      People who buy things just because they pass by them is crazy to me

      Like, I’m not a poor boy by any metric (I make above median wage here) but jfc do people have literally no will power? Like they see an ad on TV/The internet and immediately feel the need to consume?

      Granted, my shopping lists are vague (usually just like ‘meat&vegs for x days’) and then once i’m there I pick what’s on sale and strikes my fancy, but I don’t buy a fucking spare toaster oven just because the store moved the aisle and you need to go past the kitchen appliances to get to the meat.

      A much better reply that my planned “it’s intentional” response. Enjoyed that - thanks for sharing.
