Some to Get You Started 💗

I bought 12 packs of storage containers because they were $5 each. We had 4. Now we have 16. My husband thinks 4 of them are "for school lunches". — Anonymous, NSW
I hid a whole stand mixer in the boot of my car for 6 weeks. Then I "pulled it out" on my birthday. My husband still thinks it was a gift from him. It wasn't. — Anonymous, VIC
I told my partner the bedroom rug was $89. It was $289. He asked why I was "weirdly proud of a bargain". I was weirdly proud of getting away with it. — Anonymous, QLD
I ordered an air fryer at 11pm and cancelled it at 11:07pm when I panicked about the cost. Then I re-ordered it at 11:14pm after finding it on DTYF for $80 less. I now have the air fryer AND my sanity. — Anonymous, WA
