....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...

But they are so nice. So good looking. So nice to type on. Yes.
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.
whoops

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

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...........

I used to be really bad for impulse buying so I started a rule for myself: if I see something I want, don't buy it and see if I still want it in a week. If I do I'll get it then. Also I try and ask myself "do you actually genuinely need this?" but more often than not that falls through when it comes to the weekend at the pub haha.

it depends. not really? i don't have a stable source of income at the moment, so whenever i do get money from whatever, i usually spend it on merch or toys or coloring books. sometimes clothes. i try not to spend all of it at once though. my mom is good at helping me budget for those, sort of. or at least reigning me in so i don't spend too much.

I have the impulse of buying things I don't need, but luckily I don't have the money to satisfy that impulse B)

yes.

although I do so less and less often these days because I'm buried in bills and such that I need to pay off, so I'm more conscious about what I spend money on.
