you mean, if you buy both items on the same day, you use "and" And
if you buy one item on separate days, you use"or?"

It doesn't matter which day.
If you think of the two activities as combined - the same day, the same week, the same month but for the same house - then you can use "and." If you think of them as separate activities, even if they are on the same day, the use "or."
