Buy things when you see them, not when you need them, and you can't go
wrong.

My sister is a great believer in this - particularly with regard to
clothes. She is constantly trying to get my mother to follow her
example, but with a total lack of success. Mother just says "but I
don't *need* a ... at the moment" and my sister says "But you'll lever
find one again when you do need it." Time and again sis is proved right
but Mother gets more and more set in her ways with advancing years!

Actually, yes, I did just do that today. Evans are selling t-shirts
and sleeveless vests in loads of colours for £5 each, so I just went
and got 5 while they're still there.
