What items do you keep buying which you know you shouldn't?

[wichitalinemanswoman]

For me it's red lipstick and high heels. I think I look great in both and I really really don't

Cinnamon swirls. I've had a thing for them for the last two weeks.

Crisps, nuts & sweets - all of which I gave up for lent. I lost a stone. Since lent Ive put it back on & then some

McCoy's salt and vinegar crisps.

In fact any salt and vinegar crisps

M&S Eccles cakes- don’t try them- I’m sure they contain something addictive!

Card making craft stuff. I've got enough to get on with but there's always something else I must have. If I pulled my finger out and made cards with what I do have I'm sure I could rival Clintons.

Clothes that don't suit me because I'm not 19 anymore

Whole pineapples and melons. Not difficult to cut but often don’t get round to it so end up food waste

Bloody ready made desserts .

Wine, crisps

Chocolate then Clothes - i shouldn’t need more but I keep on buying the chocolate

Used books. Even if I lived to 200 and stopped messing around on my phone all the time I’d never read them all.

80% of my weekly ocado order. The crap gets eaten, the healthy stuff gets binned to be replaced by more fresh stuff, rinse and repeat.

Tesco seeded bloomer. Not slimming world friendly lol. Been chasing my 2 stone award for weeks and I keep going up and down

Dog toys. I think he has a lifetime supply of toys I haven't yet given him. He's 3. I've had to ban myself from buying him more toys, but I still relapse sometimes.

Not enough money around here to waste too much food mind you!

Beer.

Dungarees for DD. I've tried for the last two years to get her in to them but she won't wear anything except for dresses.

Chocolate.

Every. Bloody. Time

Salad. I hate food waste and can't believe I still buy it. My partner says I should just bin it when I unpack my shopping. I do love eating salad its such a faff chopping and washing all my favourite bits that I put it off until its not useable.

Charity shop 'bargains' - usually clothes. They're all nice, some are really nice, and cheap; but i don't need them and my wardrobe is full of things I've bought and then worn once. Need to do a big kondo/Ebay clear out!

Yes me too with the pineapple. I now buy frozen and just take out the portion I want ahead of time.

My item is avocados. I can always picture what I'm going to do with them (on sourdough toast with a poached egg) but I never get round to making it. I've recently heard you can buy frozen avocado so I might try that!

Yarn. Pretty colours, without a pattern or any idea what I will knit/crochet. And I’ll only buy one ball so I don’t waste money but when I decide to make something then it’s not enough!!

Beauty products/toiletries. Beauty calendars, gift sets, etc. It’s ridiculous.

Wine, cosmetics and books - I need to live until I am around 200 to get through all the books, and still I buy more.

Cheap clothes. Sure it's not well made but the price!!! And then I wash the damn thing asunde it goes straight to the charity bag. I probably buy 5 things a year in that category. Then there's the stuff I buy knowing damon well it's the wrong colour, plan to dye it, doesn't always look nice. Or the thing I buy knowing I'll have to alter it. I have to do this. I usually have to adjust dresses and jumpsuits because I'm a pear shape. I often get it right, but if I don't then it's another charity bag number.

Fudge.

Somewhere along the journey I started a fudge jar.
