I’ve definitely bought myself something more than a few times to try and fill an emptiness inside. It makes you feel better for about a day or less, then you go back to feeling how you did before.
It works better of you buy something that has additional positives. Like a new oven and cooking more often or something to do sports.
But ya, I know that feeling.

i hate how much i fret and waste emotion and rage over making sure someone else’s shit becomes my stuff.
it is second only to how much i hate the three weeks of reading “Best Waffle Irons of 2024” lists that i make myself read endlessly before i buy one that is more expensive than i wanted to spend on a waffle iron that i will hate and not use.
i hate it.
As a rule I don’t buy specialized kitchen gadgets that are only good at making one type of food. It has saved me both money and cupboard space.

So, not a one kind specific kitchen tool…
Yes, but one might assume it is, based on what it’s called.
Surely an egg timer can time more than just eggs?
Even then though…rice. People all around the world eat rice every day
The ones with the steamer tray are a game changer. Set and forget 40min dinners are magical
I’m in this Wikipedia article and I don’t like it
Damn who got that kind of money
Relatable.
