Even if I feel flush I will not buy.....

[enoughofthenonsense]

Following on from the event thread here about no compromises

I will not buy even if I feel loaded I'm not really

Heinz beans
Ketchup
Easter/ Christmas gimmick choc
Posh oats
Sugary cereals
Fizzy pop
White bread
Flowers ( they're cut so already 💀)
Most things from a big brand( I buy mostly own brand)

Amongst others.
I'm also a clean and tidy miserable shite person who does not like breakfast in bed because I don't want crumbs and food in the bedroom.

Anybody care to join in? NC because I'm sure I'll be flamed or somebody will be offended.

NomDeQwerty IMO Dominos pizzas taste far nicer than any supermarket one you buy and cook at home. Also, I only buy them when there is an offer on.

Dominoes pizza even if I was a millionaire. Overpriced crap! I would fly to Amalfi and eat a street pizza for a few euros!

To be fair I've only ever tried one slice but it was rank - far too sweet. Like Hovis sliced bread. Just wrong.

I don't find Hovis bread sweet either.

I’m sorry but a tissott watch is not the same as an Argos one!

Cheap pleather shoes are just that cheap and usually hurt.

I do agree that I hate clothes / bags with the brand written all over look tacky.

I'm not a 'chef' restaurant type of girl. The faff, the incomprehensible menu & the ridiculous price. Even If I won the lottery I can imagine thinking 'sod it, you know where you are with Pizza Express, I can relax & be myself'.

A mulberry handbag. They're very pretty but even if I was a millionaire I'd feel wrong. £1k + on a bag I put on the floor by my desk? It's a bit like Louboutin shoes; beautiful but the red sole gives them away and labels you to everyone as someone with money to waste on shoes.

I'm a bit of a foodie, so a Pizza Express wouldn't cut it for me. If I had the money I would love to eat at a Michelin starred restaurant.

My friend sent me a link to a recycling bin last night.

It cost £180.

For a bin.

I would never buy that!

(To clarify, my friend was also horrified. We worked out we could buy 500 packets of custard creams instead. Far better use of the money in our opinion.)

Anything Louis Vuitton print or Burberry print 🤮

Expensive watches, I love jewellery but watches do nothing for me.
Gadgets, eg expensive can openers, ultimately, it opens tins.
Cars, I like a nice car but I can't get too excited over them.

Endgame my cashmere socks (which were a gift) are sublime. I would never have bought them myself, although having owned a pair, I'm a convert.

Personalised number plates? Nope, I don't get them. Your car already has a number plate, why are you pay for another one!?

*paying

A big house. Designer labelled anything. Any handbags at all (I have narrow shoulders). I’d possibly break out into expensive shoes though.

We are currently doing ok financially so I can (within reason) buy most things I want and I do have some of the things mentioned here (en suite bathroom, travel, cashmere). However I don’t have a watch as I think they are pointless and I would never, ever buy a designer handbag. My DD saved for 4 years to buy a Mulberry bag and it doesnt seem to be any better than one that costs under £100. I can’t bring myself to pay for 1st class plane fares either.

Anything by Jo Malone. The company that laughs all the way to the bank as people fork out for cologne (practically scented water) and a fancy box.
A Mulberry. So ubiquitous they all seem fake, and/or worn by heavily tanned, bleached blonde, botoxed trustees in leopard print. Classy.

Anything animal print. Might have cost a grand, will always look like it's a knock off from Delboy.

"However I don’t have a watch as I think they are pointless"

Not all of us are welded to our phones, so a watch isn't pointless. I wear a watch and feel like something is missing when I'm not. Even when I have my phone on me I find it a faff to get it out of my handbag to see the time when I can just look at my wrist.

There’s an enormous amount of inverted snobbery on this thread. I buy things that I can afford that give me pleasure. Usually they’re small things, sometimes, if I have the money, I’ll spend it on something more expensive.

Growing up my parents especially my mother would never buy anything if a cheaper alternative was available. Even if that alternative was complete crap. Everything nice had to be kept for 'good' wear too. It was a bit miserable. I have a good job and I like spending my money on nice things. Life's too short.

Well now Canterbury let's hope our paths never cross. It's likely your disdain for things I can afford and enjoy will choke you. Alas for you I don't appear as you think, but I wouldn't want that to stop that bile spilling.

I wouldn’t pay more than £12 for a bottle of wine from a supermarket or more than £40 in a restaurant.

I think as well, expensive candles. I don't care how nice they smell, I just wouldn't pay it.

Isn't there just Foxyloxy1plus1

I haven’t worn a watch since I was at school (40 odd years ago) so it’s nothing to do with checking the time on my phone! I’ve just never seen the point as if you are somewhere that the exact time is crucial like a place of work or train station there are always clocks around. I go to the theatre often and always manage to sit through to the interval without needing to check the time - if I find time dragging I know it’s because I’m not enjoying the play. I don’t need a watch to confirm that!

I do wear a fitness tracker nowadays as I find it very motivational so it looks like a watch and I do sometimes check the time on it. It’s quite ugly though, if I could find an attractive watch that had all the functions of a Fitbit (heart rate, sleep tracking, steps taken etc) I’d buy one immediately.
