On a lighter note….we all need it! Here’s a question for you.

What have you purchased since January 1st that you didn’t need?

I’m asking as we’re moving (hopefully) so I am getting rid rather than buying, also I read an article about a woman who didn’t buy anything unnecessary for a year she saved a fortune.

I will go first, an Espa collagen mask and a shirt, both from TKMaxx, I think it came to about £30.

I didn’t need either but I was feeling pretty fed up on a cold drizzly day!

I'm planning on buying some new mugs and a few bits and bobs for my new kitchen
No, we don't need them but I do want them.

Oh, and I bought a new Pyrex jug from Dunelm.
Yes, a trip to Dunelm is planned - exciting!! 😁
Other shops are nearby too and might get a visit.

Dunelm have really upped their game, haven't they? Ours had a massive refurb, and it is a lovely shop, lots of nice Joseph kitchen gadgets, and nice quality towels etc. I did well just buying a Pyrex jug I think.

The best towels we have were from Dunelm HousePlantQueen
Egyptian cotton, the bath sheet is a good size and they're years old but still good.

Is that to drink or a collectors' item?

*GransNet Money Saver* I didn't save. I spent nearly £30 on a jumper from ROMAN!!!! OK, it was discounted and I have very few jumpers but I don't actually need it.

Jumper came today. I love it! I'm wearing it right now.

Another throw from b&m. Was my wild purchace. During Lockdown and for probably a year after, I worked on a wants and needs principle. I bought no new clothes shoes or handbags. Yes I wanted to but didn't need to.
