6 Ways to Stop Feeling Guilty about Shopping
Have you ever felt guilty, embarrassed and humiliated after shopping and thought about how you could not control yourself at the mall? Do you always feel like you spend more than what you earn? Take a look to find out how you can stop feeling guilty about shopping.
1. Shop online
One of the reasons that women tend to over indulge in brick and mortar stores is because there are too many distractions and lucrative displays. You may have experienced going to the supermarket to buy milk and bread, but coming out with a truckload of unnecessary times just because you browsed through all the aisles. Although online shopping also allows you to browse products, the distractions tend to be lesser than a physical store.
2. Use coupons
If you have been associating coupons with people living on welfare, you may have missed out on a lot of discounts. Cutting out coupons from newspapers and magazines may seem boring and tedious when you are not used to it, but it can yield a lot of results later on. Carefully saved coupons can help you buy many items virtually for free and you can shop without a speck of guilt.
3. Target big sales and off season discounts
Back to school, Thanksgiving, Boxing Day, Labor Day and End of Season Sales are good times to shop without feeling guilty. You may be lucky to find tons of items whose prices have been heavily discounted. You may also want to think about buying things during off season. For example, portable heaters, trench coats and blankets are much cheaper during summer than in the winter months when their demand is higher.
