agree

Noni Gilbert: Yes, impulse buy was what I was going to say. Agree, Mike!

1 min

-> Thank you, aceavila - Noni - I hate what retailers do next to the cashier to try and get us to make those stupid impulse buys. They make so much money taking advantage of our impulses and we waste so much money by falling for their traps.

agree

Jenni Lukac: Acknowledge is the way to go. Perhaps "having made a purchase out of impulse / impulse purchase instead of "buy"...

6 mins

-> I like your first suggestion of "having made" since obviously it refers to an action in the past. Although "impulse purchase" is certainly correct, I have heard "impulse buy" much more often than "impulse buy", although it does sound more informal.

agree

SLG: yes, acknowledges making (the odd) impulse buy
