Impulse Buying: Have you ever purchased something only to realize later that you don't need that thing?

[Kera]

I believe that must of us have done impulse purchases at a point in our lives. We just buy something and get to realize later on that we don't really need that thing. We just bought for the thrill of the moment.

What is that thing you bought only to regret later because you don't need it?

Yes this happens to me a lot, there are times where even before buying it i know i don't really need it, but i still go ahead to buy it.

Impulse purchase happens to me when it comes majorly to fashion. I always buy clothes that I don't end up using.

When I was working full time, I loved buying shoes and scarfs. Whenever I saw a nice pair of shoes or a nice scarf, I just bought it without thinking I already have a lot of them.

Yes it is mostly when I do impulsive buying. You just buy in the spot but late realize that you didn't need it

I think that ladies fall into this trap if buying things we might not actually need. We just always have cravings for things.

I realised that l had purchased items that l didn't need because the salesman presented those items on an offer prices. So the products was very cheap and l ended up buying although l didn't need at that time.

This happens to the best of us. We always want to be impulsive when we see good deals and end up buying more than we actually need.

Yeah, I've done it and felt sorry for what I've done buying things not needed like shoulder bags. I already have shoulder bags. I just kept them and some were given to my relatives during Christmas.

Yes life has beautiful things you would just realised that a lot of fancy things you buy you never really needed them

 

[eLdavis]

In some cases, there are things you know you don't even need, but you still go ahead to buy them anyways.

That's true. Even at the point of purchase, your mind would tell you that you don't need that thing. But your emotions would push you to buy them.

 

[Augusta]

A lot of times this is what happens because we just desire things as humans. It is always good to avoid this to preserve our resources

Impulse shopping, especially in clothing, is a common occurrence for many people, especially those who love fashion and beauty. Often, a person sees a beautiful garment, is attracted to it, and without thinking much, buys it, but later does not use it. To avoid this situation, it is good to have a budget for clothing and ask yourself before buying if you will really use it. Also, waiting a while before making a purchasing decision can help reduce emotional impulses. Self-awareness and careful shopping planning lead to better use and greater satisfaction.

I have been in that position where I purchased something that I don't really need. And I seriously regretted it. I am learning to be more cautious about the things I purchase now.

I guess EarPods are some of these fancy but needless things, for some of us.

Nowadays, if a need is not obviously pressing, I don't spend a dime to meet it. I have learned from all the impulse spending I used to do.

 

[Stardom22]

l have actually experienced that thing a couple of years ago whenever l got some money during that time l would find myself buying things without planning.

 

[Augusta]

It's happened almost all the time but the issue is wasting money. Because this is a complete waste of your time
