MZR: Geez I spent a lot more money than I intended today...

...it's gonna be fun though.

Intended to just buy snowboarding boots, salapets, a set of goggles, and possibly some bindings... ended up buying all of the above plus a board and board-bag. Oops. Oh well, it'll be worth it. The board isn't the best in the world, but then I'm really not much more than a beginner anyway, and since it's a beginner/intermediate jobbie it'll be perfect.

Last time I went my feet killed me after an hour or so's boarding and I had to take the boots off to restore circulation to my toes, so this time I wanted to be comfortable... and then I just eventually thought, stuff it you might as well get the whole lot: it's not as if hire's that cheap anyway.

Anyone else ever gone into a shop and spent about twice what you intended? Feel both good and bad about it: can't really afford it but keep telling myself it'll be a saving in the long run, plus a much better experience on holiday.
