Impulse Buyers!!!!!
- Thread starter dragonlance
- Start date
...Man, I'm still impulse buying, but they're good impulse buys now. Well...they're things I've wanted for a long time already and then they appear on eBay or someone is selling them, so I snatch them up immediately! Kind of a partially-planned impulse buy???

haha, i'm ashamed to admit that i did that once with a chair that i thought would be really perfect in my bedroom...but i already had two chairs in my bedroom and no need for a third.
i felt so bad for the salesman. he looked so bored because obviously no one was coming in that day, and even a bit sad. he just about tackled me when i walked in the door. he was really trying to sell me on it. i knew i absolutely didn't need that chair but that salesman was thisclose to pathetic. so i bought it. i like the chair and all but...yeah, i definitely didn't need it.
i am the worst impulse shopper. i don't even want to talk about it.

I'm good at impulse buying.. 
But lately I've been taking a long time trying stuff on and avoiding the shops when I'm hyper (I usually buy a whole bunch of crap during this time
).
And I stare at myself in the mirror for a very long time and let my brain process information much looooonger before I buy things now. I stopped myself buying a few sweaters which would look completely alienated with my style..Foof, I'm improving.

I don't impulse buy as much as I used too before, I even if something is cheap, I don't necessarily feel the urge to buy it, I want to see everything as an investent and something that will ad to my wardrobe, ive started become more true to my own stye, and don't feel i have to buy something if i haven't done so in two weeks.
I used to go crazy before.
But now I don't feel like waisting my money on a cheap top, only because it is chap and problaby of bad quality.
I also make list before each season over things that I a going to buy and that fits into my budget, apart from a few selected key-items I take it from there and see where the mood brings me.

I"m so glad I found this thread today....I think I officially have a problem.
Let's me recount the damage I've done this week:
I went to the mall solely to get some items from Bath and Body works but ended up making my way to the clearance sale at Lerner and ended up spending way more than I should've there.
Before that I went to VS to get some clearance panties..that purchase was actually planned so I don't feel to bad about it. What I feel bad about is a couple of days later I went back to buy some more panties.
There are som other purchases that I've made this week and I feel terrible cause I know I shouldn't be spending moeny like this. It's not that I'm spending lot of money (i'm a bargain shopper) but I feel bad because I feel like I have to buy something. I've paid all my other bills so I have som money to throw around, but still. I feel I'm being just a bit of an irresponsible impulse shopper. I feel the need to shop every pay period. Someone help me curve this behavior!

I am a complete impulse buyer. I buy things all of the time that I don't even want, or need. I don't even use them half of the time. I plan to return them, some of the time. Then, I forget. I find them in my closet, ages from when I got them, and end up giving them away.
