I like Amazon.com. It probably can't be classified as a huge waste of my money though, because I only order stuff off of that website about once or twice a year. The rest of the time, when I don't order things, I'm compiling a huge wish list, which I even have split into 5 or 6 sub categories (usually hard to find books, DVDs, CDs and other things of amusement.... such as collectibles).

Electronics: computer, laptop, iPad, iPhone. I'm wanting a new iPad since mine was one of the first generation, it won't sync with my computer anymore. Which means I can't add more music to it unless I buy it from iTunes and that gets expensive.

Games. But, I only buy when they're on sale. So I try to save money while wasting money.

Some people might say books, since I usually buy at least one a week. But I usually read at least one book a week. And I get most of them used. And I share them with friends.

Convenience of getting pop, snacks, etc. from convenience stores, gas stations, in the checkout line. I paid $1.33 today for a 2 liter of Diet Mt. Dew off the shelf, and $1.59 for a 20 oz bottle out of the cooler, at the grocery store today, because I wanted a cold one.

I dont have enough money to waste. Every cent is budgeted for and used appropriately. Any time there is any spare (which is very very rarely) it is saved for future medical expenses. My "savings" just got wiped out with this round of medical bills. Money is going to be super tight this year.

Underwear underwear underwear!
I have more thongs than one a.s.s could ever possibly need. I honestly don't have space for the stuff, they're in multiple drawers and even in gym bags. I once racked up 2k in debt on.... You guessed it, underwear!

No room in my budget for spending money and it's going to be worse now with the increased rent. I find myself buying less and less for myself and at some point I think I have to change my food habits even more towards only super cheap food. What I "spend" on is cat food, I only give my cats quality food.

Notebooks (oh that's a pretty cover) and scrapbooking material - stickers, envelopes, pictures, embellishments (oh they're so pretty, this is nice, that's great, oh this is marvelous) and other stationery like post - its or anything adorable that's related to stationery.

I dont think things are a waste unless we keep on buying the similar items over and over before others are used up. Like 6 nail varnishes almost identical shades
 or anything that doesnt add something to our lives. Like me and my taxis or coffee. Crafts and books and good quality cat food and so on are good things really, unless... back to 1st sentence.

When I start a new project I buy a whole lot of books but then find I don't want/need them. I don't quite know how I would know whether I od or not before I buy them and see which are useful and which are not?
I do buy a few too many that I don't think I will read but wish I would. I buy other things that I wish I would use/liked/wanted so my fantasy self gets in there a lot buying stuff. Food, too, I waste too much. I'll buy more vegetables than a family of 4 can eat in a week just for me, "in case".

Makeup (mostly lip glosses, I'm an addict), bath gels/shampoos, clothes, shoes, sometimes video games, and wigs (I know, whaaat? O_o). Never thought I'd be forced to wear wigs but now that I have been, I'm addicted! All the options...

Definitely Ebay...things look better if you have to win them first!!
And nail polish...colors do not look the same on as they do in the bottle!

Groceries. I always buy more than what is what on my list! My grocery cupboard just has to be stocked.
