Impulse Shopping

Posted by Otaku Dan

2 weeks ago, made an order on an impulse and the package finally arrived yesterday. the weird thing is that I don't do anymore. I use to do a lot of impulse, I mean I would buy anything without giving a second thought. However, now I learned self control.

I use to have the I-want-it-now-and-I'm-going-to-get-it-now mentally but now I wait for the right time by planning it out ahead of time what I'm to get.

This package was very protected by bubble wrap and packing peanuts

what I got was Alter Rei Tachibana from Pani Poni Dash

So, do you do impulse shopping or do you plan what you are going to buy ahead of time?

I tend to wait too long to buy something. Take for instance, the Miku figma. When she was announced I kept debating on whether or not to preorder her, and next thing I know she was sold out everywhere. OTL At least American releases and re-issues saved me.

I can't afford to be an impulse buyer anymore, honestly. Though items under $10 are outrageously tempting sometimes. These days, I really gotta look ahead though... to that tuition bill. v_vV

I usually plan ahead and make sacrifices if I go on impulses. It usually works from time to time but I'm still learning to control my impulses.
It takes time in my case. -_-

I've impulsed ordered before XD I order something and about 5 minutes later, I cancel it because I thought about my budget and "is it worth it?"

I tend to impulse buy now and then. Most of the time I usually order something and forget about it until it arrives at my doorstep.

I've never bought on impulse before. I mean, I'd love to be able to, but the price always gets to me...I need to buy a figurine or two, though... T_T

Given how space is a really restricted factor now, I always think a lot before I buy it. Don't like regretting to have bought something I don't think it's deserved my taste/money etc.

I usually do a second thought, (because of monetary issues), but when the time is perfect and I like what I see, I think I cant resist the impulse.

I'm an impulsive buyer. By the way did you get a good deal on her?

I'm a poor college student so I have to be choosy about which figures I'm going to buy

@O-Dan: Like everything else, it depends. But there's probably a general rule. "The greater the cash or passion, the greater the impulse. The greater the discipline or selectivity, the greater the resistance." Something like that... You know how much discipline it took to conclude my figure collection? The threat of selling my house, lol. ^_^
