Have you bought anything you don't really want?

If so - you may be able to take it back!
Most places allow you a month, I think, at least in my experience.
Don't sit at home thinking "I wish I hadn't bought it!" - take it back and get your money back.
If it 'only costs £10', you've saved £10 + INTEREST FOR YEARS!
Usually next day returns are most effective.
Gives you such a high to get your money back, you don't need to shop any more that day!

    In the last couple of weeks have taken back quite a few things, mainly clothes - damn that pretty fashion essential!!! - and must admit feels quite good to do so. And by doing so have even been able to clear a couple of my store cards, with their horrendous APR's, as those things would have been on next months statement. The high is very nearly as good as the one from buying in the first palce!!
