Normally I can get through the line at the grocery store without adding anything extra to my cart, but this week I succumbed to temptation.
To be fair, though, it was the Food Network Magazine cheese issue. It’s a whole magazine of chefs talking about wonderful things to do with cheese, and our love of cheese is legend around here.
How often do you give in to the impulse buy? What is most likely to tempt you?

I might by a National Geographic–especially if it has space type photo or ancient history stories. A soda usually finds it’s way into my cart.
Cheese is usually my impulse buy. No matter what I go into the grocery store for, I always come out with cheese.
I tend to impulse buy nail polish and books for Lexie.
I am horrible with impulse buys. Or dollar sections. No, I don’t need it, but it’s only a dollar!!! Which is why I have way too much crap, like 7 Tide Bleach Pens, tons of packs of gum, even though I can’t chew gum because my jaw is a piece of crap, and all the magazines. It’s something I’m working on. Sometimes.
I know they have candy bars/ice cream at the counter for a reason. But yes, sometimes I go for the ‘On the road’ excuse and get one. That’s about as impulse as I go.
Don’t tend to grab things in the checkout lane.. my impulse buys are usually things on sale I hadn’t even considered to get when I set out…
Those little tins of Altoids minis. Particularly the cinnamon ones.
