Impulse Purchases

...do you do this?!

So I was just up at the DVD store picking up a movie for hubby and me to watch tonight and the appliance store is right next door. Hubby said to look at an electric razor for him... which I did.. but you know on the way I was walking down the hair appliances aisle and there were all these neon paper signs - actuallythere were signs throughout the store- 50% off this, 30% off that, OVER 60% off something else... signs, signs, signs - blinding, bamboozling, bewitching...

And there it was - Remington's Bohemian Curls - over 50% off - from 80 bucks to... 15.

Yep, 15. Hot pink sign that one.

Now I need a hair curler like I need a hole in the head. I have no TIME to use a haircurler - hell some days I don't get the comb all the way through the hair that hasn't seen a hairdresser in almost a YEAR (I'm ashamed to admit).

I just tie it back in a ponytail mess and that's it for the day.

But you know I did it don't you. I left that store clutching my 15 dollar bargain bohemian curls thing...

...sad, sad, sad. Please tell me I'm not alone in this! ;)

But it was on sale! Of course you had to buy it for just 15 dollars, down for 80! :)

Whenever I go shopping for 3 things I end up walking out with 23! Take heed--you are definitely NOT alone.

Hey Nat!

I must also confess I haven't been to the hairdresser in about a year! My style is pretty much just a bun until I can find the time to horrify the poor woman who usually cuts it :)

Oh Nikki - terrible isn't it?! And I am religious about booking the kids in each term... but then they take 5 mins and cost 5 dollars and mine? Well mine doesn't! ;)
And yes, I'm mortified by the time I show it to some poor hairdresser too :)
