shopper's amnesia 

A condition relating to being in such a shopped-out state that one forgets her purchases.
1. Person 1: "I got a phone call to pick up a purchase from a store and I honestly don't remember ever putting the layby on!"
Person 2: "Wow, sounds like you've got a case of Shopper's Amnesia."

2. Lisa went to the store and found the hit Drew Barrymore film Ever After in the bargain bin for only $9.89. Lisa loves Drew Barrymore. Upon arriving home she attempted to put the new DVD into her alphabetically categorised collection, only to discover that she already owned a special edition copy of said film. Lisa blamed this unnecessary purchase on momentary Shopper's Amnesia.

Shopper's monologue

The conversation one holds with oneself upon finally finding an item they like after hours of shopping, but then realizing that they are not sure if they really like the item. Most of the time, they realize they don't really need the item and end up not buying it. Very frequent in women, although occasionally affects men, too.
Leah and Jenae were shopping at PacSun. After many hours, Jenae finally found a shirt she liked. While waiting in the long, long line, Jenae began pondering whether she really needed that shirt. She held a shopper's monologue with herself and came to realize that five other people she knew had that shirt and that she did not want to be a poseur.
