When you want something, then get something different.

Is it just me or do others get something they hadn't intended on getting while wanting to purchase a particular thing? For example, you go out knowing you want shoes and instead you buy jeans? Or vice versa? I've noticed that I do it all the time. Just today I went out roaming the streets of Melbourne looking for places that may stock month-to-view diaries. I wandered in Dymocks thinking "why not?" and wound up buying two novels with no month-to-view diary.
The other week, I was on the lookout for a pair of flats and wound up buying two pairs of ankle boots (one i've been wanting for AGES and the other were basically a steal).

Why do I do it? I'm narrowing it down to these options:
  1. I'm impatient so I just grab the next best thing
  2. I'm on a spending binge because I've been broke for weeks now
  3. I deserve whatever I want because I earned this money!!
But I'm not that bad, I know that I can stop myself. In fact, I did that today, I could have bought these gorgeous shoes but thought "Do I really need it?" and I walked away :D
If anybody knows where I can buy the month to view diaries, please let me know. Aug to Dec are the most hectic months for me!
