Amazon Prime Purchases - October

This month I bought a lot because I ordered all of our Halloween costumes on Amazon. Plus some other things that we needed around the house. So this month was another big order month and I know the next few months will be as well!

Dog Probiotics
Essential Pet Probiotics with Direct-fed Microorganisms for Digestive Support in Dogs

Walter has been on daily probiotics since January. We couldn't find this brand the last time he needed a refill, so we went with another brand. It was in packets and way harder to portion out. I found his old one on Amazon and purchased it.

Callus Remover
Foot Callus Remover

This is sort of a gross purchase, but after the Summer and wearing sandals daily, my feet were just awful. I get pedicures, but between them, my feet just needed a little fix up. This one is amazing. You can use it on soaked or dry feet.


We are going as characters from Toy Story and bought everything from Amazon. I had to return my leotard and get a new one since the one I received fit me everywhere but the length. The new one is a bit big, but I am going to make it work.

Security Camera and Doorbell Camera

Conico Wifi Video Doorbell

Conico Outdoor Security Camera

We have been wanting to get a doorbell camera for several years and never did. Plus we wanted a camera for in the backyard as well. I don't know why it took us this long to get them, but we finally have them up and installed.

L'Oreal Paris Mascara Primer

L'Oreal Paris Mascara Primer

I use this stuff before I put on my mascara every time I wear eye make-up. This stuff is amazing and cheap. Don't waste your money on expensive primers.

Lululemon Align Legging Dupes
Lululemon Align Legging Dupes

I heard these were Lululemon Align Legging Dupes and by first impressions, they feel like them. I have worn them once and they are currently in the laundry, so I am not sure how well they wash just yet. They are really soft, high waisted and long enough. I did the bend over test to make sure you couldn't see through them and you can't. They don't suck you in as much as the Lululemon ones do, but these are an amazing dupe. I will be ordering another pair of these.

Cotton Gloves
Cotton Gloves

I took Avery to the doctor two weeks ago since her hands were just getting sooo bad. She had cuts, raw knuckles and scabs all over her hands and it was getting worse. She has a case of eczema and the aftermath of washing her hands so much. She was giving an anti-inflammatory and an anti-bacterial creams plus a heavy lotion/cream for her hands. At night, she needed gloves and they recommended these, but they sent the wrong size. I sent them back and we just used clean small gloves.

Bike Inner Tubes
Bike Inner Tubes

One of the girls bikes had a flat and it wouldn't stay pumped up. We have changed one tire tube in the past, so I looked for those ones, but they didn't have them. I found a two pack and they worked perfectly for their 16 inch bikes.

Hot Pink Belt
Hot Pink Sports Belt

After shopping around in Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Target, I couldn't find any pink belts or material that I could make a belt out of for my Halloween costume. I found this one and bought it since it would arrive in time and looked similar to the one on the movie cover. Amazon had one that was even closer, bit it was way more expensive.

What did you buy this month?

  7. So glad the costumes worked out, y'all looked so cute! Yay, I am glad you like the leggings. Don't put them in the dryer. I always air dry all of mine anyway, but was careful to do that with those, just in case!

  10. I loved the halloween costume picture you posted on Instagram! So cute!!! We have a ring door bell and wyze cameras through our house looking inside and out. It is so nice to be able to check on things without being a creeper in the window lol. I will have to check those leggings out.

  11. I feel for you with the gloves; my youngest two have eczema on their hands and it is so hard to keep it under control.

  12. Loved all your costumes. My husband's finger tips crack during the winter. He usually moisturizes and then wears latex gloves.. never thought out cotton gloves. Will look into them.

    1. The girls pediatrician said the cotton gloves are better since they don't rub on the wounds. And thank you. We had fun dressing up!
