I don't normally do it, but I found a nice pair of insulated Merrell walking shoes in TK Maxx for £40. I went back in a few weeks later and they still had a pair (but now further discounted to £20) so I bought them – two years later and the original pair have just been relegated to 'garden' shoes after taking a hammering in the Lakes over Christmas.
Basically, when I buy something, particularly clothes, that really like I’ll almost always buy a 2nd in case it stop being made or something similar. We’re not talking rare things here either.
I’m the same but for different reasons. Live with spms so mobility is restricted and when I find something I can put on easily that doesn’t interfere with movement I buy a couple of them. About 5 years ago I found fox jogging bottoms that I can get on so I bought 3 pairs of them, same with tops as I found cheap £5 karrimor tops online at sports direct so my entire wardrobe now consists of 6 items, no more considering what to wear as it’s all the same.
Bought some Scarpa Treek GTX boots in the black friday sale - £150 instead of £250 - and just bought another pair from SportPursuit for £125. They fitted and broke in well so if I look after them, then with resoles they should see my hiking career out, maybe.
Bought one of those Ion Shelter 3L mtb jackets from SportPursuit for £74 after a recommendation on here, then noticed BikeInn selling a different colour for £58 recently, so bought one.
Had some nice Specialised mtb shoes (expert or similair - stiff carbon soles), then picked up another two new pairs for around £30 each from ebay, so that should see me out as well.
Bought two pairs of those Madison waterproof trousures from LeisureLakes after checking that they fit.
Got four pairs of Enacfire F1 headphones as I like the sound and battery life.
