ooby_dooby: 6. Not planning ahead
I have my own little mental trick I do whenever I get the urge to buy something frivolous, I try to picture the item on a table at a flea market or yard sale with a 25 cent price tag on it and, poof the urge to spend 10 or 20 bucks on the item disappears.
I told an ex gf of mine this trick (she was a shopaholic) and after a while she said "Damn you, you took all the fun out of shopping." She was 40 something had a great high paying career type job as an executive secretary to a VP of a fortune 100 company. She didn't have a dime in savings or retirement money put aside and she had loads of credit card debt. This woman used to sit in front of the TV watching QVC with a phone in her lap.

Dude, I buy almost everything at Wal Mart or thrift stores and donate it back when I'm done. That leaves more money to go chase man-tang!
And I'm still telling you know who you know what. That was a secret message for someone losery who is about to get his come-uppance.

I remember my daughter when she was young, thinking that it just seemed to magically appear from my purse. Open it up and there it is! ------ This thread is Archived ------
That is what shopping is for. To get away fom your problems and finding a great sale, helps to bring you to a good mood.
Watch out for impulse items dipayed on the counter as you are surely to buy something there that you do not need. That is an old trick of the trade.
My sister is wealthy. Shopping is a habit for her. If she finds something at a great price she will buy it. Then goes home and tells her husband ,Look what I saved on this? He just says where is the money you saved? I want it.

1. Window shopping
2. Carrying lots of cash
3. Saving your info with vendors
Those online shopping sites are so considerate to save your address and credit card information -- some even have one-click ordering buttons, so you can buy something in just a second. It's very easy and very dangerous. Not only does this easy shopping make you broke if you're prone to impulse shopping, it also eliminates the feeling of spending money, because all you do is click.
4. Clipping coupons you don't need
5. Shopping with your emotions
It was a rough week, or a good one, or you want to reward yourself for losing a few pounds, so you go shopping. You earned that new dress, that new gadget, that big pie -- it was on sale, too. Letting your mood dictate your buying decisions is the quickest way to go broke.
Sober up before shopping. Do you need these items, and can you afford them? Be honest with yourself. Reward yourself by doing something that doesn't cost, like taking a nice bath, or spending time with loved ones.
