What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?

Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.
My son works at a motorcycle dealer. He sends me a pic of a bike they just got in. A CBR1000RR-RSP. Well after putting on my boots and asking him if it's for sale, they said they would sell it to me. The person who ordered it had to back out so if I could make it down there it was mine. I hopped on my 2001 CBR and headed to the store where I bought the bike. And to answer the question, YES it was definitely worth it. That motorcycle is the absolute hands down smoothest machine I have ever been on. It's like riding a stick of butter down a teflon pan. I still can't believe I own one as I honestly never even thought I would ever even see one in the wild.

Stuff for my homelab. Not worth it, it's just toys for adults

Haha. All my purchases are impulse buys!

Hairband. It's fine

I guess it was a new camera bag. I didn't need it, but I wanted it. Turns out, having a bag with a long enough strap to go cross body makes it a lot easier to lug around my camera, a handful of lenses, and my tripod for a few hours while I walk around. Totally worth it.
How many bags do you have now? I'll confess I'm a serial manybagger. The damned GAS FOMO gets me almost every time.

Too well thought out to be an impulse buy!
If I didn't do it as an impulse, I would not have done it. I hated my set up for quite some time and I always was like: "some day but not today." For 2 years I was like next time... Until a night a few weeks ago I went to my room with a measuring tape and ordered everything I felt needed change. I started at 10pm and was done by 2 am. I had forgotten to order a new mousepad and now I'm once again in the mode: "next time I'll order it for sure."

This is the only bag I've bought. The first one came with my old camera, a basic Nikon bag. It was never meant for the gear I have, I've just been making it work.

A thunderbolt dock for my home office. Saves me a lot of time fiddling with cables every time I work from home.

Got some hot dogs at the store, was totally worth it. Hopefully I'll have enough food for the month. (I live in the 4th world country Amerikkka, don't judge me please)

Same, just bought two rack mount SilverStone cases for my PCs to consolidate everything. Next up is a 48U Rack mount, saw one on Facebook marketplace for around $200 (~$150USD) - what did you get?

“Game Music Disk Guide 2”(ISBN:978-4-909483-69-0). It is supervised by Tanaka “Hally” Haruhisa, whom I impulsively bought at a bookstore this past May. This book is written in Japanese, and no English translation exists.
Compared to the first volume, which strictly focused on works released on physical media as a “disk guide,” this second volume also covers works that have never been released on physical media.
Consequently, it features music from Amiga and C64 games, which are relatively unknown in Japan. This is precisely why I made the impulse purchase.Having finished reading it, I was deeply moved to read the review in my native language of Tim Follin's work.
In conclusion, this impulse buy turned out to be a huge success for me. I'd like to express my gratitude here to the bookseller who stocked this title. -

wrote last edited by [email protected]So cool! I love Silverstone cases, they're really made for homelabbers. I have a ML05 that contains 6 hard disks (2,5") in the size of a PlayStation. Spent just 30€ (35$) for one on Facebook marketplace, new.
I recently bought some more Zigbee devices to pair to my Home Assistant: door sensors and a Methane detector

I bought a whistle that claims to be the loudest whistle on the market.
It is loud as shit and looks cool on my life vest.
