How often do you fall into the temptation of buying...?

Question

magnificently stupid things, things you don't even like or need, just for the sake of enchanting yourself for a few moments?

Answer 1

Used to happen to me so many times in the past.

My weakness used to be buying shoes in the sales - even if they hurt like heck I'd still buy them, my reasoning?  "Cos they are pretty and I don't want anyone else to have them".   Yep, sad sad sad!!

Answer 2

For years I used to do that but recently I've flipped that compulsion around. Now, I see how little I can spend rather than how much. It's working beautifully so I suppose it's the other side of the same coin.
