The best impulse purchase I have had in my life so far would have to go all the way back to my last year in middle school where I bought my PS2. Story goes, my parents refused to buy or let me buy a PS2. One day I was at a friend’s house playing his PS2 playing GTA3 and GT3, well I enjoyed it so much I pretty much had to have one. So that Thursday before my family was going to leave for Chicago I told my Dad I needed to go to Best Buy to get a couple of CD's that I wanted to listen to in the car. I told him to sit in the car because I wasn't going to be long and he agreed to wait in the car. Well not even 5min later I came walking out the door with a PS2, GTA3, GT3, Stuntman, a second controller, and a memory card. Total price came between $450-$500. When my Dad saw me his jaw dropped and all he said was "Your mother is going to kill you when she finds out about this." I agreed with him and I told him not to say anything to my Mom. Well since my Mom isn't great with technology she didn't notice the PS2 for an entire year until one day she noticed me playing it and asked when I got it. I told her exactly what I did and she just told me that I wasn't allowed to buy anymore games for it, but I did anyways. Oh and I just remembered my iPod Touch was an impulse purchased. Sorry for the long post but I thought it was good.
