    • Nestle and Goya products

    • Lottery tickets

    • New phones

    • Anything from Temu or Shein

    • I try to avoid the keyboard mash sellers on Amazon but for some products it’s pretty much impossible to find anything else.

      I like to get some scratchies every now and then - it’s one of the major funding sources for museums and sports in the UK, so I see it as a little donation with a dopamine hit rather than an attempt at winning big!

      Do you buy used phones? How do you deal with the battery? Used phones generally have old batteries, no?

      I just buy a cheap/budget (mid?) phone, 200 EUR max, every 5 years or so…

        My phone is a Galaxy S9+ from 2018 that I bought used in 2020 for about $200. The battery life is diminished but it lasts through the day.

        I will likely need to buy another refurbished phone soon though, as support for this device is getting cut from my banking app. I try to buy them at $300 or lower.
