Are you an impulsive shopper?

I have bought things impulsively. I set out to buy something and end up buying something else. At the end of the day I realise that I have forgotten or have no time to buy the thing I wanted to buy the first place lol. Have you bought things on impulse just because you saw it on the window or that it really allured you into buying when you had no plans of buying it at all?

I grew up knowing that money is not easy to earn, I was trained to save from my allowance and buy the things I want from my savings. That is why I am not an impulse buyer, if I wanted something, I would save up for it. When I go to the mall or department store to buy something, I usually buy the things that I need first before I go and look around the store. At least I am already sure that I have finished my task and is no longer in a hurry.

Yes I have tried buying things impulsively and I really regretted that day! I was checking for groceries then I went to the second floor or the mall first. I saw this shirt then I bought it only to realized that when I tried it at home I notice it does not really fit me and I really don't like the design. I wish I could repeat history and never bought that shirt. I wish there is return policy but I don't have valid reasons so I end up having that shirt stocked in my cabinet for a long time without me using it. So again before buying never be impulsive and think very well if you need what you are buying before finally paying for it.

hi nikky...
I rarely have this kind of impulse hahaha. Cuz every month I tend to list the things I need to buy. It's a good practice of budgeting and managing my money. Whenever I have this impulse in buying stuff I usually buy the practical ones that I can really use and at the same feel good about my purchase.
Since I have to work for every penny that I have, I have to be practical and learn how to handle my purchases and savings hehehe *wink* Plus it is harder to get short of money when the salary is still a long way, so there I guess that's the main factor why I rarely rarely have these impulses. ^_^
