The Dumbest Reason You Ever Gave For Buying a Bag

[ItsPurseonal]

I haven’t actually pulled the trigger yet because I KNOW it’s a dumb reason… but it’s an exact match to my favorite team’s colors

(1. I would never wear it to a game because it’s too expensive to be worried about spilling beer, popcorn, etc on it, and 2. It doesn’t go with any of my “regular” clothes)

It could be your lucky charm 'team' bag... although, you're right - couldn't hardly take her with you to games, just in case of possible spillages...

Wait, do you NORMALLY spill beer or popcorn? See?

My dumbest reason?

Because I want it.

Keeping the vacation theme: Because the color name matches the holiday destination name (Mykonos). I know…this takes matchy-matchy to a new level.

But if you buy this bag, it can also be a souvenir bag. That is killing two birds with one stone, right

My kind of thinking !!

Because I want it.

Isn’t this best and purest reason??

If I am eying an expensive bag, my reasoning is

well if you average out the cost with all the deals I’ve gotten, it’s actually quite reasonably priced

Very dangerous thinking...this would encourage me to shop more products on sale so that I can buy more full price products.

The price is so good, I couldn’t leave it there!!

 

[indiaink]

Because I can't get this one, so I want that one!

It’s my 40th birthday present to myself … I’ve used it for three bags already and it’s not my birthday until next month so I’m not sure if I can get away with it again!

Always followed by: "that one wasn't it so to keep myself from further spending it's best to buy the one I wanted in the first place"

This is also cousins with: "I love this bag so much that it needs to be kept pristine. Let's find a bag that is similar so that the first bag can be used a dust collector instead of a bag".

To my shame I must admit that this is the most relatable thread ever

If I ever find the one I really wanted, I’ll get it. And ALSO have the one I bought instead.

Wait, a new reason: Because it’s my consolation prize. There, two-for-one. A BOGO, of sorts.

FOMO probably is the worst reason when I buy a bag

FOMO probably is the worst reason when I buy a bag

Same here! When I decide not to buy a bag, my inner voice says, "Fine. Spend the next year or two trying to find it on the resale market once it's no longer available and you decide you really do want it."

Currently more general shopping, but because I want to hear an update about my car in the shop. The stress of waiting is getting to me. I figure if I go spend money frivolously, responsibility will call me back.
