I had no idea I could look that far back. My first purchase was 2/2004 …..The total money makeover book! 😂

Funniest thing ever, George, having a dog that cost so much. The vet bill of 2000 to tell him his dog is overweight. Too funny😂😂😂😂

We need a episode with Winston! That would be so funny😂

11:37 Rachel, make sure you are getting hands-on training for the use of the Lifevac. The time wasted trying to figure it out in the moment and doing it wrong, is VASTLY more dangerous than doing the Heimlich Maneuver even without proper training. The first thing to do is call 911 if someone is choking (if they can cough or make sounds they are not choking, yet) then perform the Heimlich. Matter of fact, let's make this a moment, for anyone reading this, to go down to your local Red Cross and get certified in emergency first aid and basic life support this month.

I like that George. "Never spend just to save". Always ask yourself, do I need this and if you honest, chances are you don't. Only buy stuff you need, you will save so much more than any deal.

Rachel, we need the link to the trousers! Also, the Guilty as Charged question should have been "Have you ever left an Amazon review?!"

@Rachel- Thanks for making all of our Echos go off and give us the weather report after you told us what Charles has been saying 10x's per day!😂😂

The Baby Brezza is phenomenal. That is one purchase I have zero regret about!

My husband was not thrilled that this made me look back in Amazon.😂😂 in this account his first purchase was a bow and arrows in 2008.

Satin pillowcase is good for preventing wrinkles

OMGosh! Rachel, when you said, "Alexa, what's the weather?" my Alexa answered! 😂

As a retired helicopter flight nurse the Life Vac is a must have. Especially when you have teenager baby sitters watching your kids. Always leave it on the kitchen counter and show the sitter how to use it. I actually purchased one for each of our vechiles in case we’re out at a restaurant or party and an emergency should occur.

You guys are awesome together love the banter 🥰🥰❤❤😂😂 always looking forward to Happy Hour!!!!

Praying for Olive's "recovery" from obesity! 🐶 💕 🐶

I love listening to this show. Now I definitely need to go back and see what my first Amazon purchase was. And Lindsey I got you girl on the no eye contact when on lunch or break. I have a coworker who just talks and talks and talks, even if you have headphones on she will still try to talk to you. It drives me crazy lol.

my husband also loves winston also. he said he was so secure in his manhood to say how handsome winston is. 😂

omg y'all pickin' on toe rings. I haven't taken mine off SINCE THE 90s. 🤣🤣🤣 Don't be hatin'! LOL

Got my first dog.. oh boy george😂 Rachel...satin pillowcase is good for your hair. Hence the bonnet. Your hair doesn't get pulled out from sliding on the cotton cases.. helps control frizziness

Re: George with his toilet auger, I used to have a really old furnace - probably about sixty years old when I finally replaced it - and the pilot light would go out fairly often. I was calling someone to come in a few times a year to re-light it. The last time was on a weekend, and the guy charged me $80 (which was a lot at the time). I said, "OK, but only if you show me how to do it." So, he did, and I re-lit it myself every time after that.

Rachel 100% on the choking awareness..from a pediatric nurse...

I love Rachel! She’s so relatable!

Bought a telastrations game to take to Thanksgiving dinner with family. We loved playing. Worth every penny.

George, toe rings specifically do not go fully under your toe so it doesn't hurt. It's like a 3/4 ring. I don't think I've bought more than 50 things off of Amazon and nothing in the last couple years. I know a lot of people who hate Amazon because the top people get so much of the profits (which is an eye roll for me) but say you can't survive without using Amazon. So I have been putting my money where their mouths are to show them how incredibly easy it is. They hate it so much and I've saved so much money by not having ease of access to whatever I want whenever the thought crosses my mind. It's been a win-win for us.

Omg George had me dying about poor obese Olive! 😂😂😂 my first Amazon purchase was April 2006 🤯

Happy Thanks giving to everyone! So glad I get to watch this while getting ready to spend time with family

It's not sad that I'm listening on Thanksgiving. I listen to your show while cooking and cleaning. I have pumpkin bread in the oven and once it's done I'll head out to see my family:)

I'm dying about the dog! 🤣

17:05 Send Rachel the commercial for the Squatty Potty, it's hilarious!

My kids are now in college, but I am with you George! A formula Keurig would have been life changing!

yes to the satin pillow case its the best !!

This episode was so fun! I love how it was more about spending. Can’t talk about budgeting without being realistic about our spending!

