Ring!
"Hey."
"Do you want pickles? They have pickles, a big jar for $3.00."
"No, sweetie. Just get what you came for."
"Are you sure? It's a really good deal."
"Again, no. We didn't discuss pickles."
"It's a really good deal."
"No impulse buys! Get thee to a register and be done with it!"
"(Sigh) Bye."
You know the myth about how a man can walk into a mall and exit within 10 minutes with only the purchase he came for and no pit stops (discounting Auntie Anne's)?
Busted wide open.
You should have responded, "No, dear, your pickle is all I need." That would have gotten him home faster.

OK now lets go to a new subject. Your father had the same talk with me Best Buy(you think it's dad's place It's me )I LOVE that place. John sent us over to get something for our computer and dad said the same thing. Just get what we came for and nothing else! Sounds like you come from the same family.

It is so true. My husband is the worst for impulse buys, and Costco is the most dangerous place for them.
