NEW!!!

Does anyone else find themselves constanly buying products simply because they are new and you want to try them?

I swear I can't go into a store and not spot these things no matter what it is. From shampoo to toothpaste to a new candy bar.

Have you found any awesome products this way? Any terrible products this way? Any products that you haven't seen since, but you loved?

I just found a "NEW" candy bar called Take 5, it's by Hershey it's pretzels, caramel, peanuts, peanut butter and milk chocolate! It's the best thing ever!

hey the old niobe is back talking about new things ^^
and no i never have that, i hate going out to buy stuff so generally i just race through the store, grab what i need and come back home in record time.

i really like all the toys that these kids today have and i didn't.

I too, want to try all the new stuff, and wind up so disapointed when I love something new that doesn't last long (often because I appear to be the only one who likes it)
snapple pie. It came out last holiday season, apple pie flavoured snapple drink. I loved it so much and it disappeared from stores so quickly that I saved a bottle and drank it last week (after a year. and it was just as good as I remember.) I was hoping it would return this holiday season, but no such luck.
I often think that I should get a job testing products, because if I really love it than it is the kiss of death for a new product. I have to change my favorite ice cream flavor every couple of months it seems because as soon as I decide it's my favorite, it's discontinued.

lol.I thought it was just me that happened to...

yes. I have a thousand dollars in cash burning a hole in my wallet and I plan on doing the following
1- Buy a years worth of subscription to suicide girls
2- Subscribe to 3 more years of Maxim Magazine
3- God Halves on a bastard in Best Buy on 28th street today

Somehow I am convinced that if you were granted three wishes, you would ask for the exact same things.

Those Mr. Clean things really work. I brought those to my child care center one day and I was cleaning like a mad woman. No more crayon on the walls.

Yes. I'm usually a sucker for any new shampoo or conditioner that comes out and is advertised to death. It's always a lie. I wish any new $3 crap would work the way it promises so I wouldn't have to keep going broke on $20/bottle Bumble+Bumble.

with supermarket products and stuff, i always go for the tried and tested. i get really grumpy when they discontinue a shower gel i liked or something, i think it's just because i'm picky and it takes me ages to find one i like.

but technology, now that's a different story. i must have new things. which is why i'm broke and have lots of things that require charging cradles. i nearly bought a mini dv camcorder in the january sales. i can't think what i'd need it for, but it's a new toy! i'm really trying to resist buying a nintendo ds and/or a psp on import. i bought the GBASP on launch day over here, and got about 8 games before i realised i never really played it. my brother ended up being very happy with it.

I always go for cheap stuff. I am a sucker for good marketing. If i see a sale on, i have to go and see if i can pick up a bargain.

one of my new years resolutions was to not succumb to any impulse gadget buying.. i've made it two whole days so far... the hardest part will be the 7 hour layover i have in singapore in 2 weeks time.. arrrrrrggghhhh its gonna hurt..

i love impulse buying and checking out anything new and improved. candy gets the most common nod. actually so do bikes, for some reason i have a habit of impulse buying bikes at the trift store. I also bought a new surfboard last year just because it came with a new swirly deck pattern. i have no willpower.

ya I am horrible for that...I paid $800 for a camera cell phone instead of waiting 6 months and paying only $50...I see I want and I obsesse until its mine..then I get it and go oh...big deal

I want the robot vacuum, duster, dish washer, laundry machine ....oh how I want that.






I don't care if it doesn't exist.









I want it.

I have never been the impulse buying type...I can spend some $$ quick...but it was almost always on something that I really wanted and saved the $$ for...

you are a sucker for gadgets who wants a gadget that sucks...interesting...

I used to be a bit like that about snack foods but these days I dont feel the need to buy every new thing in the shops.

I have to buy something if it's cheap. Even though I might never use it. It's just one of those things.
That's why my boyfriend won't let me go into Walmart.
