What do people buy without thinking?
Natalia J 52132116-Apr-25
Of all those, research shows the top impulse purchases are clothing, household goods, and food and groceries. What would you say? What do people buy without thinking?

    I buy household goods that I use if on sale and I could have lots at home already.

          Everything I buy I think about it (is this a want or a need) - do I still spend money foolishly on my wants (clothing and sneakers) - yes - can I afford to do so - yes - is it going to affect my standard of living (while I am still above ground) - NO! Could I blame this affection on clever advertising (buying without thinking aka impulse buying) - YES! Do I - NO! I have never been a 'saver' - because I enjoy spending money TOO MUCH. However, I have two tax-free-civil-service-retirement checks coming in every month, still getting interest from numerous saving accounts, and I am getting alimony from my ex-wife (till she dies, I die before her, or I get marry again (HAHA) before she dies). Life is SWEET, except for the annoying Christians trying to get me to 'save' my SOUL - I am a hard-core-atheist - WHY would I want to 'save' my SOUL.

                Boredom, loneliness, unhappiness, general dissatisfaction with things, malaise....You look to fill a perceived need. Sometimes, people think that a purchase will make them feel good / happy. If it does, the feeling is usually fleeting.

                              Not a clue. I have always had to watch my pennies so I think before I spend.

                                    People buy things that excite them or bring them comfort.

                                      immediate wanting prevails over needing.

                                        I have too many clothes. I tell myself it's because my weight fluctuates so much that I need 3 wardrobes. It's expensive and annoying. I am becoming more open to buying from thrift stores.

                                          Something on sale, even when it is something they absolutely do not need & I am sorry ladies, but we are the worst about this.

                                              Never go shopping for groceries when you are hungry because you buy more than you need.
