I bought my wife a Townie 21D. The 9sp balloon-tired model was cool with its drum brakes, but I couldn't guarantee that it'd have enough low end for her. I tell ya, though their "Flat Foot Technology" is exactly what she wanted.

$6 WANDA 700x25c tyres for my commuter (which had awful studded tyres lol) brand new, for real (although they're very low quality obviously, but miles better than what it had since they're slicks)
$1 pair of brand new "power grip" grips for the same bike
$3 black steel bottle cage (new as well)
sometimes cycling in a third world country ain't so bad. I was priced $18 for a brand new pair of 700c rims as well.
Of course, you go to a real cycling shop and everything costs 10x more (not exaggerating) and isn't 10x better, but at the moment I'm on a roadie hiatus while I save for a decent bike. I still ride daily though, in my commute.

A used Fit Bike (position simulator). A local bike shop had it listed on eBay so I saved shipping charges by picking it up. I've wanted one for a long time.

Replaced the Bontrager Maxi Pad Gel Tape with Fizik. I had Fizik in the past and loved it, so it was time to go back.

FSA energy new ergo bars (really like them compared to my old ones, stock easton EA30):

I bought a bunch of Hammer stuff. Used PSIMET's link in his siggy, so if he reads this... you owe me 
Got some gel, Recoverite, some kind of race day nonsense, and Perpetuem.

They been on order for about 6 months, but my ZIPP 808 Carbon Clinchers finally showed up. They will end up on the TT bike, but I wanted to play with them a little first.

Satisfying my a**. A new saddle and longer, lighter seatpost.
I also got their little 5nm torque wrench. Don't get it, it doesn't change bits.
