Isn't a t shirt a shirt with short sleeves
$2 each
I would buy a dozen of them
You will use them and if you don't buy them you will regret it

@Ineeddentures Haha, a dozen! That sounds like the minimalist approach has already gone out of the window. At $2 each though, I can see why you would be tempted.

@Ineeddentures $24 for 12 is actually a pretty good deal. Even 10 would give you plenty to use, and at that price it is easy to see why you are tempted.

@AmbiePam I think one is a good compromise. You get the bargain without suddenly ending up with a wardrobe full of shirts you did not need.

If I don't like it even if it's a bargain, I wouldn't buy it at all.
But if it's something that attracts me even just a little, I would. And even if I know I wouldn't use it, I will always tell myself, I'll give it as a present to someone else.

@toniganzon Haha, the “I will give it to someone else” excuse is definitely a dangerous one when shopping. Somehow you can end up buying things for people who never even asked for them!

@septabchips But at least I get to make them happy.

@toniganzon Fair enough!! If the purchase ends up making someone else happy, then maybe it was not such a bad excuse after all.

@jstory07 A couple sounds reasonable. At $2 each, you get the bargain without going completely overboard.

@MarieCoyle Exactly!
If I don’t actually need it, I’m not bringing more stuff home just to find somewhere to put it!

This!
If it was something I needed, I might be tempted. But if I didn't, I wouldn't. I have enough to do without moving things around that I don't need...but that's just me.

I am a firm believer in the old saying of “use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without!”

IF you really don't need them, I wouldn't get them.

If you will wear them get them. If they will just hang in the closet don't

@looeyville If you don’t need them then it’s not a bargain, just an unnecessary expense. People’s homes are full of such otiose junk.

I would buy them ….they can go in the wardrobe until I needed to wear them.

If I genuinely did not need them, I would probably leave them there, even at $2 each. But if they were something I would actually wear, then two dollars is hard to ignore!

I don’t buy things I don’t need, whatever the price. I know some people would take this opportunity to buy and sell for a profit. Flipping, I think they call it. Could make a fortune if you can be bothered. I can’t.
