Honestly, I am.

I am not really proud of it. I always regret my Ebay and Amazon purchases once I receive my bill. I really have to stop it.

I grew out of it LOL. I got tired of cleaning out my closets and realizing how much stuff I have that I don't wear or use so I've made a concerted effort to only buy what I really like and am sure of. With clothes, it means I spend more but have fewer pieces, and I've got to admit I'm happier.

No, I wouldn't say I am a compulsive buyer. I usually look for what I want, not just look and buy everything I see. I can't afford to do that.

Most people I know are much more conservative today in buying ..especially clothing. One bad financial period or one big closet cleanout and you learn a few lessons lol.

I am an impulsive buyer. It is a bad habit...lol. I clean my closets out all the time, getting rid of things I dont need or use. It really is a bad habit.

I tend to get caught out by things like DVD's and toys for the kids. Not particularly things they need but although they seem cheap by the time I have bought a few each week it mounts up to around £100 per month. Crazy really but it feels good at the time.

My impulse buying only hits between about early October and Christmas time. I tend to get lots of little things so the kids have a lot to unwrap-nothing expensive as a rule, but it means that I have a ridiculous amount of things to wrap!!

I'm an AWFUL impulse buyer!

If i see something, and vaguely desire it at the time, i'll buy it!

It happens a lot with confectionary. However, recently, i ended up with these things:

(ignore my facial expression... it doesn't normally look like that ;) )

Those things were £3 each. I couldn't resist. There were 2 on display in the shop, so i asked for them. The woman came back from the back with a third one, and i couldnt say no!

I'm not an impulsive buyer, i'm nowhere near. I hardly EVER part with cash, i'm terrible for it. I can really like something, but end up not buying it just because it would mean spending.

However, I am going to spend about £200 on clothes for college. I'll cry at the amount i'll be spending, but it needs to be done.

I'm not really an impulsive buyer...........I would be totally, if I had the money. But, I pretty much have to ask permision to buy stuff, which a lot of the time, Paul says yes too, but he's says no quite a bit aswell.

I'm also always limited by how much I can carry aswell (perhaps where online shopping comes in useful eh?). Any more than 2 light bags of shopping, and I struggle:P
