Online shopping: Spending without realizing it?

Yes i am exactly like you, I start adding to cart and after done and go to check out realize that i spent more then i expected.
But i also agree with you that it is way easier then carrying a lot of bag to home.
SO i guess i better do like you are doing now and start takin notes and try to keep under control.
Have a great day!

yupp..It's exactly what I'm doing.When I shop online,everything seems so attractive that I can't help wanting it.Sometimes the goods look much better on the internet.Everytime I search online it's just like I've got many things to buy and it isn't enough yet.I got confused on this situation but I can't help.It's more convenient to shop online so I'll keep on doing this,hah

yeah, that is the irony of purchasing "ON - LINE"

that is a good idea, if you keep a record of your purchase & this excercise will keep you in check, otherwise when you received the credit card bill, your eyes will be in their socket only not out of it;-) (just kidding, it happenes to lot of people who purchase things blindly),

as far as my experience goes, it happenes in the mall too, where lot & lots of things are up for sale & you tend to buy things which looks worhty when in the shop & as soon as it reaches your home.

They are just as useless as your last purchase, am i correct??

its advisable to always make a list & check list of products you want to buy apart from your usual grocery.


impossible is nothing...................................

HahaYou sound like a very good potential customer to me & my wife as we do online selling? AHhaahaIt's true that if we do not budget & discipline, it's very easy to overspend especially if it's online shopping as you're not dealing with physical money!~

haha, online shopping is what i've been doing these days, over 15 days up to now. i don't have a budget since i just learn that i can connect paypal with my credit card, which surely encourages me to step a bigger step on online shopping.

Yup I'm exactly the same!
It's so easy to just spend and spend!
It's like playing at shopping really!
Well at least until you realise you have no money in the bank lol

Hello wondericequeen,

I seldom shopping online. I only look for certain products that I don't really have to check thoroughly. I won't buy all kind of stuff online. Maybe you're right. You don't have to do anything or carry the stuff that you have the feelings that you don't really spend for anything!

same as you..i love to click and add to chart and keep spending until no money left on card..dangerous..huhu since i know the balance on my card,i kept spending until no balance left or the card do not allowed any transaction..but no regret because the item that i buy,i love it so much..
