[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think you need something or need to shop, postpone it. Often the urge passes and you realize you don't need it. Tell yourself it's too inconvenient to shop for that right now. Traffic, schedule, something else you should do instead. The more you postpone the more likely you will forego. [/quote] Piggybacking on this, one way I handle the impulse to buy clothes is to have the store hold the item until the next day. If it's a worthwhile purchase, I'll go back to get it. I rarely go back, though, and never miss whatever it was that I thought I wanted or needed so badly. This is especially effective at stores like Marshalls-- So often an item seems like a good deal even when it's not quite the right thing. When you buy stuff like that on impulse, it's never as great at home as it seemed.[/quote]
