Child Item

Biggest impulse buy?

Ubbquittious

What is the biggest (most expensive) Item you have impulse-bought & were you sorry?

This very minute I'm thinking of impulse buying a kayak for about 500 quids but I'm worried I'll buy the wrong one so it's already becoming less impulsive.

A Makita Router. It was reduced from €450 to €300 and was too good a deal to pass up. I then went and bought a kit with about 20 router bits in it for about €60.

That was roughly 10 years ago.

I have never used it.

An 8pack of Bundys when really I only needed 2.

Went into expert electrical one evening after all day drinking and bought a huge rangemaster, it had a teppanyaki griddle and I didn't know what it was but it sounded cool, so I said sold!
Then I went into Aldi and there was a teppanyaki grill on sale for 15.99 and me after paying over 2grand. But sure **** it nobody died

Relocated to Spain on a whim.
Left the job, left the girlfriend and went.

Had about 3 weeks of great craic drinking with students then 3 weeks of boredom when I couldn't get a job. Apparently going to a country in the depths of recession without a word of the language was not a good idea.

Came home after six weeks 3 grand poorer and had to start the job and girlfriend hunt again.

I tend to buy loads of little impulse things than big ones

I got an FM transmitter recently. It is AWESOME
Only a tenner

The Backwards Man

Went with my then boss to Belfast once to help him buy a computer for his boys, went on the beer, as we often did at the time. Woke up the next day to the boss banging at the door, how much was that deposit? he asks. What deposit? says I?
For them three houses in Andytown says he. I checks my pocket, credit card receipt for eight grand in them, sound says he, I'll have it for you in the evening. No recollection of it at all.

Fcuker made a fortune on them too.

do it, do it, DO IT, DO IT!!!!

kayaking is some laugh, but do buy the right one, probably should have put more taught into my kayak purchase, has its limits or maybe the limits are my skills, but its some laugh.

not much of an impulse buyer as im not much of an impulsive person, but im sure i have done in the past.

Aglomerado

I occasionally randomly buy flights to places I want to go to... I wake up one morning thinking out of the blue "Whats Lisbon (for example) like?", by lunchtime I've a flight booked, annual leave and accommodation sorted!

Cupcake_Crisis

Spent $300 on a full length, oversized, completely sequinned pink and white kimono that weighs about a stone. Looks like a bathrobe, have never worn it out the front door.

Got a few nice instagram pics out of it though......

I'm not into designer goods like...at all, but sunglasses are the one thing I will spend money on as I have very photo sensitive eyes, used to work outdoors all day and my Mum developed cataracts when she was older, so an investment is exactly how I think of my Raybans. Bought a new pair this year, polarised, and love 'em. So comfortable to wear and easy on the eyes.

Bet i wasn't the only one that Google that, as yours got the leather seats?

Malari

Probably shoes for around €400 (in the sale!). I don't really impulse buy though. I tend to be really cautious.

I've spent way more on that on items that I know other people think I'm mad to spend that much money on, but a lot of thought and research went into them.

My main impulse buys are things like coffees and nice food, but still quite rare!

I impulse bought a trip to Amsterdam once, I was really drunk and woke up in the morning to find the ticket in my email. Still went.

I wish my drunk self was as good to me as your drunk self is to you.
