Impulse Purchases

There's a little in all of us. Probably more in me than others.

Supermarkets have learnt to place interesting things along the checkout counter. They are items available within the supermarket, but people might not think to buy them from their aisle.

Then there are the big items. Sometimes an impulse purchase might just be the right item to buy. I've been long complaining about how I hate ironing. I guess if I'm living in a cold country, I wouldn't mind. But it's humid over here, coupled with the steam from the iron, it's like standing in a sauna. Sometimes it gets so hot that I have three fans blowing at me, or I'll be dripping sweat all over the clean clothes.

I wasn't even thinking of upgrading or changing. The previous washer is only 3 years old, but after the first wash... I didn't have to iron any of the shirts that came out of it! Talk about miraculous. Now I just have to look out for easy-care cotton clothes and I might never have to iron ever again.
