When you shop for one thing… (1 Viewer)

[Nina]

…do you stray and buy more than what you specifically need?

I always end up filling my cart with things I’m not even looking for.
I needed a parka and ended up looking at a ton of shoes and purchased an endless amount of body butters and scrubs >.> Still haven’t picked out a Parka.​

When it's food, yes. When it's other items, no.

If I'm going to look for a specific thing, like a tool or pants, etc, I'm in and out as soon as I get it.

But I will wander around a grocery store forever getting random things.

It depends. If I feel I have time, I might wonder a bit

The worst time to go to Target: when I have time to wander around.

Went shopping yesterday for jeans, and also got dog treats, snacks, alternate dinner options, looked at T-shirts....

I get anxious in stores so normally I hyperfocus on what I need to get and then get out.

I always get more than I need because I wanna “treat” myself for leaving the house. Went to the store specifically to get ingredients for subs. Walked out with the sub ingredients plus a starfruit. I almost never find them outside of this time of year and they only bring them out because of Lunar New Year. So I decided to “treat” myself. Did I need it? No.

The most important item to pick up during any trip to the stores.

There were times when I went to buy a specific thing and came back with nothing. So maybe I'm the opposite.

My puppy has learned to be okay with me leaving because of how often I bring back treats.

Starfruit is delicious. You're basically obligated to get it when you can find it. #facts

Exactly! I’ve eaten half of it already

Yes, isn't that every one of us, though?

Because we know we don't want to return a couple of hours to a few days later and we tell ourselves, "Ahh.. Screw it. I'll just get it now/today" when self-debating in the moment.

 

[StirFriedPanda]

I can't tell you how many times I came home with tons of crap to realize I forgot to buy what I went for.

 

[Violanah]

Sadly yes. Sometimes I end up buying more than what I originally came to the store for lol.
