A situation in which someone who has recently come into a very large sum of money goes and buys weird, unusual, or taboo things, simply because they can. The phrase itself is derived from Michael Jackson, who bought a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles in the 80's following the success of his album Thriller.
Person 1: I've just fucking won 20 million in the lottery
Person 2: Man, that's a lot of money, what are you going to buy?
Person 1: I'm buying a monkey.

Buying random things you may or may not ever use because you have nothing to do and think they will add value to your life but they probably wont.
When I got home from work I had nothing to do so I started boredom buying.
That guy gets an obscene amount of packages, must be a boredom buyer.

A person who you are only planning to date for some specific purpose, I.e. to make someone else jealous, then you will ditch them when you no longer have a use for them. The term comes from people who purchase big, expensive televisions from Best Buy before their Superbowl parties, then return the televisions and get their money back.
John kept wanting to meet Luanne at the restaurant where his ex worked, making her wonder if he was just Best Buy dating her.
