I instantly and impulsively pre-ordered a special superduper collector's edition of Lake Mungo for ~£80. I probably shouldn't have done that. I love the film and will no doubt love the goodies and bonus features, but 80 fucking quid...

Metallic mini backpack.
Worth it. I love the color, it was on sale, and I hate carrying purses.
Mini Cheetos in a tube and god fucking yes it was worth it, first time I've ever eaten Cheetos and had clean hands.
May I introduce you to the concept of chopsticks?
May I introduce you to the concept of pouring a tonne of Cheetos into your mouth?
May I introduce you to the concept of pouring a ton of Cheetos onto a plate, then picking them up one-by-one by adhering your tongue to them like a chameleon?
You can chameleon them out of the tube if you want to be fancy, I'm trying to save us some time, no dishes to wash, no hands to clean, yeah you look like you sucked off an oompaloompa, but I can still bust sick lines on thps 3+4 with a completely Cheeto stain free controller.
30 packs of gaming cards. Hell yeah it was. Not a single good pull but it’s always fun to crack packs
Haha. All my purchases are impulse buys!
A thunderbolt dock for my home office. Saves me a lot of time fiddling with cables every time I work from home.
5 dollar jar of pickles. Damn good
Bought some frozen burgers, the TGI Fridays sliders. They're alright. Problem with them is I can eat the entire box of four in a sitting.
GeForce 5090. Had been saving up for last few years, it came in stock and I bought without thinking much about it.
It’s worth it because it’s fast. Not worth it because it was expensive and warms up the room too much. I really underestimated how hot it would make my room.
I do regret buying it. Since now I’m short on cash.
A video game that I'll get around to playing in like a decade after I get through the other games in my back log but hey it was on sale lmao
I just bought a cordless stick vacuum, which can also mop. It was on a good discount (450€ -> 150€) and I've been thinking of getting something like that for a while. I don't necessarily need it, but it has been a very great tool since I have people come over every week and I have a child and there are spills of food and drinks. It really cleans up well and mops the floor also. 10/10 would recommend.
Digital copies of the entire run of the Girl Genius webcomic. Very worth it.
ender3 v3 ke
Totally worth it
I went to a café and sat down with the book I'm currently reading and bought a coffee and a crêpe. It was very much worth it! I'll do that again.
Silksong and Alan Wake 2 on the same day. Loving the former even though it is kicking my arse. The latter doesn't seem to run well on my series s - only about 4 hours in and had 2 hard crashes. I think it's running out of RAM.
Chicken buillon powder at the Asian Market.
It's nice! I like it better than the store brand I normally get.
Registered for a fan run Nancy Drew -esque 3 day event in WA for 2026. Went to the one this year and it was a blast, registered right before it filled up.
My last impulse buy was chocolate cover caramel popcorn, very tasty. Food is the only thing I impulse buy.
I collect old tech. I recently bought three things all from Apple: and 7th gen iPod Nano, a 1st gen iPod Nano, and an iPhone 3GS.
These things were honestly stupid rare in my country, since I never recall seeing an iPod in the wild at all, and an iPhone before the 4, so seeing these in my thrift store immediately made me buy them.
Even though neither of the iPods work, and the 3GS turns on, but with a dead battery and boots to an iOS 4 style recovery screen, I have to say it's definitely worth it just to have these as display items.
