Well, to be fair, I was looking at nursing tanks. Not an absolute need, but they sure as heck make my life easier

Didn't anyone tell you that you can't spend money to make your life easier?! What's wrong with you?!

I'm was too late to find it online. What I wanted was the dress deal on the Today Show. They were marked down to $39.95.
Need - no.
Want - yes. An impulse buy.

I bought a new watch. I have watches with dead batteries but it was only $7.88 at Walmart.

I kind of wished I had just gotten a netbook, or one of those tablets with a keyboard attachment. I'm looking at those!! 1 of mine is an outdated operating system so it's unusable for me. The other is windows 7 -- hate that OS. And the boys need those. Guess I need either a 3rd or a tablet like GS1 or GD2's chromebook. Droid isn't big enough for everything

I don't need a new laptop, but want a lighter one to haul onto campus. I'll likely do some looking around this weekend..... I don't NEED a new computer, but the desktop iMac I'm using is from 2006. It's crashed once and I lost a bunch of data. A new hard drive was installed about 1.5 years ago, but I don't want to lose more data. Certain software is getting difficult to run... Work is expecting (not requiring) us to have good computer access at home in case of emergencies that would close the building. I'm about to bite the bullet and get a MacBook. I want to be able to work at my dining room table sometimes, where I can spread out my work. Do I NEED it? No. It's sort of between a want and a need. I consider it a practicality.

And now I'm looking at purses on Target's website. You are a bad, bad influence!!! Sorry. I think this thread was a mistake, because now I want to check out what everyone else is buying. Still haven't checked out the new DSW in town... I do NOT need any more shoes, I do NOT need any more shoes..

I bought a new watch. I have watches with dead batteries but it was only $7.88 at Walmart. I am tempted to do the same thing. It seems my watches are built like Fort Knox. Easier to get a new one than change the battery.

I bought a suit for SIL's wedding. I had a suit that I could have worn, but it didn't fit me great and I wanted a new one. Bought a J Crew suit for $550. Will get to wear it again in Oct for a wedding. After that it might not get much use. Can't picture it. Need a snapshot to be posted.

seriousthistime, IMHO that's a need if you work in an area that is ever closed by weather

So what have you bought lately that you didn't NEED, but kind of did? I bought an Amtrak ticket to Oregon to hang out there with my sister and visit my niece and nephew and my great nieces and nephews. I don't NEED to go, but it sure is going to be a lot of fun.

Dang ....... I feel old
Spent most of my life watching pennies and now can't break the habit. I don't have that many wants.
But next summer we are planning a 4 day Disneyland trip and a week in Salzburg/Vienna.

Pretty much any trip to Target. Tonight's haul was some pillows and throws for the spare room, mice with tail feathers for the cats, and some squeaky toys for the dogs.

Tomorrow I will be ordering an eyeshadow palette and lip glosses from Lorax's new holiday collection and possibly some gel eyeliners from inglot. I don't need either, but I certainly want them!!!!!

Eight bedrooms and nine baths, a carriage house with alley access out back. I want to go smaller, not 5700 square ft. But yeah, it's gorgeous.

I bought new halloween costumes for the kids. Then, my daughter kept asking me why I bought another one. She wanted to wear the one that she wore last year.
Good girl!
The costume is getting returned! I will be keeping the one for my son as he doesn't have one that fits him.

I wouldn't want one that big otherwise-- I'd have too many deadbeat relatives knocking on my door !

I was also planning to get a new costume for DS1, but he wants to wear the one from last year too. I hope that it still fits.

Last year, DD wore the same costume as the year before but I did get her a new costume for this year, but she should he able to wear it for next year too. (DD is 3 and wears 3T. Costume is 3T/4T.)

Damn! I am so weak! Watched Shark Tank, and Damond made a deal with a sock company. And the sock colors were pretty. So I ordered some. I REALLY need to go back to work!

That's what DH was trying to convince me. It would need something to draw business, it is not that close to the canal, but it is very near a railroad museum. Unfortunately, that is only sporadically busy. Building up business is out of my league.

I bought $100 boots from Nordstrom Rack on Saturday (after getting my job offer). I don't need them, but my only other pair of boots are brown. And other than Nordstroms, the only place that routinely carries shoes in my size is Payless, and my feet can't handle that.
Also, a $60 rat mansion, to go with the 2 rats we bought Pop Tart a couple weeks ago (those probably count, too).
