I have no idea that when women shop if they are rational .But I know about myself very well . Everytime when I go shopping once I see beautiful clothes or other goods I feel I am being hit by them . So I become absurd and impulsive at once . I usually pay much on something that I have no plan . With no reason with no preparation I spend much money at last . Of course I am very happy when shopping .And you ?

I will say that it really depends on individuals. Well, for me, I will say that I am more or less quite rational when shopping. When shopping, if I see beautiful clothes or other items, I will usually stop myself and think for a while if I really "need" the item. If this is a "want" item, I will then look at it, and see if it really suits me. I will also see if the price allows me to buy it without overstretching my budget for the month.
However, there are times I do really fall into the trap of impulse buying. When that happens, I usually "chide" myself for been irrational.

Sigh ,I am an irrational shopper . How can I avoid it ? I am so different from you when shopping . Everyweek I pay a big bill on many items that are not listed on my "need" . I am so tired of this . So I have no much money in hand for ever . Because money goes aways from my hand . It is not a good way to survive . It is not easy to live a good life especially for quality life .

I will say that you have to try and control your habit. Whenever you saw something that you like, you walk out of the shop. Then, review the items which you just saw if it's something that you will need or if it's something that you can do without with. If it something you can do without, then you just do not go back to the shop.
Just take things slowly. You will be able to change this habit after some time.
