When making my splurchase I didn't really have the full shopping experience. My item, a University of Minnesota "M" shaped cookie cutter was purchased at the bookstore along with another item I actually needed (staples) during my work time. My shift was from 1-6 and I had been working all afternoon when I finally remembered to make my purchases at about 5:20 pm. I didn't enter the store with the main intention to purchase anything, I was mainly going there to go to work. I was in the work mindset and quickly made my purchases before returning to work. No other looking around. The weather today was a perfect fall day, the atmosphere in the store is the same as on every other day so far this year - super busy and the floor is a mess and we all have so much to do, hence my rush to get back to work. The splurchase was supposed to be impulse and it was to an extent because of the lack of deliberation made once the thought to purchase a cookie cutter entered my mind. I had made the decision of intending to purchase a cookie cutter earlier in the day, but didn't act on it until 5:20. I decided to buy this cookie cutter because I really like making sugar cookies and decorating them! My family has one of these at their house and when I lived there it was a frequently used shape. Now that I live in the cities I'd like to have one of my own to use the next time I make cookies. Making these cookies can often be an all day affair and the decorating can get very involved with sprinkles sometimes going on one by one to create elaborate designs. Now I am even more so looking forward to making cookies! The cookie cutter was a bit more than $2, but it was something I intended to purchase anyways. The packaging wasn't particularly influential in the purchase, I don't really think it is that great. It is just a product I know I will use and am looking forward to using!
