Things you've bought twice

[PaulSB]

Anything my wife needs but can't be arsed to look for. You want a list??

We have six jars of Elpaso chunky salsa

More flour than the local bakery

Four bags of ground almonds

I'll stop but have hardly begun!

Ordered aSella Italia Man Flow saddle.Checked my bank account found that payment had gone through twice.Checked with supplier said that they had found the double payment and would do a refund.Asked them to to send the additional saddle.Now have one on my three bikes

Really like these saddles they are kinder to my ageing posterior.

Twice??? I've got six tape measures and five Stanley knives. That's what happens when you have a Screwfix ten minutes from home.

Bleeding keys for radiators

No wonder they are called that because you can never bleedin' find them until you buy another

Which gives us the old DIY saying: 'measure six times and cut five times'.

I'm forever buying eggs because I take a fancy to bake a cake while I'm out.
Of course, when I get home there's already a 6 pack of eggs in the fridge.
Cycling related, I bought twice the same Altura and Polaris leggings.
I saw them for a good price in the bargain thread, forgot I already had a pair of each.

Cheese. I now have three large blocks of extra mature cheddar in the fridge.

Artists pens. I misplaced mine, bought another pack because I didn't want to turn the house upside down. This is despite the fact they're the spendy ones, not the el cheapo. Only to find the original pack in my camera bag. How the hell they got in there, I shall never know...

Disagree here. Any serious cheese person would have three blocks of cheddar just in case...........

You haven't seen my fridge...

Not only do I have three blocks of cheddar, I have old amsterdam, cambozola, stilton, gorgonzola, provolone, parmesan, buffalo mozzarella, cheddar with caramelized onion, tilzitser, appenzeller, manchego, cream cheese, gouda with chilli, edam, a christmas cheese with candied ginger and some boingy cone shaped spanish cheese...

I've just been rooting around the kitchen cupboard where we keep pasta, beans, rice etc:

Lentils vertes - 2 open bags, 1 unopened

Orzo - 4 open bags, 2 unopened

Tagliatelle - 2 open bags, 1 unopened

Canelli beans - 2 unopened

Split yellow peas - 2 opened***

*** One of which spilt half it's contents because the other person who lives here didn't reseal it.

Goes to find broom!!!!!!

 

[Reynard]

Yeah, that sounds a lot like my kitchen cupboards @PaulSB

Except mine is mostly down to yellow sticker acquisitions - you just gotta take advantage of them when the opportunity presents itself.

Like today, I picked up 5 tins of tomato paste at 12p a tin because they were a wee bit dented...

 

[PaulSB]

@Reynard with you all the way on yellow sticker items.

I mislaid a tool and had to buy another. Naturally the missing one showed up within 24 hrs.

The sad fact that I dont remember which tool means I will probably be buying a third in the near future.

Edit: I think it was a crank extractor. Still square taper on two bikes.

Dark Side of the Moon. It was shite both times.

Beer I keep buying beer despite the fact I have already drunk some this lifetime.
