    I bought my wife pregnancy clothing, and found out I’m having a girl!

      For a moment, I was confused why you would buy your wife pregnant clothing before you knew she was pregnant with a girl.

        Yeah my son had this. He loves putting them together, but they fall apart so easily even after they increased their prices to compensate for their longer lasting builds.

        Just a bit overpriced nowadays imo.

    Nothing, and I don’t plan to buy anything except normal stuff through January, either. I’m not doing Xmas this year, so very easy to avoid the spend.

    A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.

    I must admit I was a big spender. I was on the second last day of my cruise, so I went a little wild. I spent $2.55 on the Guitar Hero cabinet in the arcade. No regrets.

        About $10! I was lucky enough to be brought by my aunt, so I only had to cover the room charges (taxes on a few drinks at port, and of course, Guitar Hero)

          🤦🏽

          Congrats on your vacation, I go on them also.

          But you must realize bragging about not consuming when going on an environmentally disastrous cruise vacation is ironic, even if your aunt did the spending…

    Goodness gracious, the way everybody on Lemmy claims to be anti-capitalist, the majority of answers better be “nothing”.

    Edit: ITT: people offended at being lumped in with the rabble.

      In my defense, I actually did have to get my prescription medications, but I didn’t buy anything else.

      Well, my answer is nothing, and as anyone who follows me knows, seeing me not buy any random novelty cutlery trash from China has certainly got to count for something.

      a ton of users don’t claim to be anti-capitalist.

      being anti-capitalist is performative outside of those who are living off grid or dumpster diving anyway.
