The Average American Makes 12 Impulse Purchases a Month

Ya gotta love a good impulse buy. For me, it’s usually something like a candy bar at checkout.

According to a survey, impulse purchases have gone up in the past year (thanks, Internet) and the average American makes about 12 impulse purchases a month! On average, that’s about $276 a MONTH.

Here are the main things we’ve been impulse buying.

• 1.  Food and groceries.
• 2.  Things for around the house.
• 3.  Clothes.
• 4.  Coffee.  Like stopping at Starbucks because you feel like it.
• 5.  Toys for our kids.
• 6.  Delivery or takeout when we don’t want to cook.
• 7.  Books.
• 8.  Vehicles.  (How the hell do you just buy a vehicle impulsively?)
• 9.  Gadgets and tech stuff.
• 10.  Things like massages and other spa services.
