  • ....Do you impulse buy? ...I do, honestly, but I hate admitting it. I pass it off as something I "need", but then I regret it later. Internet shopping has definitely made me a lot worse w/impulse purchasing.

  • Nope, I have a mom and dad to stop me. I'm sure I would if I had my own job/source of money.
    Also I have a tendency to hoard money.

  • I impulse buy food not on my list at the grocery store all the time. I try not to with anything else. Most of the time it works... mostly...

    I was about to comment "I damn near impulse bought a keyboard the other day" so I'm glad it's not just me.

    ...this new keyboard, while I slept on it a day, was basically impulse too whoops

  • I do have a pretty bad impulse buy habit, yes. Tends to happen with whatever hobby I'm in a huge kick for enjoying. Most of last year it was every single one of anime plushes, anime figures, Pokemon plushes, Pokemon figures, and Pokemon cards.

  • I budget for my impulses lol,

    Sure you do... :shifty-eyed: If I go into a place with a specific goal in mind, I don't impulse buy. Yet if I just go somewhere and have no such parameters, I have no control or willpower whatsoever. Area where I have such issues is with food. Like if I'm hungry... I try to avoid Costco at all cost.... Otherwise I buy $100 of food before I even know it lol...

    I wouldn't call them impulses because I mull them over and read hundreds of reviews before buying, but I splurge on skincare, makeup, clothes and games from time to time and I definitely don't need any of that

    I think I impulse buy food often though, nothing crazy but if I'm grocery shopping I'll pull snacks and stuff into my cart on a whim and it kinda adds up

    Yeah and I'm fine with it. Realistically there's not much I can save up for after paying for my living expenses so I might as well piss the rest away on hedonistic desires.

  • Like several mentioned here, I also impulse buy on snacks and drinks too often. Around 2014-2016 I would also impulse buy on games, only to not play half of them yet oops.

  • Not that much. Have at times e.g. very cheap games for the Wii U which I still haven't played a bunch for, but nothing expensive and usually I try to do some research before buying anything I feel I'll need of significance. Snack sometimes I suppose if I am hungry or there's something I want to celebrate with a sweet or somesuch.

  • Usually not, though I sometimes get real tempted by in-app purchases in a very select few games I play, lol. But am still very good with saving! If I lived nearby more merch stores that may be a different story though...........
