“Three out of four Americans say they have made an impulse buy and about half of those…have said they regretted doing so,” says Matt Schultz of creditcards.com.

The website’s survey shows both men and women make impulse purchases.

“However, men are three times as likely as women to have spent $1,000 or more on an impulse buy,” Schultz notes.
