Ahhh, most of the time I try to save up, but sometimes I'm just like...but I can't wait anymore! I get too excited and I just go for it. Oops!
Have you ever told yourself you were going to save up for a product and then just went and bought it anyway?

I never spend money that I need, but I did intend to wait until December to buy the Njoy Eleven, then bought it anyway... I had the money, but I was going to use it for another "fun thing".

Same here. I only consider it to be a saving up purchase when it's $100 or more.

yes, now you understand why I'm always broke... i don't usually do this with toys; instead I do it with my wardrobe

I have. Right after I decided to save up, the item went on sale, so I jumped on the deal. I've had that happen a few times.

I can't afford to splurge on the Eleven, so I am saving points, giftcards and hoping for the day that it becomes more in reach (less than $100 out of pocket). I don't really have the choice but to save if I want it!

I have enough points to get one of the items that I want... but I'm halfway to another one... just have to decide which one I want more... decisions decisions decisions....

The wife and I did the same thing. We live in Atlanta where the Factory is and they have a store you can go to. So we went one day to look, and I was the one going "we'll wait and save up" and the wife just went for it. Best impulse buy we've made in a long time!

Haha, sometimes I get really impatient and just buy it anyway. I can only hold off for so long! XD
01/15/2012
Depends on if the bills are paid LOL...Hubby would shoot me if I did something like this on a whim. Depends on the price too....Wouldnt just blow a few hundred just because.
01/15/2012
I save up for items via points since I can't afford it otherwise. I'm actually doing so right now for a couple items on my wishlist that are on sale. :3 It should take 10 more days to have enough if things go well.

It just depends on what it is and how much more money/points I need to add.

It's what we say "Impulse" and it happens to most of us. If we can have it now ... why not ?

I'm horrible about doing this, haha. I do it far too often.
06/04/2012
It really does depend on the product, there are a few that I've been saving up for for a while now, but then something else more fantastical just catches my attention and I spend it all on that instead.
06/06/2012
Some things are worth not waiting!
06/06/2012
Not so much on EF, but definitely with other things...
06/07/2012
i do that all the time.
06/07/2012
I'm very very impatient... lol
06/12/2012
Yes all the time! I also find that the promotions influence when I make purchases.
06/18/2012
I usually save up, until something excellent goes on sale. But eventhen, i just kick points into high gear.
06/25/2012
Yes, that has happened to me before.
06/25/2012
I try really hard to wait and save up, but every now and then I can't do it.
07/01/2012
it depends

Some toys just can't wait!
10/09/2012
This is an excellent question! Personally, if I get really excited about something, and then it goes on sale or Eden is doing one of their specials, I will get it regardless of points. I always justify this by saying "I can earn points by getting it now!" haha
