Impulse Buyers

[Bambi]

Im so guilty

I went out today wanting a load of new things for my kitchen because it's almost complete and I totally want all new things....

I did really well and got what I needed grabbed a bargain or 2 yet I get into another shop and spot a pink george forman grill that I know I will never use and it was like half price begging to be bought...so I did....

I also buy clothes and computer games when I know I reall don't need them, shoes are the biggest culprit...Im pushing almost 100 pairs now but I just can't help myself

I swear I go out for one thing and come back with about 8 different things that I don't need and neglect to buy what I went for in the first place

I...Im pushing almost 100 pairs now but I just can't help myself

bloody hell, I only have 4 pairs, One for school, going out (casual), joggers, and going out (formal)

Thats all you need

anywho, I don't really have this problem, mainly because I don't have the money to spend

 

[Bambi]

Nor do I

And a girl can NEVER have too many shoes...at least that's what I tell myself when Im carting new ones home

We totally eed them in all different colours and styles. The outfits must match!

I hate shopping, but I occasionally buy something just for the sake of buying it.

Out of boredom, I went to K-Mart because I hadn't been in the store for like 10 years. I didn't intend to buy anything, but I left with some undershirts, #2 pencils, a box of Reeses Puffs cereal and this cool eraser thing.

Good cereal right there. I need to get more.

I usually only impulse buy, when i have extra cash. One time i went to Wal-Mart. (i know....its sad) and I was looking at the CD's not intending to buy anything...but the next thing I know I see a bunch of old albums that I had on cassette tape that I wanted to bring over to CD. So I ended up buying like 6 CD's that day....thank whoever for my aunt working there and me getting her 10% discount.

I'm a huge pain to go shopping with because I'm so indecisive. Like once I spent about 10 minutes deciding whether to get THIS scarf or THIS scarf, and then in the end bought a completely different one. If anything I should probably be a bit *more* impulsive when I shop...

And I always have to ask for a friend's opinion on something before I buy it, even though I never listen to them anyway and still end up buying things even when they say they don't like it. And not just with clothes, but books, dvds, anything really. They eventually just gave up and answer with 'I don't carrrrrrrre'.

Whenever I AM impulsive though I always regret it, and I'll be on the train home thinking 'WHY did I buy THIS!?'. And I always spend too much money on food when I go shopping. Like if I see a box of chocolates on sale I'll buy it, and then I'll pass Thorntons (I swear I can smell that shop from a mile away >_>) and buy more fancy chocolates, and buy an extortionately priced latte from a coffee shop (which I don't even like and end up throwing out)... And then there's lunch aswell to pay for.......

I'm the opposite, if I actually stop to think about it and don't buy what I was eyeballing then I kick myself until I go back and buy it. Im still getting twitchy thinking about that Oscar the grouch t-shirt that I almost bought.......

Il be going back for that

Ha, I do that too actually. Most of the time when I'm deciding whether or not to buy something, I'll think 'Well, I know that I'll regret it if I don't...'. I mostly regret buying food though, and often think the opposite to stop myself buying so much, I tell myself that I'll regret it if I DO buy it.

Another thing that makes me so annoying to shop with though is that I ALWAYS go back to shops to get things that I almost bought. Last time I went to Edinburgh I missed the train so me and my friend ran back to the shops to buy these skirts that we almost bought before.

I buy only on impulse. Usually I'll go into HMV or Zavvi or somewhere with a mate, and tell myself that I'm not spending any money. Then I'll see a 3 for £20 deal on DVDs or something, and just grab some.
The other day I spent the £20 I owe my mate to buy CSS' album, my gloves and a new belt. The way I see it is that it's only money, and I'll be paid again in a week so I'll have it all back again. And if I don't, then oh well; there's no use crying over something I no longer have,

I used to be really good at saving my money, but then I got a job...

That sucks me in every time, I swear I end up spending more on the so called bargains than I do when things arent on sale xD

I spent like 50 quid in hmv last time i went in and i was only after a birthday present

I seem to think i have a bottom less pit of money =/

Haha, my friend ALWAYS says "a girl can never have too many shoes" when shes buying her 100th pair.

I have like 6 or 7 i think, but I only really ever wear 3 of them.

But I do always end up spending money on games, or toys/keyrings/collectors things which are releated to certain game series which I really like, which is silly because I always spend what little money I have on them!

Yeah that's what I usually think when I'm shopping, and the fact that I live with my parents means that I don't have anything more important to save for so I just spend it all. Although I'm really going to have to start saving for uni soon... I've decided to wait til I get a job to save up though.

About shoes, they're always worth the money. I've got ten pairs of trainers, a pair of football boots, a pair of shoes and a pair of climbing shoes. And I need more trainers.

 

[Fusilli]

I don't have many pairs of shoes at all actually... I have a pair of vans that I got on sale... two pairs of cons that I got on sale.. and a pair of gold shoes when I have to look 'presentable' >_> Oh and my boots, which were £80 and then in the sale a couple of weeks later at £25... ¬_¬ I love trying on shoes when I go out shopping but I can never find any that I would actually wear/can afford at the time.

 

[Fusionist]

I do buy things on impulse sometimes, but most often they're just little trinkets or something. So not a financial issue, but the behavior is there.

 

[Mitsuki]

I'm usually an impulse buyer, especially when it comes to video games. I'll walk in on Gamestop, telling whoever's with me that I'll just be browsing around. Fifteen minutes later, I'll walk out with a game in hand.

But for some reason, I'm very indecisive when it comes to clothes shopping. =/ I'll go in and vow to buy at least a blouse, but in the end, I'll end up buying clothes for my daughter and husband instead, and none for myself...even though I want to have a little something for me too. I'm just odd like that.

I hate it when that happens! I remember at Xmas i bought these shoes for £70 and went back two weeks later and they were £30! I was not pleased, I'll tell you that!

 

[Reality.Fantasy]

No, I'm worse at shopping. I've spent $1000 in the past week on clothes alone, and now I expect to spend $700 more on more stuff I don't need. I think this is because I never shopped when I was younger, and I'm just getting it out now. xD

 

[Bei Bei]

I am a horrible shopper, with and without money. I like to buy the first thing I see that I like, especially when it comes to movies or games. And whenever I go into a shop with the intent to buy something, I hate leaving without buying anything, so I make myself buy something.
