Going down the phone box to make a call
Washing day on Monday

Having a Mother and a Father at home
Buying a new overcoat, a day out to the seaside, a bag of monkey nuts, fish and chips, two pairs of boots and still get change from sixpence.

Saving up to buy something rather than 'buying' it on tick.

I buy most of my PC games in steam sales
