A bar of chocolate that I convinced myself I needed but really didn't.

Crisps!
...and (just before Christmas) I bought a clever gadget I spotted in screwfix that measures screws.... I bought two of these and gave one to my son-in-law. I love it!

If it gives you joy then surely it's necessary

Nothing, unless you count bird food which I don’t need but my little feathered friends do! And flowers for my parents’ and grandparents’ graves.

Navy coat

Silk Dress

Silk blouse

Chocolate leather boots

Didn’t need any of these but the sale prices were sooo good.

Half price Hotel Chocolat Christmas chocolates. Definitely not needed but they tasted delicious and didn’t last long.

A sparkly top in Matalan's sale. I don't need it, but I like it.
A little shelf thing to under fridge shelves. Utterly useless.
I can't fit it anyway, and there's no room. Luckily it was cheap.
My punishment is to buy nothing unnecessary for a month at least. grin

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!
