Tackle Purchase vs Crack Addict

[cassidyta]

My partner on Saturday caught almost all of his fish on a 4" robo orange crusher. Being that I am fishing the same lake for my next tourney I decided to pick up a couple of packs. So I spent my lunch break running out to the local shop.
Well, the "needed" 2 packs of worms morphed into 4 packs. Additionally, I decided that I "needed" to pick up some drop shot hooks and weights. While glancing through the clearance stuff, I found some 8" worms that I just had to have. Being they were on clearance, I figured that I should go ahead and get 2 of them.

Why did I compare this to a Crack Addiciton?

The original plan was to spend about $7. The final total came to $45. I ended up putting back one pack of hooks because I had $40 cash in my pocket and didn't want another fishing charge to show up on the credit card statement. Additionally, I found myself making sure that the receipt was thrown away when I got back to my office. Furthermore, I found that I could not properly distinguish between a need and a want once I was in the presence of the goods. Lastly, I will leave the stuff in the back of my car until I have an opportunity to put it in the garage undetected.
