I just went to my local LFS today and despite thinking “yeah, you probably shouldn’t.” for a good 30 minutes walking around the store, i dropped almost $400 and got it anyways.

My question: What are your biggest impulse purchase(s)?

I don’t really have any expensive impulse purchases on live stock, but I end up impulse buying a ton of equipment, mostly used. My most expensive single impulse item was probably $500 for a trident several years ago.

I agree :) love him. He was like 200 dollars though (barf!!!) but Ive had him about a year and a half now! Was a big impulse since I was looking for a snowflake cause they are less expensive and more common for me to learn to care for. But he was just super cool I couldnt resist! Now I have him, Ghost, Loki, and Nebula! Love my eel gang
