I'm a good manager with money, and I usually buy what I need, and I even analyse before buying... everything or almost everything... or so I think.
When I read @mipiano's post, instead of impulse buying, I read compulsive, and I told myself that I was far from that. In fact, I hardly ever buy things, I'm mostly talking about clothes or shoes.
Yes, most women are fans of clothes and shoes, but in my case that doesn't work, I look more at paintings related to pictures, crafts, decorations or something I like to eat.
But let's say I'm not a fan of buying and buying. So I read the post a second time because what I saw didn't fit with what I had understood and I said to myself now yes, I think I have some things I can talk about.
Chocolates or nougats... made of chocolate.
A few years ago I was crazy about eating chocolate, but I found out why, which is beside the point. The thing is that when it's Christmas time they sell in a supermarket some turrones, which in Argentina we call them chocolates. For me, nougat is that white, rock-hard stuff.

And when I went last year and saw the variety and thinking that they were going to run out soon, I bought and bought. I thought that this way I would have enough for after that time and I could enjoy it with my family drinking mate, typical of Argentinians. Mate with chocolate. Well, I still have a lot of them, look.
I love all these flavours, and there was one more which was coconut, but I leave that one to my family, I don't like coconut very much. I know almost everybody likes it.
One is banana flavour with dark chocolate, that reminds me of a sweet that was in Argentina, then the pistachio is delicious, also the strawberry, hazelnut and three chocolates, that is to say all of them. But I think I bought too many so I won't run out. I guess they will be used up little by little.
Shoes on sale.
As I told you I'm not a shoe fanatic, I only buy when I need them. I know, that's strange for a woman, but that's how it is.

Now look at these shoes, beautiful.
I've told myself a thousand times that I can't wear shoes with pointed toes, but I bought them anyway because I loved them and they were on sale. They fit me well, but they put pressure on the front. I haven't worn them yet, but I will... I think so. There's always a special occasion and with jeans I think they would look great on me. But I hope I can resist them and they don't kill me.
Maybe I shouldn't have bought them, it was an impulse. My only thought was: they're cute and I'll wear them and they're on sale.
They're beautiful, aren't they? They're formal and elegant.
Elegant black blouse.
The day I saw it I loved it, it was at a good price and I didn't think about it. I always analyse purchases, but that day I didn't think about it. I saw it elegant to dress up and be pretty in summer, because as you can see it has no sleeves and its fabric is soft and it wouldn't be hot.

But guess what... you see the label? I haven't worn it. And I've had it for over two years. The good thing is that I love it, thank goodness. And sometimes I wonder why I haven't worn it. I have no answer.
That day I remember there were two of the same in the shop, one black and the other yellow almost golden, and I chose the black one because it matches everything and it looked like velvet from a distance. Did I need it? No, but I bought it impulsively, I think, because it wasn't very expensive, otherwise I would have thought about it.
The issue of thinking so much before buying comes from a family culture, where often there was no money and the most important thing was to eat, before clothes, and that is very ingrained in my mind. But on these occasions I win the impulse. I know I love these things and I will use them... I will eat the chocolates and they will go with the Argentinian mate.
What about you, have you had impulse buys, what have they been? You can participate in this great initiative.
Thank you all very much for watching and reading this far, I send you my best regards. See you soon.

Yummy!
Thank you!!!!π
You are not alone. I often think that I am a strange woman because I don't like shopping.
But in some ways, I am impulsive when I need some things, such as shoes or bags, and dresses. In fact, I only wear a few pairs, and I wear them until they are broken. If there are any that are not used, I will donate them.
Hey, that is a nice and elegant black dress. I also wonder why you haven't worn it :)
I am the same! I use the clothes as much as I can, I buy only when I need them and when I move from Argentina to Spain I donate all my stuff.
I will use it! It's beautiful!!! Thank you very much!π
My grandmother does the same, she always buys too many nougats, puddings and sweet bread at parties to share in the afternoons of drinking mate
I love your shopping style
Have a beautiful dayHello, good morning @avdesing
That's the way we Argentines are, yes! You are one of mine! jajajaπ
This reminds me of a pair of socks I bought two years ago and they still have the tag on them haha I showed it in my socks post and Buhito has already worn it for the first time, cheeky π
But what kind of nougat are those? I've never seen them and if I had, I wouldn't know whether to make an impulsive or compulsive purchase, I opt for the second one hahaha π
You should wear that blouse for the first time the day you meet Buhito, I decree it ππ¦
Here they are called turrones, but for us they are chocolates and they are only at Christmas time, it shouldn't be like that, they should be there all year round for God's sake!
When I train her I'll call Buhito and invite him for an ice cream!π
wow un chocolate de pistacho wow genial me encanta el pistacho se me hizo agua la boca
It's delicious and so are the others!π€£

