Buying something that won't get used much.


In my case that would be the two dresses that I bought and wore to each of my nephew's weddings. They had to be formal dresses for the Mother/Son dance. I had the honor of filling in for their Mom (my sister ) who passed away when they were young.

Tools come to mind. I have many tools bought for a certain project or problem and now they there staring at me. But I know in my mind that someday I'll probably need them again.

Hey Jezer why not just rent a Tux. Then you won't have moths eating it up in the closet between the years you may need it next.

Those pictures are beautiful, I especially like the first one.
Just to be perverse after setting this peeve, I am going to need one quite a bit over the next year and I bought one that is not too expensive and will work out cheaper over the next couple of years.

I'm glad you like the first picture- I nearly didn't post it.

I have a lot of those one use items. Garage sale! Let someone else have them for one use.
