CDs. I keep receiving these last days at bargain prices emails from hmv amazon and such. I say I'll just take a look and end up buying a batch of CDs I won't even listen to

Just heard on the news some lucky bastard in Madrid just won the eurolottery.

That's more than 171 million dollars

Fury said:

Crushed tomatoes.

meow85 said:

Right?

I think I have 3 or 4 pairs of jeans that fit and I wear regularly.

Cereal.
Its just me and my guy.
Why do we need 6 boxes of cereal? He doesnt even drink milk.

Tissue.
I'll be wiping my ass and the neighborhoods ass for the rest of the year.

well, my weight fluctuates throughout the year--i can weigh anywhere from 190 lbs to 205 lbs...so i can wear size 36's, 38's or 40's at any point duting the year. when i weigh 200 lbs, my 36's fit like ball busters so i really have like 10 pairs for each waist size

Beauty products. Like shampoo, conditioner, facial soap, lotion, mascara, etc.. I already have 2 bottles of shampoo & 1 bottle of conditioner but when I went to CVS yesterday it was on sale 3 for $10 so I bought more. Now I have 6 bottles not counting the half full bottles in my shower! I have about 3 mascaras in my linen closet, and 3 open in my make-up bag. (I have really nice eyelashes so I like to switch up the mascara depending on where I'm going.) I have 2 huge bottles of lotion in the closet, and about 4-5 bottles in various stage of emptiness in the bathroom...some scented, some just regular. To my credit though, about 3 of the scented lotions were given to me as a gift.

books

Mostly food and paper supplies, but specifically:

avocadoes
artichokes
composition books

I want about 5 more, all with different components and in different finishes (colors).

Last fall, I bought 14 boxes of Apple Jacks cereal, because they were at a ridiculously low price. Think they were something like 75 cents per box or something like that. I'm still eating the cereal up. For that price, I could not pass it up, so I wound up buying every last box of cereal in the store.

Co-

Books are one of my vices, if you can call them that. I actually need to restrain myself from going inside bookstores now because I know I won't be leaving without some new printed word and a whole lot less money.

I'm pretty bad like that with music and movies too.

try working in one

what curbed my buying was moving house last november- omg- half the boxes were full of books

and i cant go past cheap dvds- i mean- when they r cheap-u may as well buy it instead of hiring...right?!

meow85 said:

books me too, trouble is if i never purchased another book i still probably couldn't read all the ones i already own so where is the sense in buying more

endymion said:

wipe a couple of them boogers out of your nose while you're at it.

cd's.

shoes.

jeans.


i think i have some ridiculous number of jeans in rotation, like 16 or 18 or something, that i've bought in the last year. it's only made partially acceptable because 1) i lost a lot of weight and 2) i usually have to have a different casual wardrobe for work and home.

still, it's getting obnoxious.

cd's, vinyl

when what i actually need to do is get me some jeans and pants

I am ridiculed for having toilet paper and paper towels stacked 3 cases deep and when you open my bathroom closet you will find stacks of soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste....any kind of toiletries!!! I am a sucka for sales and coupons.

I'm (still) in the middle of looking for a 2nd job, and a bunch of bookstores in the area are hiring. But I won't apply because I know I'd just end up spending my whole paycheck there.

endymion said:

I so know where you're coming from. I have stacks of books I haven't read yet.

Some with the price tags still on the cover.

Cute undies.
