Does anyone else find stuff they didn’t know they needed until they started using it? Thst was very much me today with a mini espresso machine I had found for under $50 online and now I’ve had like 5 cups of coffee today because I was testing my skills xD

I usually buy things and find that I don't need it so I try to limit my purchases. Espresso machine though, uh-uh! I asked for a really nice one for Christmas and ever since I had the thought that I wanted to ask for it, I've been dying to use it. December needs to hurry up so I can also make five coffee drinks a day!

I found mine for $39.99 on amazon and I have prime so I didn’t have to pay for shipping lol

I think the one that I put on my wishlist is close to $80 but me and my roommate both agreed that we want something good that will last and it also needed to have a milk frother.

I actually don't! I've been studying, and thus having limited funds, for quite a few years, so I've saved money on not buying things I didn't need.
However, I did tie a Monkey's Fist (knot used in sailing) as a kid, and it's kind of been living in various moving boxes for 10+ years, until my cat somehow found it the other day. It's now his favorite toy! 10/10.

Mine has a milk frother, it’s really small too so it’s good for people who have limited space and it works just as good as a big, expensive machine
