Do you buy just for the heck of it?

I usually buy on impulse, but eventually either use the stuff or pass it on to someone who will. :-)

I try hard not to buy just for the heck of it, but I must admit, sometimes I do. Most of the time, I eventually do use it. I'm getting better at buying for something in mind though!

I shop everyday. I am resisting buying scrapping products until I use up some of my stash as I do not have anymore room. I did however buy 2 books of transparencies from Walmart a couple of days ago not being able to pass them by.

I try to buy just what I need. But, I can't resist cute paper. I think I have more paper than I will ever use, but I like to have choices! Working in a scrapbook store doesn't help either.

your looking at her...i am "queen of buying for the heck of it!!" that's me... going to buy more in a few minutes from 2 sites.... I still need to hurry and get my tickets to miami florida ASAP..... or We ain't hitting our scrapbooking cruise in March!!!

P.S. passports REQUIRED for any travel to Canada, Mexico or other as of January 2007.!!

OH this is soooooooooo me! I need to quit. I havemore than enough supplies to make my own store LOL DH is gone right now and shopping is my comfort LOL I've got to curtail my spending habits as we will be moving back stateside next spring. The internet CAN be a bad thing... most of my supplies since moving here have come from online stores :D I need to get out more :)

April is the Queen of this so that makes me the Princess!! LOL If I see something that catches my eye I usually pick it up. I too have enough for my very own store and I am running out of room but I am comforted by the fact that in a year or so I'll have the front room all to myself! LOL I figure that since I have an allowance and I don't have to worry about if I'm taking away from the family account than I can spend it anyway I want and DH doesn't mind. I am sooo addicted! ROFL

Aren't allowances fun? It's the reason I have my job, (well that and to get me out of the house!) so I can by scrapbooking supplies, books and yarn!

Cathy you aren't alone , I'm really bad too. I have to force my self to walk away without buying anything. I'm trying to use up suppiles before I buy anymore. Lin

I would not say that I "buy just for the heck of it" however, I am an impulse shopper. I know in my head what I have picture-wise that still need to be scrapped. For example, for my now (next month 12)

11-year-old's 6th birthday party it was a pirate theme, complete with costumes and a treasure hunt. I still have yet to scrap those pages and, because of the popularity of the Pirates of the Carribean movie there are some really great pirate themed stickers and embellishments available. I don't know when I will ever get around to actually putting the pages together but when I do I will have appropriate embellishments to choose from in my stock.

Me, buying for the "heck of it" would be like buying wedding stuff... I have zero prospects for marriage at this time. Therefore I steer clear of the section even though I'm sure I would be able to buy something that "if ever the day comes" I would be prepared. Because impulse buying is so easy I try to limit those impulses to themes that I know I already have pictures waiting for.

We heard today at the post office that the date for required passports have been moved back to 2009. They were open, yes, on SUNDAY and my husband asked why. The had apparently advertised they would be open Sunday because of passports, but had to stay open because of that, because the date was only changed a week ago.
