Impulsive buying and SALES

Tweet

I think I am an impulsive buyer because I tend to buy something that I want when I see it. Though I really weigh down if I need it or if I can pay for it and survive til the next payday. And I look for those items because I had a prior need for it that is not urgent. Anyway, despite the impulsive buyer that I am, I can't get others who buy useless stuff that are on sale. I was with the mall with my boyfriend last week and we passed through this "Bag Sale". Naturally, there were a lot of people. I've actually bought a few bags from that sale like a month ago. Anyway, there was this new item that costs Php 5.00 (about USD 0.11). I saw a couple (husband and wife i think) looking at the item. I think it wasn't a bag, it looked weird, like the clothes of the Sto. Niño figurine. The husband was trying it on and the wife was holding it up. I was like "What the hell is that crap and why will they buy it?" I told my boyfriend this and added that it's probably because it's just Php 5 and then they immediately thought of a "need" for the item and think they got a bargain out of it, when in fact, they just bought trash. I mean, there were a lot of useful bags in there, I bought a 2 zip bags for the charging unit of my laptop and my sister's as well.