I’m with Rachel on the choking thing. Major fear. But it has actually happened at our house and I’m pretty sure I’m traumatized by it. We also ordered the lifevac, pack of two. One in the car and house. 👍👍 We also have the pipe auger for our home. We have used it so many times and it has paid for items twenty times over.

That baby breeza is no joke! Every new parent should get one. Best purchase we ever did lol.

You guys are absolutely hilarious!! I’m so glad I discovered this channel 👍🏼. Those gut belly laughs are much needed in this crazy world we all live in 😂😂. Don’t stop being authentic and relatable. That’s part of your magic 😂👍🏼💰💵

Rachel just made Alexa tell me the weather🤣🤣

This is my new fave show. I hope that means I'm graduating from Deloney. 🤣

1 year Prime Day saved my tail. We had what my partly Irish 🍀 husband refers to as "Irish twins" (almost) 13 months apart. We were planning a big trip across country with 3 layovers. All we had was this amazingly high and awkward double stroller that was perfect for Park jogs but took up all the room in our car trunk... We couldn't afford a fancy travel stroller I'd drooled over - until Prime day made it 1/2 price - just in time!

My first purchase in Amazon was on 2008, canon powershot camera.

My first Amazon purchase was an electric can opener in 2010. Most of my purchases are home items, electronics and international foods. I place orders about once a week. In 2024, I'm relocating overseas and one of my criteria was the country has to have Amazon or a similar online shopping platform. I actually ruled out countries that don't offer Amazon shopping.

I’m 20 and my first was a iPhone 6 Plus case in 2018

Rachael, all biographies are good for learning about people's lifestyles and behavior ❤

We live half a mile from a Target and a Meijer, so it only takes 20 minutes to get what we need and be back home, or it adds like 5 minutes if we are already out and about. I can't imagine doing 200+ purchases from amazon in a year. We've done 10 in the 11 months of 2023 so far.

I just got a satin pillow not long ago. Yes it’s good for your hair..and yes it’s slippery lol

Omg! My first purchase was in 2003. I bought books for the Paramedic exam.

My first purchase way back in ‘06 was…textbooks. Most recent purchase: reusable silicone Sandwich bags and microwave splash cover.

Love this show! This is so funny!

First: August 2005 - Chemistry textbook for college. Most recent is a BCD inflator hose.

Satin pillow cases are good for your hair. Ask any curly girl!

First Amazon purchase (2008) was a book for my father-in-law and last purchase was a Stanley cup. Ironically both were Christmas presents. Great video. Those purchases do say a lot about our spending! I love these videos!!

We don’t drink alcohol , the mocktails you talk about sound delicious. Is there a location where I could find the cocktail recipes? One spot all together??

HAHAHA!!! My first ever Amazon purchase was in 2007 and it was Dave Ramsey’s Deluxe Executive Envelope System!

I played along, my first purchase was in 2002 and was a Linksys network router 😊

also the life vac is great to have for anyone! As a mama bear i totally agree !

The Steve Jobs biography is a great read.

First purchase was wine themed candle party favors for my sister’s wedding shower that actually never happened in 2012. Then my latest was was 3t undies for my daughter as we’re working on potty training.

I feared choking but I gave my little tons of food. I’m also a certified first responder though so I have absolutely done the heimlich on my baby multiple times for frozen blueberries. He loved them so much. Had to start putting them in those teethers because I was concerned it might be scaring him to choke twice in one sitting. Didn’t stop him from shoving as many into his mouth as possible though.

Yesss.......lifevac! Have had this for 4 years under my kitchen sink!!!

Yes re: the LifeVac! We've had one too for a couple of years. Have never had to use it thankfully but just like you, choking is a huge fear for me with our kids!

Trust me the brezza formula maker is AMAZING and totally worth it! It makes a warm ready to drink bottle in 4 seconds!

Fun to look back.... My first was season one of "the office" on DVD 😆

I’m with George on the baby Breeze. It works wonders. It also has excellent resale value. Purchased for $200 and 1 year later got $100 for it.

Yes 🙌 George everybody needs a squatty potty!!!! We’ve had forever now. 👍 😉 💩

My first order was black leather gloves for my scream ghost face costume back in 2012. Car parts is about all this year.

Rachel, I have you beat by 4 days. We had opened gifts early because my Husband was working Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. He got me my 1st Kindle, so I bought a cover/protector.

