Can you stop yourself from shopping and shopping?

You need to be like me and have no money to shop at all. My sister goes shopping but basically I have to wait and struggle to buy what I actually need. I guess there's a lot of fun in wild shopping but ask yourself how mush use do you put into all the things you buy ? You might then discover how little of those things you really need. Luv you anyway !

I love shopping and I do get moments when I feel like swapping my credit card to no end. One can easily get carried away sometimes. Before I was married I was like this, however, these days, I try to control myself by imagining the credit card billing statement. This usually is enough to stop me. I found it easier to not spend so much money when I did not have a credit card because I can really see how much money I am spending. With a card, everything is abstracted. You just see your bill and you realize you have spent too much but too late. :) This is why I can soh relate to Becky Bloomwood in the Shopaholic series!

I love shopping... but because money is tight right now... i can only buy things that my daugter and i really need... so when i go to the mall... i try not to look at stuff that would tempt me to buy... or i do not bring extra money with me... that way i don't have anything to pay with... so i won't be tempted to buy stuff that i like but do not really need...

I normaly only go shopping when there is a good sale going on. I will either make a list of what I plan to get or set a dollar amount that I am alloud to spend and I discipline myself to stay within those limits.

i dont shop and waste my money if it is not needed. there are many things to prepare than shopping, if we have a family we prefer to buy the important needs of our kids.

my gosh..that is also one of my weaknesses i tend to be an impulsive buyer...:D well i also bring less money when i go to the mall so that i wont buy whwat i do not need!
