I love to shop especially when I have enough money to buy.However, my weakness lies in my impulsivity to buy things not in the priority list which only later I found out that they are not really needed. At first, it was really a struggle on my part cutting down the not so valuable things to be bought.Now, I have to see to it that whenever I will go the city either for pleasure or business, i must not bring any credit card and that I have a few loaded wallet in my bag.

It is in general tendency of the Humans that we wish to buy what ever we see. So, It is not only your problem dude.
It is every Human's problem, So, don't get worse.
I liked your idea of bringing enough money in your wallet for shopping, But sometimes this idea fails because you might use that money for not important things.
So, I will suggest you to write down a list of items which have more priority and go there first to buy them first priority.
I think this will work for you. Because, Me too do the same thing.

You are right prudhvimech.Out of that experience, i have learned to do some listing of my priorities when going to the mall, except when i need to take a snack or a meal.

my credit cards are only for emergency purposes and if i do some shopping with a credit card, i have to see to it that i have to pay my purchases right away before its statement date.

Sometimes I am also an impulsive buyer, and I have bought things that I later regretted. My husband and I are trying to save up money for travelling and to pay off our debt, so I want to change that habit and become less impulsive, because we don't have a lot of extra money to spend on impulsive things. Some months ago I made a plan for our savings and I decided how much money I am going to spend every week. That way I won't be able to spend a lot of money on impulsive things. I know that I only have a certain amount of money and I know that the money has to last all week.
