although

he was planning to buy something else.

Moreover

reduces the savings for unforeseen circumstances.

For instance

expands the gross national product of the nation. In simple words, more individuals spend money on buying diverse items, higher will be profits of the corporation producing them and that ultimately will create more jobs in the society.

To conclude, I will say that buying a relevant item is not a bad thing if it is offered at the right price but one must sure that he has enough spending capacity and vital day to day expenses will not be affected by that decision.
