GRIZZLY PEAR

The joy of an impulse purchase

There was a buy 2 get 1 free board game sale at Target last night so we rushed off to pick up a couple copies of Operation for our daughter and her friend and a treat for me.  Even though this deal ran for another week, Operation was further discounted “on sale thru monday” which made last night a little bit of a rush to figure out what other $14 item we should purchase.

I ended up picking up a copy of Kahuna, a now-old Kosmos 2P game. Its a title that I had seen over the years but I have never researched particularly thoroughly, but the price was right and the selection wasn’t great.

In the age of the internet and unlimited returns, it has been a while since I impulse purchased something that I doubt I will ever return, even if it comes up “meh”.  It was actually quite a thrill and I had a hard time falling asleep after our rush.

I can see how this gets addictive. Most likely not a good thing, though I assume the occasional indulgence isn’t the end of the world.
