What is your OS compulsion?

LOL to all the previous posts! I can't resist Fairy Washing Up Liquid, when it's on special offer or bogof. Thought I'd died & gone to heavon when they were on special offer at asda a few weeks ago. I may live to 100 & never have to buy any more. (but I will, I KNOW I will);)
I also can't resist buying M&S underwear and socks in the sale when they are half price. Since I am on no spend challenge I buy them for dd, so we are both happy!
And finally (well all I'm prepared to admit in public) I do use the same piece of silver foil all week for my sandwiches for work! although I do wipe it over.

Im also a fabric and yarn stasher, I guess its my safety net, so I can make the occasional couple of quid or a gift.
I also have to buy stuff I see on here or hear about that is a bargain and useful, that is I have to get it NOW!! lol
Dh has a thing about emergency money, which is a very good thing but he does drive me a little crazy with it.
I too like to make everything I can instead of buying it, and my mates in our goth social group come to me cos I always know where to get things, borrow things or make them. They think i have a little black book but I dont I have MSE .Clearing the junk to travel light

Chopped tomatoes and kidney beans! At one point I had so many tins I swear I could have made enough chilli to feed a small African nation!0

I don't know to what you are referring:whistle::D
Yes, it's true I do buy a lot of cookbooks but I don't think it counts as an OS compulsion as it involves spending money on things I don't really need.0 -
This one looks good though......:D0

Bits of ribbon, marg pots and old clothes that I save for rags. I culled my rag stash at the beginning of the year but it seems to have multiplied again:o OH no doubt would add charity shop books to that but that's a vital need [that comes under the well known medical condition of bookwormery:D] not an obsession!!

Thriftlady, I got a leaflet thingy from the Book People today and they are selling this book for £9.99. I'm very tempted too.0
