Impulsive Buying

Are you an impulsive buyer? What did you feel or think when you saw that product and made you buy that instantly?

yes i am an impulse buyer...and i regret my purchases the minute i receive my credit card bills!!! ARGGGh

I am an impulsive buyer!

I buy loads of stuff I don't really need. I buy most of the things online because I don't have time to shop at malls. I have access to a computer all day so I frequently check out deals at Ebay and Amazon. I'm like you kitsch_k, I regret almost all my purchases when the bills arrive.

i shop when im happy, i shop when im depressed. i should get checked into shopping rehab. haha

i buy the first item i think is really nice only to regret it later when i find a better product

exactly the way i do my shopping and then at times i will feel so bad that i end up buying the better one as well....

i think every one of us experienced this at one time or another, the important thing is that we don't become impulsive buyers everytime we go to the mall

i think to stop impulsive buying is my numero uno new year's resolution

its mine too, i'll concentrate on earning money instead of spending it this year

last year i think iwas just spending too much on things i dont really need and eating out a lot!

I used to be an impulse buyer, but since having children I've really had to learn how to control myself. Sometimes I will treat myself to something that I enjoy though; like a new pair of earrings, or bubble bath.

yeah..a lot of my friends also became responsible when they had responsibilities like this already... it's a good way of disciplining yourself.

The only thing I buy on impulse is chocolate.

I used to be really bad but I've learned to control it.

Now, I keep an eye on my checkbook register and if I see those numbers going down drastically, I slow down.

i agree. its easier to keep track of your purchases iwth a checkbook, not an atm.
