Are You an Impulse Buyer?
« on: July 05, 2019, 05:22:58 am »
I used to be a much more frequent impulse buyer.  I have become much more disciplined in the last 10 years or so. Shopping used to be my therapy.  I do have a problem in the remodeled Target here in town because their health and beauty department is awesome.  I have to be careful there.

Yes I have to admit I am.  If I'm shopping and see something I really really love/want I will buy it.

Not really.  Depends on the items.  If it is a really good deal or something new and really cool.

Yes, I am!  I'm getting much better at stopping the impulse to shop and buy but it is a struggle!

No, since retiring some years ago, I have become even more discipline then I was when I was working full time. I like to comparison shop, so that helps.

Personally, I prefer saving and earning over spending.  I spend when necessary.   :heart:
Have a great day!

Several years ago impulse buying was definitely more of a problem for me. I didn't buy too many things that way, but I bought enough that I didn't need and loss some money on to teach me to have more discipline in how I shop. I now have committed myself to saving more and spending less. Besides I want to be careful since we have some larger expenses that we'll need the money for like a washing machine and car repairs.

I can walk into the store only for a few things and walk out with half the store. If I see a good sale, I will buy the product. I always keep up on the latest sales that go on from week to week.

I usually stick to what I am after when I go shopping.  However, I have ordered a few items online that just happened to cross my Facebook feed......impulse purchase for sure!

Sometimes but less than I use to because of being financially challenged.

Yes unfortunately sometimes I am sometimes I’m practical and say oh I don’t need that but then I’ll say something and I’m like oh my gosh got to have that and buy it and then regret it.
