6 Ways to Stop Impulse Buying
4. Avoid shopping with spoiled friends
Some people are spoiled, while others are just filthy rich. Avoid shopping with these kinds of people. They will spend money in the most wasted manner, and you will feel like doing the same. If you don’t, you may end up in their back-biting list.
5. Do not be fooled by sales
Sales with huge markdowns can really be tempting to anyone. Before making such a purchase, ask yourself, “Do I really need it? Right now?” Then remind yourself that this isn’t the last sale before the end of the world. Sales will keep coming and going. You won’t lose anything by not making use of one such sale.
6. Follow the time rule
If you see something that you really want to buy, make yourself wait for a week or maybe even a month. If you still want it after that period, buy it. Or else, you know you never really needed it.
