No, I am really quite thrifty. I hate shopping though so I am not often tempted as I avoid shops at all costs.

Now you've said that, when the baby was tiny and I'd been up for about 6 nights on a run I bought an exercise ball and DVDs on the shopping channel but never used it.

:joker: yep im deffo guilty of that too..I once bought 2x ear bud thingies cos they were 50p each (enough ear buds for me to clean my ears for the next 2 years), along with a dogs rope toy (cos it was a £1) I don't have a dog I have a cat for some unknown reason as it was a bargain I thought that meant the cat would love it...I have a vast amount of tupperware thats gathering dust too.. all cos it was a bargain lol forever buying dvd bargains too that are probably still in wrapper all because I like the film but doesn't mean I will watch them just means I have them and can watch if I want.. going up the pound isle in shops is lethal for me.. I have to have a conversation with myself when shopping 'walk past that isle.. keep going' :joker:

I've done that with CDs and DVDs I sometimes buy it in the bargain basket,even if I already have it,but that does depend on the movie:hugesmile:

Yeah man all the time, bit of a problem. I spent like $180 at Jack Wills yesterday which was really dumb considering I have a budget for the semester but it was all a bit irrational -- I don't buy clothes often but when I do I like to rack them up haha

The opposite, never buy anything unless I'd already gone out planning to do so

Takes me an eternity to buy anything of value. I lost two flats because of procrastination as I like things planned. There's a time and place for fun, and it's not with me.

:hugesmile:yeah, Im a bit more careful with internet shopping unless there is a store I can return it to, cant be doing with going to the post office and returning stuff that way.

A girl I used to work with was like that. She must have spent a fortune in petrol taking all the stuff back LOL.

Another girl I worked with used to shop in designer shops when she had a night out planned but leave the labels on and take them back the next day after she had worn them! cost effective but pretty damn cheeky

I've never done that :joker: but with regard to taking things back its the buzz you get when buying and then get home and reality kicks in and you think...okay take it back.

Not really, usually think things over and take ages to make a decision

I can be impulsive, but not reckless.
