No. We were shopping for a new car, and when all the Covid stuff started, got a great offer from a dealership on one we had looked at. But we decided to wait anyway, and am glad we did--SIP is lasting longer than anyone thought it would, and DH's work has decided to have many of the employees start working from home permanently. We are going to give it some time, and if the wfh situation works out, it'll change what we were thinking of getting.

Large upright freezer (best purchase this year). I love having extra freezer space! We buy chicken breasts in bulk.
I just found out that DH ordered a 12’ screen and projector so we can show movies in the backyard. That sounds fun! We have a vinyl fence in our backyard and I think it would be perfect for movies.
We replaced our broken AC unit. Not really Covid related, but sort of...being home all day makes it convenient to get the AC guy to come when someone is home. Yeah, at the beginning of the year we replaced our AC and the water heater because it was needed.
Our purchases are mostly for the "honey do" list. New smoke alarms, new breaks on the car, installing a door blocking the stairs to the unfinished basement, and having an exterminator come to our house.
Next purchase is a five-star car seat for adults.

We’ve been thinking about buying a pontoon boat. We had a ski boat for many years when the kids were little. We live close to several big lakes and would keep it docked and ready to go for evenings and weekends.

Many great memories of cruisin' the lake in the party boat. Have fun making memories.

A second chest freezer for the garage (there are six of us...) We ordered it last month, I finally got a notice that it actually shipped and will be here next week.
