    This especially Aldi/Lidl shíte. I have cut down on that sort of spending and save up and buy good tool brands like Snap On, Milwaukee or Teng Tools every now and then. On a weekly basis I'd usually buy a nice take away coffee in my travel mug.

    That's another one. Coffee from cafes. My teeth went brown at one stage.
    I definitely have improved on all these compulsions.

    Books and DVD's .......... I also have an obsession with technology so, as an example, I tend to buy a book that I add to my collection and then immediately download the same book onto my Kindle Paperwhite or watch a movie on Netflix then, if I like the movie, order the DVD for my collection.

    Neither the book or the DVD will ever be read/watched .......... drives my Wife mad ........ which is reason enough to be keep doing it!

    Silk shirts. I have so many I forget I actually own most of them till I'm rooting around the (three) drawers I store them in. It doesn't help that they fold up so small :(

    I'm also banned from buying anymore fancy bowls and cups.

    Hiking and rock climbing gear.

    Golf clubs - buying ever more expensive clubs doesn't automatically mean a equivalent improvement in your game.

    Not quite a compulsion, but I've a very fine wine cellar.

    damn Fabergé eggs. its a hollow market :(

    Coronation Egg, 1897 This, perhaps Faberge's most iconic egg, was presented by Emperor Nicholas II to his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, as a memento of her entry into Moscow on May 26th, day of their Coronation in the Uspensky Cathedral.

    My wife informed me that we have 8 bags of grated Parmesan in the fridge. I think I’ve been subconsciously preparing for a cheesy zombie apocalypse.

    Same. I can buy unreasonable amounts of cheese. Would drive the OH mad, but I seem to just like owning cheese.

    I must have some sort of cheese-related trauma in my past.

    No. If given a chance, I'd never buy anything except absolute essentials and then, only when there's not a tap left in the house.

    Nazi war memorabilia.
