Do you impulsively shop?

I mean...when i see some sweaters for sale and they look nice and decent..the material and whatnot i will go ahead and buy it but sometimes i can't control myself if there isn't a sale and i feel like i just have to have it >.< also applies to food , drinks, electronics, etc... (can't control myself with Vitasoys) o.o

I don't because I don't like spending money. I try to hold onto it as long as I can. o.o

Yep I buy things I don't need with money I don't own. Yes I'm a moron. But its hard not to give into temptation.
what's the point in living if you don't do something tempting?

I only buy stuff impulsively if it is REALLY cheap, and it's usually REALLY expensive. Like I'm talking 75%+ off.

It had been record store day for 20 minutes, and I'd already spent $150

I haven't the money to shop impulsively.

My dad yelled at me for using my debit card too much. I never thought much of how most Americans spend and spend with their credit cards, accumulating so much debt. Now I know the pain, and haven't used my card for a while now.

To answer the question, yes (in terms of food and online). I always order a $1 soda and something to eat, assuming it wouldn't cost much. I'm more careful online, but still very similar situation.

Thankfully, I grew up around several impulse shoppers in my family and watched how they would never use half the stuff they bought (or buy a "better" product that does the same thing shortly after). So I don't impulse shop because I see how bad it is lol.

I'm guilty of spending over 1k in a single store, so yes

I impulsively buy adidas sneakers and running shoes if I see them on sale at the store.

I once went to a clothing store to specifically buy a dress shirt and nothing else but then I bought 3 adidas running shoes and 2 high tops cause they were on sale from $25-40 each. My rooms filled with adidas shoe boxes; I need help.

What manga is to the left of Nisekoi?

OT: No I don't. I haven't given much thought to buying anything unless I ABSOLUTELY need it in my life

I have that habit too. I buy something really expensive, wear it like twice..then return it about two weeks later. I think what I'm doing is illegal because I take the tag off in a way that I can put it back on and make it look like I never wore it.

Oh well.

I definitely impulse buy on almost everything I think I will use or wear. I end up never wearing or using the item I bought.

I purposely go out with only enough money for food otherwise I feel the need to buy things.
Online, I just add everything I want in the cart, but I hardly ever end up buying the items.
