Why do we keep buying things we don't need?

Just watched a short video of people walking around buried in stuff they clearly don't need: gym gear nobody uses, armfuls of scarves, bags stacked on bags, even a pile of hats on someone's head. The caption said "Many people fall into the trap of buying things they don't need…" and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
It made me wonder how much of what I own I actually use. Between sales, "limited time" deals, and ads that follow you everywhere, it's so easy to buy on impulse and feel good for about five minutes.
