Shameful Impulsive Buys-We've all given in to the temptation

So for whatever reason. despite the fact I make less money in the summer...I have been spending more of it. But not for things you have to pay for like your phone bill, or car insurance, instead I have been buying just random stupid stuff. So today Rochelle and I went out on yet another trip to Walmart...which is like the mall when you live in a small town. We had to get a few things for work. My game plan was JUST to get work things. I did okay until we got the toy aisle to look at more work things. (we work for the school system) Then I saw a knock off of "Silly Bands" and it just so happened they have a bag of dragon ones...which I do not own yet. So of course I NEEDED those. Later we went to the Dollar General and as we were leaving I had done so well not to buy anything, and then I saw it....Michael Jackson school supplies....so I felt it was important that I get some of those too. You need school supplies..and I feel like it is my civic duty to pay homage to the kind of pop. There was like 8 dollars spent. Why do they put the coolest silliest stuff right up front, I am telling you marketers are smart. I rarely leave a store without gum, Tic-Tacs, an Us Weekly....or Michael Jackson school supplies....What are some of your favorite or most embarrassing impulse purchases?
