Are you an impulsive shopper?

It really depends. I'm usually pretty good with holding off on purchases that I really don't need, but sometimes, that item just gets the better of me and I have to go and buy it. It's hard, but being able to step above whatever is tempting you is a pretty good feeling, especially when you know you can't afford it.

I am a bit of a shopaholic but I am not one for buying expensive things , I buy a lot of cheaper but nice clothes so I get more for less , I still think I am a good shopper as I bye from designer factory outlets and people always admire my clothes , they have no idea I got them at well reduced prices xx

At the Church Rummage Sales when it is a bag sale, I will shop as I please. When in a store it is for particular items. Even at Christmas. Of course I normally have most of it done by then. I do both, when the situation calls for one that is what I do and then again when the situation is different then I act accordningly. My money ends up wisely spent. That is my focus and so control is needed.

i am guilty of this thing sometimes. what i do in order to overcome the impulse will be to think as to whether the thing will be of any use to me, or to any member of the family or maybe, it can serve any purpose in the house at all. it is difficult to be ending with having bought htings which are of no use at all.

I used to be an impulsive shopper, but I think I have it pretty much under control-- partly because I am more organized in my life than I used to be. I have also learned to pause for a while and ask myself the question of whether I really NEED something, just because it is a heck of a deal. And just because I LIKE something doesn't automatically mean that I must OWN it... which is the "sickness" I was part of, for many years. Of course, I also don't make as much money as I used to... so that limits my spending, as well. Yes, I believe an excessive shopping habit can be controlled, and I think it starts with simple "awareness" of your habits.

I have to admit, I'm also one of those impulsive shopper. When I spotted a good bargain/ sale....it's hard for me to resist. I do buy all things I need that's on my list but my list always stretch...hmpf... What are my favorite things that I like to buy often....hum, I guess most of the things that has sale tags/ stickers on it...hehehe. Terrible isn't...

Before I stepped out of the house I made some listings on what should I buy on the mall or the grocery store. But It never keep me from getting some stuff that is not listed in my lists lol!!! I am not a mall fanatic but whenever I passed by a display window and I really like the clothes that was displayed, expect me to be on that very shop the very moment and will really buy the one I really liked and I hate myself for doing that but really have a happy smile the moment I wear the dress. Silly me lol!!!!

I have the same problem, im terrible at impulse buying! only yesterday i was watching a shopping channel and ended up buying loads of skin care and makeup even though ive got loads. I always tell my self i dont need thigns but end up persuading my self! Might try leaving my card at home in future! if you get any better tips let me know!
