are you an impulsive buyer?

do you buy on impulse? do you buy things just because you like them not thinking whether you need them or if it's a wise buy? just to find out when you get home that you already have that thing you bought.

I rarely make impulse purchases. Occasionally I have regretted my choices, but not too much. Occasionally after I invested so much decision making, and the item either goes on sale soon afterward or I find I had overlooked a different selection that may have better suited my needs.

I'm one of those people who can never decide what to buy and I moll over it for a long time. The only exception is if it's something I really need or usually buy. Otherwise, I check out all my options and really look around before making a purchase. I am on an extremely strict budget and every dollar counts, so I have to be really careful. But, sometimes, I think I'm a little too cautious, though. But, that's how I've gotten by on a part-time income my whole life.

Oh my, I'm the impulsive buyer. Just Friday I went charity shopping with my partner. I'd already got a pair of peddle pushers and a book and a game in my hands, but my partner was taking ages looking through LPs, so while I was waiting to go to the till, I picked up another three books, one of which I think I might already have. I'm addicted to shopping! The number of times I've "accidently" bought something on eBay by impulse bidding before I've really thought about it!

oh yeah most of my purchases are like that!!!! well you need means even if you have 50 dresses you need the 51 st? i need it. it will be used at the right occasion though. and if the occasion is far off still i will use it at the first opportunity. but certain things like shoes purses and mobiles you can not store beyond a particular number. so you have to be choosy, selective and then perhaps the occasion.
