True. It is called Impulse purchase.

an impulse purchase is made when the consumer has no need for the product or service yet he or she purchase it as a result of a quick decision, usually triggered by the marketing strategies employed by the organizations.

Impulsive purchasing behaviour can have negative impacts on the consumers, including buying things they do not need and mounting unnecessary debt.
