If you are like me and sometimes find yourself buying stupid stuff for no good reason, please discuss.
In truth, I do not consider myself to be an impulsive buyer in general, however I have made some impulsive purchases.
This morning I stopped by Target to return something for MMM. While I was there, I noticed they had BYU jackets for children and the jackets were on sale. So $10 later, I walk out with a new jacket for my son.
As I'm walking to my car, I notice one of those seasonal Halloween shops has opened across the parking lot. All of a sudden I felt it quite urgent that I check out this Halloween shop.
Upon entering, i was greeted by this frightening sight. I almost left
After perusing the inventory, I walked out with 6 foam headstones of various sizes and prices. The were all on sale, BOGOs, you name it. All told for the day I think I spent $50. I went straight to work afterward.
Fast forward to this evening. I arrive home and set up my haul on the living room floor to show MMM. I spread out the headstones for her to behold in their Halloween glory.
This was the setup I was thinking would impress her
She enters the room and looks at them. She asks, "why did you buy those?" i had no good answer other than that they were on sale and I thought they would be cool to have. She asked again what we were going to do with them and pointed out that Halloween was over a month away. She asked how much all of it costs and I told her "$50." she said "that's weird." and then left the room.
Sometimes I wonder if she is out there actively searching for a better life
