|
|
Expensive
cameras. Ostensibly for work purposes. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Used
fisherman pants. (Are pre-used items okay?) |
|
|
|

|
New
running shoes, purchased by my mother at my request. My old ones made
my legs hurt since the sole had worn off. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Forty
N-95 Particle Respiratior Masks. (In preparation for the Avian Flu) |
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
| |
Fancy
plants. Most are from garage sales, but all the purple stuff was
store-bought. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
An
extremely expensive paintbrush. I don't know why I bought this.
Emblematic of other home-repair purchases (see "What I want
for Christmas: Half-Used Hardware") |
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Wreath-making
supplies. Emblematic of other materials purchased so that I could
make, not buy presents for my friends and family. |

Paper
towels are generally against the rules, though I bought some for
the bathroom after the stomach flu outbreak in November. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Photographic
prints. Should this be against the rules? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Toxic
rooting hormone and fungicide. This stuff is not good for anyone,
and it should definately be against the rules. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Gardening
pants. My other ones all developed gaping holes in the seat area,
and I gave in and bought a sturdier pair. Since buying them, I've
worn them almost every day. |

New
Verizon Cell Phone |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I
bought a Verizon cell phone, hoping that it would get better reception
than the one I got used from craigslist last year. It didn't work
as well, so I returned it again. SAVED! |

Call:
Shiny
Purple Quilted Handbag from Brazil |
|
|
|
|
|
In
a weird lapse of Exconsumer Faith, I went shopping on the internet.
I bought a shiny, extra cheap quilted handbag from Brazil. After
I sent away my credit card info, I felt so guilty that I called
the merchant and cancelled my order. They refused to refund my money,
but didn't send me the purse. Hmmmmm.... |
