English Idiom: Spur of the moment
Have you ever been checking out after shopping for groceries and added something to your shopping basket because it appealed to you?
You know what I mean.
Batteries, energy bars, sunscreen, candies, gum, or other small items are usually bought on the spur of the moment.

They are purchases we make on impulse, which is what spur-of-the-moment means.
It means that we do something on impulse without any planning or preparation.
