overshop
Buy too much
To overshop is to buy more than you need or can afford, typically driven by impulse rather than necessity: I always overshop when I'm stressed.
The word captures both excessive quantity and excessive spending—someone who overshops might return home with bags of items they didn't intend to buy.
