LOL I just read this on another site and it bears me reposting it here.

Additional shopping tips: Everyone knows not to shop hungry, but you should also avoid shopping angry — studies show you'll spend more on impulse buys! Also, make a list, leave your well-meaning "helpers" at home and remember to ask for rain checks on out-of-stock sale items.

I would believe that to be true. Some more retail therapy I suppose to calm you down.

Reminded me of Groundhog Day "Don't drive angry!"

This is so true, though! You shop to feel better, but it just doesn't come.

Oh goodness, I have done in the past. Dh and I would have a fight and I would be like I'LL SHOW HIM!! and I would go buy something for myself that I didn't need and really couldn't afford, and then after I bought it I realized I just screwed myself too. That was when we were first married and I was young and stupid.

I always buy useless stuff when I'm angry. I never take DH grocery shopping with me because he frustrates me while I'm shopping and then I end up not getting what I need and more of what I don't.
