My biggest impulse buy!

[ivank]

I got home from school today, went to best buy to ask for a mercury battery for my OM-1 SLR camera, which they do not sell, some sh*t about the environment:nope:, saw the PS3, and decided to buy it!

stuff bought:
SONY PS3 250GB
G.I. Joe Blu Ray
Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising

Overall it has been a good day:yeah:

[Task Force]

Biggest one I did was... hmm...

Went to bestbuy to get a new keyboard, left with a 28 inch Monitor.

* edit, and the time I went to get a head set since my old one broke. (went to same best buy.) and came out with a 124 dollar head set, That store sure has pulled some money out of me. lol

[ivank]

nice.

I wonder what other peoples were!?

[ivank]

:Dhappens to the best of us. I myself am eyeing a $80 headset for the PS3/PC. If I get it this week, I would have spent $556 at best buy.

lol, that is one hell of an impulse buy. tbh I don't think I've ever really done anything like that. I did once go into a model shop and come out with a £120 R/C helicopter, that was fairly random.

I guess my biggest impulse buy would have been when I bought a Jackson electric guitar for around 4 000 SEK. €416 or $552 in todays exchange rates.

But it was in Nov - Dec 2004 so I think the Dollar was more expensive. So it may have been between 400 - 500 Dollars depending on the exchange rate at the time.

Went into my local Ford dealership to buy a set of car mats and ended up with a new Ford Focus.

I was lucky on my return home because the wifes favourite car colour is black :03:

Well Best Buy got another $60 out of me today, bought Avatar BR+DVD Combo, and D9 BR. Going back after my last final on friday to get more stuff!

I spent a total of $527 in two days, but today when I left go school I checked my mail box, and got a pay check for $240, so I figure I am good. God I love Goldman Sachs!

Petrol mileage per gallon is excellent though! :O:

Averaging nearly 45 mpg....not too bad for 1.6 litre 115bhp petrol engine....and 90% town driving at that.

This is not mine (too dirty atm to photograph) :DL....but very similar.

[ivank]

I pay on average $130 week for gas

[AVGWarhawk]

YES, YES IT IS.

That is outrageous! Do you live out on the island or something? I had a 4.1 V8 in my Lincoln and spent about $30 a week. Now I pay $20.00 a week for my 2.0T Passat. She has just as much get up and go with 200 horses as my Lincoln at 275 horses.

[ivank]

Huntington Long Island. You live in NY?

[Jimbuna]

YES, YES IT IS.

Well....adding my 1.6 litre and my sons 1.2 litre together I doubt we pay half of what your forking out and that is combining both (granted he is often away at sea) both fuel bills.

I know who to call on if I ever need a loan :DL

My biggest impulse buy was over 10 years ago. My wife now girlfriend then I bought her a $7k platinum diamond ring. And treated myself to a nice $1.5k Swiss army watch, then gave it to my father for a birthday gift since he bugged me about wanting it badly... ;)

Then I could afford crazy spending.. Now I can't lol.. Boy the times change..:D
