Sometimes. I’ll buy raspberries if they’re on special offer, and then I’ll go and buy the first car I see because I can’t be bothered to shop around. Which, of course, makes no sense. If I want to buy something, I’ll enjoy doing research but then if it’s a chore, I’ll get it done as quickly as possible.Doing a full food shop in Marks & Spencer is about the height of it for me, but there has been some footwear over the years that I just couldn’t leave in the shop.
A new pair of Levi’s 501. You’ll have to come back to me in two years and I’ll tell you what good value they were, but I’ve already probably worn them 12 out of 20 days.A house. I was a single parent at the age of 18, so I started saving for a house and eventually bought it with my partner, Shane, during Covid. I was never going to have a big salary so I knew saving would be my only chance.I feel the amount of money I’ve lost over the years has been balanced with the money I’ve found.
