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 
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.
