OP again.  Yes, yes, yes about the slowing down of the buying. Something new is always coming to the house.  I buy for my dc a year ahead of time, and she grows so fast that some of the stuff never gets worn......all in the name of a sale. I would probably be cheaper to pay full price when the item is actually needed.  Went through DC's fall/winter clothing and there is too much......4 winter coats; lots of sweaters.....etc.   I can take 2 of the coats back, but some places have return deadlines. I buy and then don't know what I have tucked away in a tub in the attic.  That would be a fine goal.....not to buy........boy!  Easier said than done.[/quote]

This is REALLY important - if you want to shop the sales, you must have a list of what you've already bought that you carry in your wallet.  Don't let yourself shop again until you do this.

An easy way to do this is to keep a folder on your phone and photograph new purchases and the receipt (so you have a record of prices and return policies).  Make this record - on paper or via photograph - [b]before you leave the store.[/b]  You know you won't once you get in the house and dump the bag somewhere.  That way, when you find a good deal, you set it aside and check your records to see if you've already got that covered at a good price, and - if you like the new thing better - whether you can still return the previously purchased item.
