Most ladies will admit how difficult it is to walk along the streets, especially while heading home and not be tempted to buy something that catches her eye. There are too many unique boutiques shops, modern art objects, paintings, clothing, and jewelry. It all looks like the perfect recipe for impulse buying.
Impulse purchasing can be alleged by some as not having control over your money, no objectives in life, other than purchasing unplanned things. Therefore, in case of crises or commitment, you may not claim back the currency you wasted without purpose.
Looking at their closet makes most ladies realize that sometimes, they are the ones responsible for their burdens, torn between two attires to wear but then the eye got a glimpse of a totally annoying sight.
Often times, a woman will go shopping and buy clothes that she perceived fashionable at that time but later never wears. This is how she ends up with a wardrobe full of clothes but ‘nothing’ to wear.
Most people, especially women, have been guilty of impulse buying a spur of the moment unplanned decision just before a purchase. Moreover, ladies must have perfected granny’s art of ‘impulse buying’. Strolling with her in the shamba, she would pick everything, even if it was not to be prepared for dinner that night.
Impulse buying ultimately, it all boils down to self-control. When our desire to own an item is stronger than our self-control, impulse purchases are inevitable.
