My last impulse buy was a Jeep. Before that it was a motorcycle. I really need to stop spending so much money....

About $300 worth of special glue for a project I'm working on. Polypropylene is a bi**h to glue together, and I have a lot of it...

The only things I really buy on impulse are Red Bull and pizza, and usually by the time I've bought them, I've been thinking about them all day.

Does that still count as impulse buying?

Re: Impulse buying
"Coal Miners Daughter" last night.
It was on the $7 rack. There were only two left.
I actually have a connection to this movie. The Butcher Hollow set was built on my Aunt Sally's property (She's an extra in one scene). I got to meet Tommy Lee Jones and Levon Helm. Some scenes were shot in my hometown (Interiors. They really had to hunt to find places as run down as the town in the movie). And, Loretta is a distant cousin.

Re: Impulse buying
I bought an astronomy magazine and a philosophy book at the mall a couple weeks ago. Last time at the grocery store I added in a pack of gum I hadnt planned on buying along with some sorbet. Last week my wife bought Bioshock, we had talked about how it seemed it would be a cool game to get, but we hadnt planned to buy it that day or anything.
