Do You Do Any "impulse Buys"?

While out and about have you bought something that you did not plan to buy? What was it? And what was your motivation on why you bought it?

 

No. No money for that.

 

I suppose so, but not traditional impulse buy items. Yesterday I bought a lot of bananas and some organic soup that was on sale. I hadn't planned I buying them, so they were technically impulsive.

 

Pack of gum. New flavor.

 

Aren't we all conditioned to buy when we see the value? Whether impulsively or planned?

 

i do it with cars all the time

motivation is usually i see it as a great deal or easy way to spot some fresh cash from re-sale

 

i try not to make impulse buy.

in electronics stores i tend to browse for quite a while, looking at all the wonderful new things that are available in 2014

 

My whole life is a series of impulse buys. My whole life seemingly runs off impulses. I don't think, I just do! And it works out for me this way. =]

 

It happens once in a while, usually when I go to a thrift store (cheap and nice clothes and accessories, woohoo!) or visit the local farmer's market. I always seem to strumble upon things that are either looking way too delicious or that I need and happen to be on sale for dirt cheap, so I usually jump on the occasion.

 

Yes I have a habit of impulse buying.

 

Yup all the time. eBay, any store with CDs and DVDs and vinyl I'm all over. If I walk into a sports warehouse I just can't see to leave without buying a stupid ball or something. I blow my money away, always have and probably always will.

 

Actually, almost never. I only go shopping when I have something I need and I usually go in, find what I'm looking for and leave. Every once in a while I may go to a garage sale and see something I like but I don't count that as impulse buying because that's what I'm there for and even then...most of the time I will only buy it if I know I will use it.

Edit.....except for beer. I'll go out to buy a certain kind of beer and sometimes will see something else I think I'll like so I buy both.

 

I walked into the grocery store and as soon as the coolness of the ac shivered my spine the scent *ripe peach* sent an electrical signal that bypassed my frontal lobes completely, sent me careening like a blind rhino into the produce section.

Upon exiting the grocery store I immediately extracted two perfectly ripe meticulously chosen peaches, in less than sixty seconds one was a stone. Then walking I passed a black lady just sitting on the side of the parking lot looking miserable, I offered her a ripe peach, she flashed fear then anger before declining. I just kept my balanced chi rolling along, and enjoyed the second peach. It tasted like honey, sex and sunlight.

 

Remember folks, today is the last day of shopping before tomorrow. =]

 

Don't worry... Walmart is open 24hours. :dizzy2:

 

I am not one for impulse buying as in something I do not need or have a use for. I will say though that sometimes I do trip on something that I end up buying more for others for occasions in the future.

 

you come across some good shrooms and want to share the experience? makes sense.



really, i don't do much impulse buying at all. not since a few years ago when i would occasionally go to the used cd/video game store and pick up a random cd or video game or two. i don't even do that anymore though; i don't play enough video games to pick up randoms at this point, and cd's are obsolete. and i still wouldn't really consider those impulse buys anyway, i went to the store with the intent of buying a cd or game, i just didn't know which one.

 

Not really. When I do buy anything, I weigh the pros and cons quickly in my head.....as I am a pretty quick thinker....and if the pros are outweighed, I do not buy...I am pretty practical....When I did buy anything expensive like dolls, which I don't anymore, I knew I could get my money back, which I did most of the time....

I can be pretty fun shopping for gifts for someone else, though.....then I tend to go a little haywire at times, to make someone else happy.

 

Are you, Moonglow? Are you?

 

I'm quick I tell you, quick like the wind.
