Drunk shopping (light hearted)

Had a load of cocktails and came home and bought concert tickets last night I previously decided were too expensive 🤣

What drunk shopping you done??

lime green sequin-covered sparkly shoes after a boozy lunch years ago. They were garish and a bit tacky and they made me happy every time I looked at them.

Me and my DH who was my bf at the time were out day drinking on a Friday afternoon laughing about some girl who was in the paper who got drunk and caught a flight to Paris and was now stranded. Next thing we know we were in a flight to Paris. Stayed for three days went to Disneyland and had to fake call in sick on Monday because we hadn't got back yet.

Cocktails and concert both sound like wise investments.

A friend bought Ann Summers shit at what she thought was a house party but was a sneaky Ann Summers event and she had drunk A LOT. Her bounty was delivered to the shared house of bookish strangers she'd just moved into (she'd just started a Masters) and as she couldn't remember ordering anything she was excited about her unexpected present and merrily opened it in front of them all. It was just pants but in Ann Summers packaging and back in 2002 when, I feel, people were more prudish and certainly we were younger and much more easily embarrassed.

This is fabulous!

I bought a £950 painting under the influence of a few glasses of wine!

My friend came round once and we had too much to drink. A week later two Race for Life T-shirts arrived in the post. Apparently I'd signed us both up.

Ha ha ha that remind me I signed up for the great south run while drunk!

CissOff · 02/06/2024 16:31

So many concert tickets during the life.

But my recent purchase (last night!)was a potato ricer. Not sure why I decided I needed mash on a sunny day 🙈

FlauntsHerAmpleAssets · 02/06/2024 16:39

A wheelbarrow.

Lived in a third floor flat at the time... 🤔

10kg of chicken breasts. Which is a lot of chicken breasts (38 to be precise).

That is actually legendary 😂

GrinAndBeerIt · 02/06/2024 17:23

Four sofas.
I meant to order two, a three and a two seater but somehow tapped the amount button twice on each one.
Fortunately I managed to cancel the entire order the following day when I realised.
I didn't even need a new sofa!

jackstini · 02/06/2024 18:55

4 paintings - at a wine tasting in gallery

A holiday to Gran Canaria

A holiday to Ayia Napa

That's the big stuff.

Also quite a few Amazon prime parcels where DH and I play 'what have we ordered?' when they arrive

Strokethefurrywall · 02/06/2024 19:01

I've told this story on here before but the best drunk shopping DH and I did was the night we got drunk on the couch and each ordered vacuums from Amazon. I ordered a roomba, he ordered a Dyson.

Even better we forgot we'd done it until I checked emails the next day and Amazon said "thanks for your order". Were twats.

Birdseyetrifle · 02/06/2024 19:22

Inflatable kayak that I forgot about until it turned up.

2 paddle boards that we rarely use.

positivewings · 02/06/2024 19:34

A blue jump suit and a huge black belt and a red hair dye.
I dont know what i was thinking i wasn`t even drunk i was upset and wanted to change my whole look to feel better.
Order got cancelled the next morning when i came back to my senses.

Nutsabouttopic · 02/06/2024 19:48

Not me but my 20 year old nephew. A courier arrived with three large boxes addressed to my nephew. He doesn't live here and never has. He's in college about a hundred miles away. I rang him and asked what was going on. He had no clue. I asked him to check his bank account and low and behold there was an Amazon payment. He then vaguely remembered ordering something for his mum for mother's day, didn't want her to see them so sent them to my house. We were both suitably impressed that he knew my address because I don't think that sober nephew would know it. The present he decided was most apt for his mother was ........a set of leopard print covered bongos.....

Friend and I drunk-booked flights to Milan (and hotel) and immediately forgot until we got the "time to check in for your flight" email months later. Neither of us could go due to work commitments 🤣🤦‍♀️

Was talking to 2 blokes at the airport who whilst drinking, booked flights to Poland

A friend whilst drunk, entered an ultra marathon

LadySlipper · 02/06/2024 19:54

A kayak.

MaltipooMama · 02/06/2024 20:04

My worst one was a 55inch Samsung tv 🙈 was mortified at the time but so glad I've got it now!

NaughtyBoyGeorgeMichaelJacksonBrown · 02/06/2024 20:17

Some big things like holidays, furniture, competition entries etc. but they've always been things I was deliberating sober and drunk me gave permission for.

Tho only one I've really regretted was an expensive set of lamps that I accidentally sent to my ex's house after I'd left him. I forgot I'd made an order (and had been too pissed to update the address) until i checked my account. It was an acrimonious split so the bastard kept them and I couldn't make any sort of claim because they had delivered as requested.

I've seen them in the background of social media posts from his last 4 (at least!!) girlfriends 😡😂

Bought a £££ Max Mara coat in a depatment store after a liquid lunch.
Had to have the sleeves let down as in my state didn't realise they were too short.

tillytoodles1 · 02/06/2024 20:19

Not me, but a friend. They won over £1000 on the Irish lottery and while drunk, decided to book a last minute holiday online. They threw their clothes into a suitcase and were sobering up when they reached the airport, but went anyway.

onlyhereforthefood · 02/06/2024 20:22

A golden plastic poop that I named Colin.

Many years ago after a drunken night I apparently decided to buy every single movie starring Johnny Depp on DVD or BluRay. It was a good couple of weeks before the deliveries stopped arriving.
