Great story... I can assure you that it won't be the last impulse buy at the LFS. This is a great hobby and I'm guessing that you'll be upgrading to that larger tank sooner rather than later!!
Impulse purchase - what should I do with it?

Beware of this symptom. This is how you end up with the lame container of PH buffer you don't need. Most of the time I use salt as an excuse. My LFS will quite frequently put a different brand of salt 50% off. So of course I have to stop in a couple times a week to see if I can get my bargain. I usually order my salt online, so it is just a form of rationalization. If it is not salt generally it is frozen food...gotta keep the varied diet rotation going...

Ohhhhhhhhhh..... good one! Fresh food! OF COURSE I have to go to the LFS often - since I'm still just learning I will be reading daily and learning new things I can try to feed my "pets" and will only buy in small amounts. That excuse is good for at least twice a week! It may be months before I have to buy pH buffer - there are so many things I still need that I don't have. And since it's such an expensive hobby of COURSE it only makes sense that I should go check for sales and bargains every chance I get. I will hate doing it but hey, if it saves me and hubby money, then no sacrifice is too great. (It may cost us a fortune trying to save money! LOL)
My bluefoot crab is walking around the tank WITHOUT a shell. Why?
(is he dreaming he's on a ---- beach?)
Guess that word isn't allowed.... I was trying to type "n*de"

Great story Sue, but who needs an excuse or a rationalization to go the LFS
? I just go to hang out with the other salt "geeks"
. Sometimes leaving after having a good "discussion" is as good as walking out with purchase in hand.
