Returns

I didn't even know people without little kids went to party supply stores. Also, to build a birdhouse one usually goes to a hardware store, not a craft store where a tiny piece of wood is $11.99

Dude, lean into this!!! Go buy glue and use everything you bought on making the birdhouse...that’s birdhouse will be decked out and your neighbor will be jealous

Next time I build a bird house for whatever reason, I will keep this in mind.

How do you not realize how much you bought or spent when you literally have to carry each bag after shopping and paying it at the checkout. What kind of autopilot is that? But did you try to return some of the stuff? I mean I bet many of the stuff is still unopened and can be returned without any problem?

It was less of an autopilot and more of me being extremely irresponsible, but even then I still have no clue what possessed me today. Also I’m probably going to return lot of this stuff tomorrow since it’s late at night and the stores are closed.

What you describe is exactly why Target is so successful with moms. Covid stay at homes definitely hurt them for a while, because people couldn’t come and do this.

Might have some impulsivity struggles going on - if you have problems with spending, leave the cards at home and give yourself a spending envelope with only a certain amount of money in it. This’ll restrict you from purchasing more than you’re there for. Also don’t go into a store “just to look” if you have this kind of problem. Make a list, stick to the list and get out.
