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

Bottled water. I've currently got an over powering addiction to Volvic with a touch of fruit, watermelon flavour.
I'm getting through 4.5 litres a day and the plastic guilt is getting to me big time.

Biscuits

Navy dresses. I have at least 20.
Although I have given up buying clothes this year (aside from 2 dresses for weddings, underwear and swimwear, all of which were in my original New Years resolution allowance) so I’ve been pretty good!
I do buy lots of lipstick and high heels too but regardless of suiting me or not I love wearing both so I’m not giving those up

Laura Ashley curtains and blinds from Gumtree to cut down and remake for the house. Except I buy them and then get worried about making the first cut. Am expecting another parcel this afternoon.

Nail varnish, especially in black. I've found a brand I like but keep trying different ones.

White twixes.

Wool to crochet with but never get round to using it.

Various art and craft things I think I will like.

Off The Eaten Path sour cream and black pepper crispy chips. I can barely resist eating the whole pack at once. Also Sainsbury's salmon jerky.

Aero peppermint is another one

Cans of full sugar Coca Cola. I think I'm free but then they will draw me back in.

Cross body bags. I never wear them and end up giving them to charity. See also the 1990s version, bowling bags.

Basically any bag that isn't a shoulder bag.

Ready made desserts on ocado/ in supermarkets. Really don't need to eat a Gu cheesecake every night but my life is so dull I feel I need the treat.

magazines, fine if I am genuinely going to read it from cover to cover but I flick for ten minutes. clothes made from synthetic fabrics (depressingly checked and this is 99% of my wardrobe).

@happynow Yes! They do frozen avocado in Sainsbury's. I saved a small fortune switching to them! Do melon freeze well? I could do with that!

Random things of amazon when I have had a glass of wine 🙈

Dairylea dunkers......not for the DC, for me

Happynow001 you need the pineapple gadget from Lakeland.

@ComtesseDeSpair have you ever bought from Grape Tree ?
Loads cheaper !

Wipes. I hate what they are doing to the environment but I'm still hooked.

Blue silk dresses

Coloured gemstone stud earrings

Speyside malts

Fucking Costa coffee

Clothing that's on sale.

I come home with a bag most days.

Yesterday was a pair of skinny jeans and a dark indigo t-shirt.

Today I've bought stretchy cotton skirt, white cardigan and a gorgeous teal coloured jumper.

Whilst I was shopping I remembered a pair of really nice summer trousers I haven't even worn yet!

Awful habit.

I've lost weight so I'm going a bit insane tbh

Oh yah, and takeaway coffees

Cannot stop

Books. I have a few hundred that I've yet to read but it doesn't stop me from buying others.

Crisps, chocolate, white bread.

Vintage clothing. I'm always buying dresses from vintage/charity shops because I love them (think 70's prairie/80's Laura Ashley) but I'm just not interesting enough to actually wear them. So I keep them for a bit and then charity shop them back again

Definitely clothes particularly tops but still wear old stuff

Chocolate and Malbec
