I rarely buy on impulse. I think it over many times. If I purchase online, I read the comment section to see what others had to say about the item. That’s not to say I haven’t ever wished I hadn’t bought something. But I also must say I’m not the spender in the house. My DH is. When I would mention something he bought that wasn’t really necessary to my mother, she would always say something like, well he could be spending money in a bar or gambling it away. Gotta love my mom. Set me straight.
