Justifiable impulse buys?
Comments

I'm with you IA - any impulse buys I make are for the kids - and if they're in the sale that's even better!

i impulase buy quite a bit these days but something has to be VERY cheap for me to justify it.
Eg the other day I impulse bought some slad servers. We dont have any and its the sort of thing that obviously I can live witohut, we usually just use 2 forks. But these were 50p in the M&S sale so i thought, why not!
Last of the big spenders me arnt i :rotfl::beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
For me justifiable impulse buys are those that are for other people - I spent way too much on a friends birthday recently, but I saw something for triple my budget that I knew she'd love, and nothing else could come close! She did love it (phew!) though told me off for spending so much too...

I will spend on my hubby and daughters, can't remember the last time I bought myself something but I would be devastated if I could not afford a treat for the others.
I don't go mad though I just still seem to budget for nice things for them all.0
