A sundial for my garden. I never thought I needed one till I saw one today and couldn't leave without it.

Petrol, 3 weeks ago
I've not bought a thing since.

How!!! Teach me please
I have stopped all my incidental shopping, no coffee stops. I've been meeting my friends for walks, runs , cycle rides, yoga at my house instead of pub or cafes.
I have not bought any clothes for months deliberately. I don't need any.

I'm not going to be cautious for ever but I have set my self a target of having 50k saved by December and I'm nearly there.

Flowers for my grandma and my great aunt. They're twins, it's their birthday, and they're 101! Grin
How wonderful 😊 Many Happy Returns to them!

A tube of watercolour masking fluid because I want to paint daisies.

An artificial rubber plant and some artificial Gerberas. I'm cheering up the spare room!

A picnic blanket in the sale to replace my 10 year old one.

Petrol

Ordered about £300 clothes online in sale and some new stuff for autumn. I'll be lucky if I like a quarter of it though (not sure if I'm fussy or rubbish at shopping).

Two velvetisers from hotel chocolat for my mum and sisters Christmas presents.

A curry. It hasn't arrived yet. Also bought some Chinese pain relief patches in the last hour.

Five Vulcans!
They’re a variety of wallflower, and as a Star Trek addict for over fifty years, I couldn’t resist. Grin

Thecazelets · 28/08/2021 18:44

A pair of dungarees, on impulse, about 5 minutes ago online. To go with the many varieties of breton top I seem also to have impulse bought this week.

A beginner's jewellery making kit including tools, findings, beads and instructions for making 10-12 simple items. I've nearly finished them and have really enjoyed it. Next project is mending stuff I've broken years ago but couldn't bear to chuck, then going to treat myself to some nice beads to make up.

New hi-vis for youngest child

Round of beers at the pub.

A limited edition handbag that I had to get out of bed early and queue for! Worth it though.

stripedbananas · 28/08/2021 18:53

My last item in an actual shop and not online was a coaxial cable

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 28/08/2021 18:54

Yarn. A kit and five balls of a different colour, but same brand.

A writing set for my mum who has moved into a home and likes receiving letters. It's a document organiser and I'm filling it with blank cards, envelopes, notepaper, stamps and pens with the addresses of all the family printed inside so it's easy to find them.

FinallyFluid it is delicious and I was lucky enough to have a whole one last year in its round wooden box Grin
@opinionminion

Our local farm shop sold out at Christmas, like about a week before hand, there was uproar on all the surrounding areas FB pages. One of the guys at the rugby club hasn't been back he was so pissed off.

#HomeCounties problems. Grin

Some skin tightening cream for my face 🤨

It has been an expensive day. A large tote for work - fits lunch, tablet, phone, wallet, charger, and random items along with bits I pick up in Supermarket on way home. Bought some smart trousers for work again, 2 bras, 2 blazers and a smart top (that I am using my new job to justify buying).

A theatre ticket .
