Have you ever found something that you had bought and forgot about?

Usually when i buy something i need it ASAP. So this has never happen to me. I have however had things that i thought i didnt have anymore then found it again.

It has happened to me with clothes. So often I will be wondering what to wear and I will come across an item I bought ages ago that possibly still has the tag on it! I'm not spoilt. it's just that I work from home so I tend to wear the same things around the house and I don't dress up much these days so I don't get around to wearing new things as often as I used to.

I have done this a lot. I think the reason this happens to me is because I put something somewhere so that I won't loose it and then ending up basically hiding from myself. I am just glad to find someone else who has done this.

I tend to buy little things through out the year for stocking stuffers - sometimes i forget what i got and other times i know what i got but its not in the stocking stuffer shelf. I found a bunch of scarves and mitts that are really nice i had bought last summer for christmas at a close out sale (10 cents each) i had forgotten all about until i found them last week.

I have found Christmas presents I brought several years ago and forgot to give. Once in a while I find a scarf or skirt I forgot I brought.

I am really bad at doing this when it comes to beauty products-u buy them when they are on offer and stick them under the bed.I then buy more...... ooops

Yes, all the time. I can recall years and years ago going to a home party and buying some erasers that were shaped like a man's body part. They were so hysterical. I put them in the top of a closet so our kids wouldn't find. Last year while looking for something in that closet, there they were staring at me. I started laughing and had totally forgotten about them. I should give them now to our kids since they are all grown and think it's funny. I also found some very interesting, tiny candles that were Santa Claus. Guess I didn't want to burn them and just tossed them in the top of the closet. Think they had a birthday last Christmas and would have been 15-20 years old.

I do this all the time. I also find things with tags still on them that i forgot about that i hung in my closet lol. I need a bigger closet so things dont get lost in it.

I used to do this quite often. I would see something and think, "oh this would be great for so and so's birthday/Christmas present", buy it, stash it in the closet and not be able to find it when I needed it! Bad habit..LOL!

I do it most years for Christmas presents. I buy things most of the year so I am not trying to spend all that money at once, and it never fails that there is something in that closet that hides from me until the last minute. I have gotten to the point where I make a list of all of those who I need to buy for, and then I write things down as I buy them so I know exactly what I have and don't have. This also helps so I don't over buy for some and leave someone out and am out at the last minute NOT finding what I want for someone!

wow. i do that a lot lately. especially since i've moved 3 times in 3 yrs and therefore, until now have not even gotten everything unpacked from last time but yes, its its like xmas almost

Yes I have done that allot before I would look at some thing and say I should buy it so I go back and back and buy it then get home and find out I all ready have it ..crazy or what. cd

Hey jill! Isn't that the best when you find something that you totally forgot about buying! I wish that I would do that more often! It's been awhile since I have found anything that wonderful, but occasionaly I do get lucky! And it is just so fun when finding a rare treasure that you forget buying so I know exactly how you feel! Enjoy your new found dishes! I know I sure would!

No i have never forgotten about things i have bought. Usually the first thing i do when i get home is take everything out of the bags that i have bought to make sure they are away and that i know i have them. Even when i go on vacation and i come back i remember to always unpack the shopping bags first so i can put things away that i have bought. I'm a freak when i get home from shopping or on vacation because i want to know what i bought if i have forgotten and take everything out of the bags to see what everything was and i get excited when i do this. It's a relief for me to spend some type of money.

I believe there are some more things which I had bought and yet to discover hidden somewhere. Recently as I was searching for a timer I knew I had bought, I discover a USB hub which I had bought years ago. Along in the back is a paper weight and a mouse. 3-in-1 discovery. lol.

Hello jillhill, I do forget some stuff that I bought earlier sometimes and when I do my cleaning, I start to find all the stuff scattered in my wardrobe most of the time. But normally, they are just small stuff like costume jewelries or make up products. The reason? I always buy and try to hide them from my husband who is against my shopping habit!

Yes, this has happened to me, too. ;) I have found articles of clothing, etc. that I had purchased and forgot about. This happened to me a few times. I was extremely busy and stressed out both times this occurred. It feels good, however, to discover the items that were purchased and then forgotten about! Have a lovely day.

Oh my yes and I know they are still here waiting for me to find. And I'm not sure I want to anymore.As I would get mad at my self for buying it. I have cards and I know I got this one thing but miss placed it. I really need to clean everything out. You have a great day. Your friend onlydia

Oh I do this all of th time. My home is so small and we are jam packed with boxes of things under the beds etc. I often go into the boxes under the bed and find all sorts of things. What really gets up my nose is if I buy something that I already had. Because, I forget what is in the said boxes under the bed! No, I do not want an extra room as my son and twins are only living with me temprarily and this is a blessings for me. So I am happy with the spacde under the bed being jam packed. as one day ther will only be me in the house. Blessings

I used to have that happen to me very now and then. But now I only buy what I need or really really want so it's usually hard to forget about it. Plus I have made it a habit of getting all my stuff together, clothes, receipts, trash and sorting it out in its different places before I do anything else when I get home. It takes some disciplene but it has really saved me a lot of heartache and hassle.
