what affects your decisions on buying?

If I want to buy things, I need it to be useful. If someone who recommends me things a lot, then I will buy it. Also, when I watch some videos online, I may buy it too. If something is good looking, I will buy it even if it isn’t useful for me. In other times, it depends on the desire that how I want it. For example, if I see a beautiful dress that I really like it, I will buy it immediately, no matter I need it or not, cuz sometimes I can’t control my desire.

I don’t know why I fell in love in food, I used to not like to eat too much. I’m not sure if it is because I live alone. Everyday when I finish work, I don’t know what to do when I stay at home. I just open my Ipad to watch some TV series. I built a habit that when I watch TV, I have to eat something.

Also, when I watch some videos online promoting the product, I may buy it too. If the packaging is good looking, I will buy it even if it isn’t useful to me. In other times, it depends on the desire of how much I want it.
