Impulse purchases
 

Not often I make impulse purchases.

Was just killing some time waiting for my wife to get her hair done in the area and popped in to No-Frills.

Not intending to buy anything.:sHa_shakeshout:

But No-Frills has Mild and Hot Italian Sausage on for $1 a lb and Tuesday is Seniors day 10% off

So I bought 100 lbs last night for $90- ish

Today I am cutting out of the casings-mix the two together add some ground game and re-spice to my tastes-toasted Fennel seeds etc and re-stuff.

Christmas shopping done-Will gift 10 lbs to every family member. Cheapest Xmas ever.

Look on my Wife's face was priceless as I had all 100 lbs on the front seat when I picked her up at the salon.

What was your last impulse buy?

I was in Cabela's on the weekend checking out what was on sale. We got some Cabela's/Merrel hikers for Mrs Caber for $30 and I splurged a whopping $1.76 on myself for two Cabela's aprons (one on black and another in camo, both their the logo on them). At .88 cents each they said 'bring me to your wood shop and smear glue on me instead of on your clothes'.

Mrs Caber also found some items useful for some Christmas gift exchanges, among them were some margarita mixes and drinking paraphernalia that were 90% off. she grabbed a few $9.97 items for under a buck a piece.

Also from cabelas- 3 high end fish finders on a huge sale. I spent a few thousand, at regular price I would have never even thought if it.

Work stations from a government auction.

Mine was a Rossi M92 16" 44 magnum..... I saw that little carbine and it had to come home with me. $550 - couldn't go wrong!

i bought the BCL 102 on a whim. Liked the look of it, non restricted AR so why not.

I'm not sure,
Most things require some thought process.

For me, most things require a nod from the finance department.

Thankfully, IncrediGirl sure enjoys shooting, and encourages the IncrediBrats to do the same. :)

Has that come in yet or are you still waiting?

Still being manufactured. Should ship by the end of the month.

Mine was a Trager pellet grill at Costco. My wife had to run back to the frozen goods and I was left standing with the cart by the Trager salesman....Salesman was very knowledgeable and entertaining, had the kids doubled up laughing, 100% impulse and walked out with a new BBQ and it has turned into the best purchase ever

I just bought a sous vide machine to speed up the sausage making this year.

Well. A while back I spent about $12K for a certain Colt Python I wanted. In the time since, I found out it is worth 3-4x that...so I'm happy. Most impulse buys I'd be happy to break even!:)

Bought a Lund 14ft. side consul in Aug. Took it out once and realized how much I disliked pretty well everything about it. Sold it a few weeks later for a 1K loss and now am the fortunate one who has a better half that takes tons of fun in reminding me of this particular purchase on a whim I made.

Our neighbor at our cabin on lake wabamun who was 90 got sick in September and said he was looking to sell. I was not looking to buy but I told him I would buy it. Deal closed Sept 15 and unfortunately he passed away a week later. 450k impulse buy .......

Well, you just scorched my impulse buy record! :lol: End of the day, you will come out ahead, land is a good short and long term place to park your coin.

I tip my hat to your buy. :)

2 Polaris 800 pro rmks. I knew I was buying one but the deal in 2 was too good to pass up.

$48,000.00 handgun???:scared0015:

Well thank you. I figured I could not go too far wrong. A friend of mine just sold a very similar empty lot for $440k just down the road. Bonus is the place has a newer 24 x 20 garage to pack full of junk. Plus a 3 bedroom cabin. And we don't have to deal with any neighbors :)

Apparently. I talked to a guru in the USA who know's his stuff and that's what he figured it was worth at a Rock Island auction...it's a one of one. He sent this link to show me what things go for....my Python is different, but has some similarities to it. If nothing else, I've met some interesting people through this purchasing event! :lol: The individual who gave me the info has one of two 3" Carol Wilkerson Pythons, and his is the only one in new unfired condition. So he kind of has street cred...when you have a gun worth $100K USD +......hard to argue.

Last year went to Costco for some ThanksGiving items. Came home with 60 inch TV .

Went to Costco for steaks and came home with a margarita machine.

In my defense it was the 5th of May.

It's THE Alberta gun! Right?:sHa_shakeshout:

Saw a 1944 m1 carbine for sale yesterday. Didnt want a restricted 18" version though so passed. Found a reproduction auto ordanace with a NR 18.6" barrel m1 carbine and its in the mail now... It was 20% off retail. How could i pass that up?

I had a weather delay in Yellow knife went downtown to kill some time and bought a black seal pelt. Why I have no idea???

:thinking-006:

What brand?

Edit - nvm - auto ordnance.

Most of my 2 firearms have been impulse buys.

Brother, you need to let loose and spend! Let me be your addicted guide....

Ive heard mixed reviews about Auto Ordnance M1s but as long as its reliable ill be happy. I wanted something i can plink with and not worry about value, being a 100% replica isnt that important to me either which probably helps.

Lol. Ok, 3 firearms. I was loosing track. :thinking-006:

Don’t worry, my addictions are getting fine-tuned. :acigar:
