Which of these items would you definitely buy again? Explain why.

Clothes. Why? You need them. Wash, buy, Wear.

Which items do you think were a waste of money? Explain why you originally acquired them.

Most of the items that I own were given to me, they were not bought. My most useless item is the lamp. I
guess it was a waste in that regard.
