An impulse purchase is a purchase that happens all of a sudden without much thought. It is generally not a rational purchase.

The third choice is an example of an impulse purchase. In this scenario, Jesse bought a pair of shoes because his friend had them. He also spent all the cash he had because he had to have them.
