Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.

The game "The Root trees are dead". Great game for nerds who like puzzles

Haha. All my purchases are impulse buys!

A Skil Electric screwdriver.
I thought it was gimmicky but it was $20 about 8 years ago and I thought it might be useful sometimes, I use the every living shit out of that thing to this day, and it's still going

I instantly and impulsively pre-ordered a special superduper collector's edition of Lake Mungo for ~£80. I probably shouldn't have done that. I love the film and will no doubt love the goodies and bonus features, but 80 fucking quid...

4 packs of spicy ramen from the 7-11.

And yes. They were delicious.

I just bought a cordless stick vacuum, which can also mop. It was on a good discount (450€ -> 150€) and I've been thinking of getting something like that for a while. I don't necessarily need it, but it has been a very great tool since I have people come over every week and I have a child and there are spills of food and drinks. It really cleans up well and mops the floor also. 10/10 would recommend.

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

My last impulse buy was chocolate cover caramel popcorn, very tasty. Food is the only thing I impulse buy.

A video game that I'll get around to playing in like a decade after I get through the other games in my back log but hey it was on sale lmao

Bought some frozen burgers, the TGI Fridays sliders. They're alright. Problem with them is I can eat the entire box of four in a sitting.

Veggie burrito 5:30 in the morning worth it

GeForce 5090. Had been saving up for last few years, it came in stock and I bought without thinking much about it.

It’s worth it because it’s fast. Not worth it because it was expensive and warms up the room too much. I really underestimated how hot it would make my room.

I do regret buying it. Since now I’m short on cash.

Chicken buillon powder at the Asian Market.

It's nice! I like it better than the store brand I normally get.

[–] darkishgrey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I bought one of those inflatable raft things that you can fill with water and lounge in (it has an inflatable pillow and cup holders!) and it's still in the box. I bought it in early June and then got very, very sick and by the time I felt better, I just...forgot about it.
