Something I have been thinking about regarding this thread. Do many users who buy physical albums normally buy so many in a single day. When I used to buy so many at once it was usually from charity shops where they are really cheap. New CDs can be expensive yet vinyl even more so. Vinyl costs £29.99 on average and if you convert this into dollars the number will be higher. Do more people browse and take what gets there interest or have lists ready beforehand?

Personally, it's rare for me to buy more than 2 records in one trip, but that might just be me. I am a broke college student so that may have something to do with it

My commute used to have 3 record stores on the way home... needless to say during that period in my life I spent way to much money on records. Now 1 shop closed down, 1 moved away, and 1 just...sucks now for some reason. So I only really buy records when I make a trip out to the place which moved. And when I do make that trip, I usually buy about as many records as I can carry/fit in my bag. Though to be fair I'm not very strong and I purposefully don't bring huge bags, so that ends up being like 5-6 albums.
I think it's important to pace yourself on purchases both per visit and per week/month/year/etc. When I had the record stores on my commute, I was pacing myself per visit (1-2 records per visit), but not per week (...would visit 1-3 times per week). Now I pace myself per year (~6 visits/year) but not per visit (5-6 albums per visit). Another thing to note is that I almost exclusively buy used albums unless it's an album which just came out which I KNOW I'm gonna like. I don't tend to experiment with purchases unless they're cheap. If there's a $5 album I'll probably take a chance, but $25+, I'm gonna need to at least have listened to that artist before.
Well in any case... today I didn't splurge, just bought a couple classical albums:
