Panic BuyingIt's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

BeefThis is actually quite a difficult one. Not many people, especially men, would admit to being in panic...
Anyhoo... More of an anti-panic, Ie taking advantage of people NOT buying....
At Uni, money and food was short. Very short. We used to wash tesco 19p for 20 burgers under hot water in order to make a spag bogy source with ketchup.
Then came BSE. Hoorah! for weeks on end we would buy the poor butchers stock for next to nothing late on a Saturday night. Scared that next week it may not be as cheap. We're talking 3 trays of 12 steaks for £7 here. Including the tray. Magical times for students.
The result, freezers full of panic bought Beef steak.
Steak on toast for Breakfast.
Steak Sandwiches for Lunch.
Just Steak for Dinner.
I hated steak. Until I discovered 'Chum' curry...
