Doh!

[bjarvis]

Fearing I was short of name tag holders for this weekend's square dance event --most people have their own club badges but some folks forget to pack them-- I dashed out to Staples to buy more.

Just now, I discovered a box in the DCLS archives which has a bazillion empty tag holders. I now have enough for several fly-in events. Damn good these things are dirt cheap.

Please stop me before I shop again.

repetitive shopping

[trawnapanda.livejournal.com]

I get afflicted with that occasionally. Somehow the idea "oh yes, I need X" gets stuck, and not erased when I purchase X, and so the next time out I again buy more X, lather, rinse, repeat. One time it was peanut butter, another time it was dishwasher detergent (that time I had 10 litres in stock before I finally had the wit to write NO DISHWASHER DETERGENT across the top of my fridge-door shopping list.)

it's not disastrous; (so far) the things I get stuck on are non-perishable and they do get used in the fulness of time. But I do run out of storage space. (I currently have two extra jugs of laundry detergent next to the boots in my front hall closet, for want of anywhere else to put them).