I'm glad you got some family teaching on the correct way to shop, I must admit that it's not very common to find a lady who doesn't love shopping
Because of diabetes I shouldn't eat, but I love chocolates
Have a beautiful dayHow are you dear friend @avdesing
I just don't care about buying clothes or shoes... better paintings hahaha my paintings and handicrafts occupy my mind.
They are delicious, but I'm not so tempted anymore, I prefer salty things hahaha thanks!
I'm not a big spender, except for my vinyl records that I keep buying. I also like to eat well, so I also spend on food. Of course, I spend on chocolate. So I understand that culture of saving and looking very carefully at what you spend your money on.
Interesting post, @avdesign. Have a great day.
!DIY
Right, the handmade discs... just kidding hahaha I'm not a spender either, I prefer hiking, enjoying nature, that kind of thing. Thank you very much!π€
As always thanks to you, I hope you have a great evening and that things are going better at home. π€
We are getting better little by little hahaha always forward, thank you!
Hasta maΓ±ana π poco a poco...
π€£π
I prefer to spend money on experiences rather than things. Chocolates are definitely a delicious experience.
Totally agree! Experiences are the most valuable thing in life.
The black blouse is super elegant and beautiful! Where did you buy it, so I can buy one for myself hahaha, I need such blouses for the gigs and concerts as I always wear black or combine black with white blouses. Don't regret buying it, you will wear it on a special occasion!
And the shoes will go as a perfect match with jeans, yes. π
Shhhh I bought it in Carrefour hahahaha don't say anything hahahaha but it was a long time ago... maybe there is something similar.
But with the shoes I can't walk too much... the toe would kill me hahahaha
Sometimes cool things can be found in Carrefour. but just sometimes haha, like in your case this blouse, it is indeed very, very nice!!
It's size S... if I don't get to wear it I'll give it to you hahaha
So, now I should hope you don't get to wear it? π€ π€£
hahahaha my friend Loli, to whom I painted the stones tells me.... you put it on when it's hot and we go for a coffee and I'll have something for the first time hahahahahaha
Good money management is ruined so close to chocolates and ice cream... As I know I am a compulsive shopper of these things, I try to stay away from them. But there is a day... there is a day when I give in to temptation.
The blouse is pretty.
About the ice cream, how right you are hahaha I'm not compulsive, but from time to time I don't even think about it hahaha Thank you so much!!!π
You'll have chocolates for a while, I think if it were me I wouldn't be able to keep them at home. Tip, wearing the shoes may surprise you the day you decide to wear them and they are unglued. I am not an impulsive shopper, I am indecisive and plan a lot, money is for other necessary things, I don't need clothes, I have enough, I worked in a store 24 years. Good food for thought. Nice week to you.And wear the blouse it looks beautiful.π€β€οΈ
I don't usually buy clothes.... I prefer other things, but on this occasion it was great. You worked in a shop! Too many clothes. I'll do it... I'll wait for the summer, now it's cold hahaha Thank you so much!!!!π
Pues sΓ, fui gerente de un complejo de tiendas y en realidad hoy trato de ir poco a ellas, solo en casos necesarios. Amiga @avdesing cΓ³mo te las arreglas para responderme tan rΓ‘pido. Estoy desvelada y decidΓ levantarme y leer un poco. Los apagones aquΓ me tienen un poco alterada, ayer 8 horas sin corriente y no me dan tiempo para hacer nada. En fin ahora voy a dormir un ratico mΓ‘s a ver cΓ³mo me va el dΓa. Chaoooo π₯°β€οΈ
Me estresa un poco ir a tiendas con tantas cosas... como que me agota, salgo cansada jajaja prefiero otro tipo de tiendas como de artesanΓas... o la naturaleza. Estaba leyendo posts jajaja y me llegan las notificaciones, soy de las personas que no puede ver ese 1 arriba jaja
Descansa, que mas tarde serΓ‘ mejor. Abrazo!
One can never buy too many packs of chocolate, you will always eat them!! I love pistachios but haven't bought chocolate flavour ones before, they don't seem to be that common here, maybe because they are more expensive than other ones, or maybe there are just too many different flavours.
I can see your concern with your shoes, if you don't wear a lot of pointed toes shoes, they can be a little uncomfortable. Shoes are a problem for me as well, in the past I've bought some flat pumps thinking I should wear something a bit more feminine, but then it just feels so odd π and I go back to my comfortable lazy trainers again.
The blouse is very pretty, it's something that I would have bought. It would go nice with a pair of jeans and your shoes. There you go, you have your outfit for your next time you go out!!!
It's true that you can never have enough chocolates, that's why I bought a lot of them hahaha I love them! With coffee they are delicious too and as you say I already have a good outfit for an outing... I'll wait for it to get warmer, but I love jeans! Thank you so much!!!π€
