Oh this is soooo true! Many years ago I was addicted to any kitchen device/gadget that was advertised on late night tv. I made it a rule to write down the number but not to buy for a week or two. I can't tell you how much I saved in stupid impulse buys. (Now if I had a dollar for every 1-800 number I found around the house ...)

Although I have overcome those impulse buys, occasionally I get attracted to something or the other guaranteed to save time, money or labor. LOL. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE ... Now what I do is check Amazon for reviews on the item. That, in itself, has prevented me from buying a certain amount of junk!
