FabSwingers.com forum: The worst shops for spontaneously buying

So today we went to B&M for literally some Zoflora and a new baking tray and ended up spending £138

This is kind of a regular thing with us, especially in places like Aldi or TKmax. So where have you popped for something mundane and ended up spending a fortune.....

it's funny when the hubby comes in from work and I tell him I've been. He just walks off saying "don't tell me how much, I don't even want to know"

Ha ha same here, I’ve spent £40 there this week in 2 visits. 1st time I intended to get light bulbs and came out with those plus a load of other stuff I can’t even remember now

Today I went to get my 7 yr old daughter some sweets as I found out she had been kind to a girl who was being bullied.

I got the sweets as well as load of noodles for my son, a wash basket and oven cleaner for the Mrs (I do spoil her lol), a make your own bath bomb kit, some other craft stuff, 50 poly pockets and a scooby do themed dog bowl

Moral of the story, don’t go to B&M with your daughter!

Couldn't really name any, i control my self, dont buy what dont need, one of the reasons im in a shop and out by the time the person before me even reaches aisle 2. But rarely visit stores, as i usually buy on ebay, why go to shop and pay triple price compared to ebay.

B&M could go in there for some toiletries and come out with a flamethrower

don't think I'll be going on ebay and waiting days of delivery to order a baking tray and some Zoflora

Yep, I’m also a victim of B&M’s sales and marketing ploys......

But lovehoney is where my real weakness hides.
