Impulse Buys Thread!

What's something you bought recently completely on a whim? It can be useful or useless, big or small, cheap or expensive.

I'll go first. I bought a fountain pen entirely because it had cherry blossoms on it. It's so pretty. Wish is a truly dangerous app.

 

Partner and I bought two things of ice cream (mint w/ fudge, cotton candy) because we happened to go down the frozen aisle and see that they were on sale.

 

I bought..... shoes..... i got a pair of doc martens but theyre basically converse. they seem ok but i wasn't planning on spending 140 dollars on shoes + insoles that day o_o

 

a few months ago i bought a plush lifesized bb-8

 

Zazzle is having a 40% off apparel sale and I'm torn between this, this, this, this, this, or this zazzlepoetry shirt, and also trying to convince myself not to buy anything at all. which I guess makes this not technically an impulse buy anymore, but if I do end up getting something I still think it will count. Currently leaning towards "i've done nothing but teleport bread for three days" or "this covers all my extra eyes".

 

I did this with ice cream sandwiches recently and discovered a new favorite.

 

hmmm, the buy itself wasnt recent but i finally got my green tea flavored kit kats in the mail. i grabbed them off amazon when i saw them in my suggested buys

 

....a bunch of aromaleigh eyeshadow....

 

A Tamagotchi Connection Music Star.

Exactly zero regrets. I found it new in package for shockingly cheap?!

Also this thing because GADGETS. Multipurpose?! Give it to me!

 

A giftcard for google play. Because i really want the roxas and namine oufits in khux and theres only 4 more days to get them. I still dont have enough to get them yet *goes to play more khux*

 

i have spent real money on pokemon go

 

*raises hand* i have done that too

 

I bought a fountain pen last time I went to the book store because it had a silver nib on it

 

back when i still used pens, pens. (the have since all started leaking and i am sad, because they were pretty pens.)

some glass baubles. a super cute embroidered top. a set of really pretty post-it note strips that i then proceeded to not use for 3 years. lots of wool - the fabric is usually planned, but i do have some fabric i spotted and was like "I have a mighty need".
since i usually have a bit of a plan on what i want to buy/a bit of spending money, there arent that many things i wouldve count as impulse buys, except maybe the sweets, but then again, i also plan for sweets...

 

Some colourful nail art jewels. (Sadly there are no red ones)

 

i maaaay have preordered myself the generations elite box of the pokemon tcg cards....and then, refusing to stop there, two blister packs (3 boosters each, one has a pin badge of mega rayquaza and i couldn't resist. the other one was technically cheaper than buying the boosters individually because it was on sale AND it has a shiny pyroar card in it as well, and my willpower couldn't say no to it)

pokemon cards are my achilles heel and #1 impulse buy item...

 

I bought a pack of 30 coloured fineliner pens because they were half price and I thought they were pretty. I don't even know what I'm going to use them for because I so rarely delve into traditional art?? And yet hoarding art supplies continues to be my biggest weakness...

 

i bought sims 4 because it was on sale and now i don't like it.......
i also bought a really old video game for nostalgia because it was $5 on steam and i DO like that!

 

I regularly buy fabric remnants from the bin, and i have absolutely no regrets

 

So tasty!
