Yes and it can pay off.  For example, I purchased back-up yoga pants with a fold-over waist.  So glad I did because they're hard to find now.  Most have elastic and I can't wear elastic.

Same here. I hunt high and low for lounge and/or sweat or exercise pants without elastic. Seem like almost all of them have it? K-Mart years ago I had to buy woman's sweats, they were the only ones without elastic.

I bought every pair in my size(I did try them on) they had on the rack. Ended up with 8 pairs and am still wearing them now and probably last me the rest of my life. I don't get this elastic thing in pants. Buy a size that fits me, and sweats can have a rope to tie them tighter if I decide to lose weight. Crazy to me.

Yes I do, both clothing and makeup.

Today I'm wearing my 1-1/4" round hoop earrings, 18KT white gold, that I purchased from the Q around 7 yrs ago at a low price. I also bought these earrings in 18KT yellow gold - and a couple of years ago while I was at home, I touched my ear and one earring was gone. I had only gone out of the house that day - once to the mailbox - and once to walk my dog a short distance. A few hours later, I walked the same routes - and could never find my earring. So - I still have one gold earring in my jewelry box - and get upset each time I see it. Wish I bought a duplicate of that pair - but at that time, never thought of it.

A couple of years ago, I saw a similar pair, 14KT gold round hoop earrings at Costco. Unfortunately, there was a little gold ball at the end of each stem - and couldn't get it thru my ears - had to return.

Yes.

1. Black pants that fit well

2. White tees

3.Shoes that were comfortable and versatile.

4. Makeup (because they always discontinue a shade that works for me. LOL)

5. Gloves

6. And now, earrings.

Just yesterday, I bought a backup pair of my favorite Skechers.  Same style, same color.  And.....two other colors of the same style!

If I ever could find the perfect shade of lipstick, I would buy a duplicate...or even a few tubes.

I did purchase two of the same sweater once (from QVC) in two different sizes (same color) because my weight fluctuates 10-15 pounds when I'm having a fat attack. I was just looking for the sweater last weekend, and I couldn't find either one! Maybe I should have purchased three??? Guess it's time to clean out the closets!

I don't buy back-ups of things unless it is household items such as toilet paper and toothpaste.  I do buy the same clothes in different colors sometimes though.

I used to buy backups for a few things but most times found that I didn't really need it or want it by the time I got to it.So my answer now is not anymore.

Just bought a back-up Kenmore microwave. The one I have is starting to make strange noises, and I really like it. My favorite microwave so far.

I have a collection of riding boots that I'll probably never have to wear.  But I found a style/brand that I love and when the company stopped making them, I started looking on e b a y.  Whenever they come up for sale in my size, it's hard to resist.  

So, yeah, I've got lots of back-ups in my favorite boot.  I've got winter lined ones and regular ones, brown and black, higher lace up and lower zipper.  You name it, I've got it.  

I'll buy a lot of things at discount or cheap, but leather riding boots are something I won't compromise on.
