Impulse Buys

[Pike]

Are you good at controlling the urge to buy something when it's cheap?

I'm pretty bad at it. Especially when it comes to things like Steam sales. This is probably why I'm broke all the time.

No, I don't know how many items I've wanted to cancel, but couldn't, on Amazon. I think I must be banned from Amazon. :upsidedow

I'm terrible. If there is something I want, I buy it. Luckily, you have some time to cancel an order on Amazon, but not on eBay. Must've wasted so much money.

I spent $750 in 8 days. You tell me.

Can't resist this Hickory Farms.

I will give myself credit here: I never spend more than what I have. I always save enough money to get me by.

[Denmark]

i like to get things! but i don't really do it all that often. i'll buy a bunch of things all at once and then not buy anything for another 6 months or something.

[Jowy]

Sometimes I buy a candy bar at the checkout in the grocery store, but other than that I'm rather conservative with my money.

[Slothy]

I'm normally fine so long as I don't see someone in my Steam friends list playing a game I want that's only $5.

Relying on one paycheck for 3 1/2 months has curbed my desire to buy things. I have a feeling once we're back on our feet again we'll resume our once a month spending day ritual where we just spend the day going shopping with a limit for both of us (and we don't spend more than we can afford) and after that day is over, spending on ourselves is over until next month

[Futan]

Steam sales are about all that get me. :x Been good the passed 2 though. XD

[Aulayna]

Money burns a hole in my pocket if I have too much of it. But when I'm budgeting I'm very controlled.

[fire_of_avalon]

The only luxury I really buy is internet service, tbh. Too broke to do much impulse buying.

But sometimes I get to have candy. And sometimes I get to buy something girly like perfume.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm helpless in the face of cheap videogames. Anything else I can resist without trouble, but videogames for much less than the price at release? Not a chance.

[Pumpkin]

If I have extra money I will impulse buy, if I don't I won't.

[Raistlin]

I generally don't impulse buy, and am pretty frugal with my money. On those rare occasions where I do let myself go, I can spend a lot very quickly.

[Shorty]

Now that I think of it, I don't do much impulse buying. When I want to buy something, I spend ages decidiing over which pair or shoes or which gizmo or gadget I want to get from etsy, etc. Takes me a long time

[Bubba]

I never purchase items that a store has placed strategically at a checkout counter. I won't allow myself to be enticed... even if it's something I really need. That would mean they have won.

I would rather nobody won... not even me.
