I am rubbish at OS

I feel like a failure, but also happy in a naughty way!
I needed a lime for a recipe and popped into the shops.
There was a deal on 4 limes, so what the hey, I bought 4 limes.
So roll on to a few days ago when I remembered I had 3 limes left and nothing to do with them, and I was trying to plan out my meals and do an online shop.
Cue frenzy of googling, forum searching, and scouring of my more exotic recipe books.
Result?
I ordered a bottle of cachaca to make caipirinhas :rotfl:

On a more serious note...... is not the whole point of this OS thing that you don't waste cash on stuff that's not that hard to do yourself so that you can have the money to buy the stuff that makes life worth living??????? Like caipirinhas???? Or, in my case, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc?????0