I can view purchases so far on my family account to where my mother was purchasing baby books before my birth... that was 1999.

Please share the brand of pants/trousers, Rachel! I've recently lost 70 pounds, and went from a size 18/20 to... Not sure! So I don't want to spend a lot of $$ on pants.

24:22 Yes, please bring Jill Duggar on! 😊

I bought a LifeVac before starting solids with my kid at 6mo. I don't have a fear around gagging or choking but omg so many moms do. I had no idea lol. But I got one for peace of mind anyway lol

My first amazon purchase was in 2004 and it was a calendar.

My first Amazon purchase was a case for a kindle fire I got as a gift

Speaking of making bottles of formula. My life hack was I would prep 4 bottles before bedtime so when I had to get up all I’d have to do is add water and shake. Eliminates just the one step of scooping but in the middle of the night that felt life saving lol

We need the trouser link!!

George, you would truly enjoy the 1960 book by Vance Packard, “The Waste Makers.” I haven’t read your current book cut you might have used it in your research. It’s superb.

My first purchase was a dryer heating element and belt cause the dryer went out and I justified getting Amazon prime because I needed it like now lol and my last purchase was marble run! Haha this is kinda fun

25:20 Waiting is bad.... We used to play 3 or 4 games at a simultaneously (Chess / Risk / Stratego / Uno / etc...). Add that to scarfing pizza and drinking pop while talking and watching music videos made the turns go a lot faster.

I bought the vac too Rachel! I keep it in my diaper bag.

Life Vac is a great idea. I want one. I heard about it on Mike Rowe's podcast

Loved your podcast. Keep them going. Makes me laugh!❤

My first purchase was a cookbook in 2018 followed by a sushi bazooka lol 😂😂😅

Yes me too on silk pillowcase

I want that hospital filters

This was funny!

Hahaha yes that’s true It’s really help to do our business 😅 in the restroom

First purchase: Multithreaded Programming with Win32 by Thuan Q. Pham. (in 2010) Most recent purchase: MG Chemicals 4900P SAC305 Solder Paste No subscribe and saves Purchase you hoped your spouse won't notice: none Yeah, checks out.

My first Amazon purchase was in 1997, a book called The Ghost in the Little House and it was a biography about how Rose Wilder Lane was a ghost writer from her mother Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie series. I still have that book. My most recent purchase arrived yesterday, a bathrobe for my partner for Christmas and a set of dice as a stocking stuffer for my neice. George was spot on about checking the prices. This year I bought a TV series on DVD for my partner for his birthday and a week later they were on "sale " for PRIME day for $10 more than what I paid.

I bought a life vac too! Anything to make sure my baby doesn’t choke

My first purchase was in 2004, I bought 2 Hardy Boys books.

Love love love the pear cocktails!! Recipe for holidays, please?!? Thankful for you all this holiday. Cheers and blessings! (Aside): please no kid named Rosemary - when she has a child of her own, it'd be "Rosemary's baby". Ugh. Hope not ;o) That movie ruined a beautiful name.

I listening to you guys while driving. Happy Thanksgiving

Changing airfilters monthly is important. You can see how dirty your filters are. If they aren't dirty then hold off for another month.

Im old, actually bought a book on Amazon for a 1st purchase. Last thing i puchased was legos for daughter's birthday. Bought a coffee straw, soccer balls, supplements

I start local and if I can’t find it resort to Amazon. There is no such thing as next day delivery for us either.

Baby brezza is the BEST purchase for newborn life. Don't let anyone tell you different, George!

I read Jill Duggers book and Britney Spears book and I never read! Both were so good!!

200 purchases in one year? REALLY, that's like 4 a week.......Just CRAZY!!!!!

I teach every one of my renters to use the toilet auger. Have Yet to be called for a clog😅

lol I got a toliet auger 😂😂😂because my downstairs toliet keeps clogging and i got tired of calling my landlord

and now i have to look back on first purchase lol

Guilty as charged question for the future, "have you ever bought a generic product and put it in the name brand container when it was empty? Eg. When a family member is particular about a certain brand, but you want to see if they'd notice a difference, without them knowing they're eating the generic version." Follow up question, "if you have, did you eventually tell them what you did- especially if they liked it the same?"

My very first purchase on Amazon was Magic Knight Rayearth for Sega Saturn for $100 in 2010. Lol I felt so guilty making such a large purchase at the time 😆
