impulse buyer

Unplanned purchase person

An impulse buyer is someone who makes unplanned purchases on a whim, typically triggered by seeing something appealing rather than by prior intent: I'm such an impulse buyer—I went in for milk and came out with a blender.

Retailers design displays and checkout areas specifically to attract impulse buyers.
