Mine is without a doubt ties.

I bought 6 more today and I have well over 150 now, probably close to 200. And I only have to wear them 2-3 days a week.

I'm not sure what it is, but every time I'm out shopping for anything, I always pick up a couple of them.

I have at least 5 of every color, and now I'm working on the different stripe variations and patterns.

I got one of those electronic tie organizers for Christmas and have already had to buy another since it only held 120.

Most of them I've only worn once.



What are some of the things that you guys buy impulsively all the time ?

My second one would be sneakers

60+ pairs, at least half still in the box

food.

i walk around the grocery store and think, "oh, this will be good! and this will be good with this. oh, i should get some of this since i picked up that already. i should really make some guacamole tonight. i could really go for a salad. man, that looks good, and it's on sale, i should buy three... or maybe five."

i probably have 12 cans of diced tomatoes in my pantry, and inevitably some of the food will go bad before i even get to it.

went to GNC.. bought 2 protein powder jars and 2 boxes protein bars and other stuff (it was the first 7 days, plus a sale on top of that)

$220

the next day i went back and returned most of it. ended up getting like $150 back because i went home and told myself "i dont need all of this".. and i was right. im still on my first jar of protein powder

ammo. I always buy more than I need, and always seem to buy some whenever I am in a sporting goods store. I have enough to go to war with Portugal and win.

No idea why I singled out Portugal. Everyone I've ever met from there has been nice.

Suits

I swing by a Haggshins just wanting to get a look at some new collars and then an hour later I'm on my third fitting and can't fit my pda in any of my pockets because they're all full of cufflinks and Dharvasil warranties

"

i DEFINATELY do this. all the time. I pick up all this stuff for meals that i might possibly make in the next couple of weeks so if i have the desire to make them i will have the ingredients. Mostly because i hate going to the store to buy like 3 things. And yes, some of it also goes bad before i get to do anything with it

My lord, me too. I did the Grocery Game for a while, but my boyfriend made me stop when not only was food all over the kitchen because it wouldn't all fit inside the cabinets, but filling up the backseat of my car and trunk too. I'm still bad, though. People tell me our fridge looks like it belongs to a family of 8. But I don't let things go to waste.

i made guacamole this past weekend just because i had the stuff and i knew if i didn't make it the avacodos would go bad.

i ended up giving it away, but that still made me feel better than having to throw away rotten avacoados haha

shoes
bags (not necessarily pocketbooks, but things like timbuk2 messenger/duffel bags)
threadless tshirts

anything "for the house"...even if i don't really really need it i feel better about spending the money thinking i'm somehow adding to the value of the house (even if i'm not really).
