Week 20: what is need?

Need is a relative, and therefore very nebulous, concept. Did Tom really need a new t-shirt with a pointless slogan on it from our local vintage shop? Probably not. And I think Pa Parkinson would have agreed with me on that one. But there's no denying the bargainous nature of this purchase; 6 shiny Australian dollars was the asking price, and we got away with paying $5.60, because it was all we had on us. We then realised that one of the dollars we'd handed over was a New Zealand dollar, so technically we paid just $4.60 in legal tender. This may not have been very moral, but when you're bargain-hunting, morals go out the window.
