All the things by the cash registers....placed there to entice the waiting in line customers. What are you likely to "waiting in line" impulse purchase? Gum? Candy bar? Mini bottle of lotion? Mints? Snack food? Lip balm? Beverage? Electronic gadget? Etc.... Me: A bag of Fritos. Especially if I've had a rough day or two. No self control.  |

A Coke, along with a bag of chips or candy bar. On a really rough day it would be both.

King size Milky Way most of the time. Occasionally Twix or KitKat.

Nothing. Because of my allergies, I can not have any of the check out lane items.

Usually a twix bar.
I've grabbed things for stocking stuffers in the check out too - batteries, gift card, candy, nail clippers.

I bought the 12 days of hot sauce at Cost Plus as a Christmas present and no one is interested in my household. I hate to throw it out, but would it be weird to pawn off on my neighbors, or just Let it go! We are moving so I'm trashing a bunch of crap but can't seem to let the 12 days of hotness go.

My Aldi has the cut flower bouquets right at the checkout. That's about the only impulse purchase I'm likely to spring for unexpectedly.

Nothing in the super market.
But at anthropologie and Sephora I’ve grabbed cute hair clips, hair bands, and lip gloss lately.
I’m a sucker for a cute hair accessory…

I only get snagged at tjmaxx. Nail polish, candles, holiday candies, or dog toys.

I bought a plant at Aldi last spring and it was the prettiest begonia of the season. I may have bought one or two things at TJ Maxx or HomeGoods but the grocery store stuff doesn't tempt me since I stopped buying magazines.

Nothing really at the grocery store but I always seem to fall prey to a new lipstick or balm at Sephora.

I usually go in the self checkout lanes so never tempted but even in regular lanes I don’t buy. If magazines sometimes I will look through one but it’s been a while.

I wish we lived near each other. I buy those every year and they are gone within a week after Christmas. My Dh & ds1 fight over the bottles. It would be well-loved and consumed in days. I am tempted by special recipe editions of magazines at regular stores at checkout and flowering plants at TJs. |

If I'm buying a candy bar I usually get it from the candy aisle not the checkout. If something is going to tempt me, it's probably gum...

I look forward to seeing what I didn't know I needed every time I go to TJMaxx.

Is it an impulse if you plan on it?
At the grocery store, my Sunday treat to myself is a Peppermint Patty. It’s in the checkout line, but I am looking forward to it from the minute I walk through to doors. Other places, I look but rarely bite for those last minute enticements.

Sure, if you're neighbors would like to have it, give it to them. |

Very seldom do I buy something, but maybe something new in the way of candy. I remember buying the coffee flavored M&Ms one time. A Zero candy bar because my grandma use to give those to us.

The gum I like is hardly in stock. When I see it, I’ll buy a few of the cup sized containers (green trident unwrapped).

Almost never. A couple times a year I might have a urge to buy a chocolate bar or candy at my small town grocery store. Never ever when I'm in the city.

After impulsively buying a box of Aldi sugar free butterscotch and eating two on the way home I've learned my lesson to ignore the checkout 'goodies'.
