In the spirit of Buy Nothing Day, what have you successfully resisted the temptation to purchase?

I didn't buy the Alien quadrilogy for 20 quid at HMV, or a magnetic darts board for my office which I would have adorned with a likeness of my former head of department. However, I did get a bottle of wine from the evil Tesco because it was half price.

What was the last thing you didn't buy?
The News.
a ticket to a poetry evening tonight because I'm too skint :(
I nearly bought Dogtanian on DVD for five pounds. Unfortunately I didn't have a dvd player so it would have sat idol for months. It is funny, the amount of things I nearly bought, could afford, but yet didn't buy even though I liked the product. Consumer enigma.

I didn't buy the Alien quadrilogy for 20 quid at HMV...hehe, turns out that was a smart move as it's now been marked down to 15 quid. Oddly though, I still didn't feel the urge to buy it.

I think the first one is the only one worth watching, that was a great film. I've got it on VHS, well at least it's not betamax!

I don't think there was something I would have wished to buy but didn't. At least not today. It's not that I bought everything or too much, just that I felt as I was happy with the few things I bought.
The last thing I didn't buy was a tube of vaseline.

I didn't buy lunch, instead I sat talking to a year 11 who asked me for my msn address(?!?) I seem to have this effect on younger boys, horrid memories of being bought a coke by a year 7, bless him.
