purchases

Things you bought

Purchases are things that have been bought.

The word emphasizes the transaction—items become purchases once money changes hands: She loaded her purchases into the car.

As a verb form, purchases means buys: The company purchases raw materials from local suppliers.

The noun carries a slightly more formal tone than simply calling things "stuff I bought."
