Have you ever bought something you did not actually need, just because it was cheap?

I bought a pond vacuum from a police stolen recovered auction - it seemed good value.

Straight into the shed and never seen light of day .

A marriage licence. Seemed cheap at the time , been paying for it for almost 40 years.

Sorry but please remove that from the car .......................... and stamp all over it. !!!!

A box of 20 musical car air horns.

Which sat at my dad's workshop for about 6 years taking up space before we skipped the lot.

A tent , from a man running down the river towpath for a tenner. It was all bundled up in his arms and he was pretty out of breath.

On reflection , he had probably just nicked it from Millets in Kingston.

The list is pretty much endless as far as I'm concerned

All sorts of random things I'll never use in the toolbox.co.uk 99p sale!

A digital caliper that I had to saw the end off to use , thereby making it incapable of measuring anything bigger than 75mm in future.

I nearly bought some MBClub uk membership -phew that was close!

Basically every Friday night when I visit the bay of dreams.

Go for a pint (or two) have a quick browse and wonder how you've done without the "magic* one off special polishing/grinding/cleaning super tool for so long.

Oh, and I also bought a Jeep which I have no need for at all (but it was cheap) though now realise that I need an LCD Cigarette Lighter Voltmeter for it.

Off to browse.

But that's not something you don't need... I would have thought of it as an essential piece of kit. :bannana:

I go shopping with the Mrs every week and I end up buying **** I would never have bought on my own.

This week I came back with not 1 but 2 memory foam neck pillow things for travelling. Thinking about it know I'm the one usually driving why would I need 1!

I've got allsorts of **** she persuades me to buy.

I am not rich enough to buy cheap.

Purchase wisely and buy once, buy cheap and invariably you buy twice.

buy cheap and invariably you buy twice.

1,000% correct. Yet I still do it.

I bought a pond vacuum.

Straight into the shed and never seen light of day .

I did the same with a old Hoover.

I ended up giving it away because it was just sat there in the corner collecting dust.

Poundland has a sort of magnetic attraction to me. Full of things that may or may not come in useful some day. But what the heck, you cannot go wrong for a pound - can you???
