get in for a few weeks and the girls need them out for their first game on Friday.

Eye Shadow Brush Set

I got these for the girls Easter baskets. They are very into make up right now and I usually put it on for them. They have many colors now, so these are something they could definitely use.

Affresh Dishwasher Cleaning Tabs

I have never cleaned out my dishwasher since we got it. Someone reminded me how gross it can get, so I got these and used one. Everything smelled so much better after using it.

Pirate Telescope

I got this for our friends sons birthday party. He loves everything pirates. It comes with a nice box too.

Garbage Disposal Cleaner

This is another random purchase. I cleaned the rubber lip of the garbage disposal and it was soooo gross. And we had this smell coming from the garbage disposal, so I started looking for solutions. This one is really cool to watch. With a small stream of water, you turn on the disposal with this packet in it and it foams up blue foam while it cleans. So much better now.

2 Light Up Pirate Swords

This was the second part of the pirate birthday gift.

Full Coverage Tie Bikini

Now I have debated on what kind of swimsuit to wear this summer. I really want one from Andie Swim that is a one piece (and I still may get it), but I also love bikinis. This one has a full back coverage, ties in the sides to fit you well and is adjustable. Now I haven't worn a triangle top in a long time, but we shall see if this one works. One of my blogger/IG friends who lives local swears by it. And she is a mom of 4.

Synthetic Nitrile Gloves

We didn't have any latex or nitrile gloves in our house at all and I need to get those earrings out if I can, so I bought these in hopes they will help get a grip on the ball for the girls earrings.

Kut from the Kloth Mia Skinny Jeans

I mentioned these jeans in a Friday Favorites post. I love them. I think my favorite part is the button fly. I miss pants like these. And they stretch through the day, so I recommend ordering a size down.

Dryer Vent Cleaner

I also mentioned this in the same Friday favorites post. I have used this thing twice and I am amazed at how much lint comes out of the vent. I had so much the first time that I had to unclog the hose. Plus this is a major fire hazard, so I definitely recommend this item!

What did you buy this month on Prime?

  3. Love that conditioner for Zoe's hair, when we finish our current bottle...I am going to do what you did and get the bigger one with the pump. That would make things so much easier! I hope the girls love playing softball, how fun! I just got a pair of jeans with a button fly and I am shocked by how much I love them!

    1. It is so much easier to use with the pump too. The girls can get their own out now. No more mom smacking the bottle against my hand to get it out. So far they are loving softball. They have their first game tomorrow. I love button fly so much more than regular jeans.

  4. Oh man... I LOVED button fly jeans! I could pop all those buttons fast when I had to run to the bathroom LOL

  5. We bought the lint remover a couple of years ago and boy does it get out a lot of lint that escaped the catcher.

  7. I didn't buy anything on Prime last month! I think that is the first and only time I can say that. I do have those washing machine and dishwasher tabs though and I love them.

    1. It is amazing and so satisfying. I did get them out finally, but it took that kit to get them out. From now on they will wear easier earrings to get out.

    1. They are the best and don't have a lot of crap ingredients in them. It has been great. I use it a lot now. I am overly worried about a house fire from the lint.
