Impulse Buying
36 Answers
Are you more likely to impulse buy online or instore?
As I have done all my shopping online for the past 12 months I have saved a small fortune, no impulse buying in the supermarket because something is on offer or smells good.
I still look at the offers online but it is much easier not to buy when I can't handle them so I only take advantage if it is something I really need.
Far easier to stick to my shopping list and check that I actually do need it before ordering - I can't look in the cupboard when I'm at Tesco.
Aldi is just down the road from Tesco, on the way home, and I'd often pop in and buy everything I never knew I needed from the middle aisle. I have a router (for woodwork), a paint sprayer, a knife sharpener still in their boxes never used. What possessed me to buy them I will never know.
So lockdown means I'm quids in. How about you?

I don't know that I'm richer, but I'm certainly safer. I almost dread going into tkmaxx again, as I'm constantly tempted by little kitchen gadgets, cushions, weird spices, and other odds and ends. For the next few months, I can't buy a thing, as I'm paying off my share of the new roof on my block of flats. Oh joy.
Bobbi, we eat fresh from scratch in this house and find the food stays fresh for a week. Milk and eggs stays fresh for at least 10 days and cheese has a long life. Even the veg and salad stuffs keeps fresh in the fridge.
I make our bread but do keep a shop bought sliced loaf in the freezer for emergencies. That keeps well, too, and only takes 10 minutes or so to defrost (no defrost necessary for toast).

Bobbi, I've used a pressure cooker all my life as well as a slow cooker. The old fashioned stove top pressure cooker which I had to replace because I could not get a replacement gasket for it.
I invested in a very expensive electric pressure cooker/slow cooker because it was half price and I must say it is the best kitchen gadget I have ever bought. So much easier to use than the old pressure cooker and very easy to wash up. If I am doing a large brisket it turns out beautiful after a few hours slow cooking followed by a 20 minute pressure cook - all in the same gadget, no faffing.
I made a suet pudding in it for the family and it was the best yet.
