My biggest impulse buy! (whats yours)

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, 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

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

happens 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.
