Is it real?! Shopping addiction?! (1 Viewer)

[dangerouss]

This might sound stupid but I think I have a problem... I shop a little too much and find myself impulse-buying when there is a good sale. Any tips or advice? Also, does anyone have the same issue?

Talk to Carrotsticks.

Literally me

You'll get to a point where you get so sick of shopping you hate it so you don't do it for 6 months before the cravings come back. Just make sure you remain relatively broke having all your cash out of your reach and you should be good

I have this too... basically you deal with it as you start to run out of money

Create a list of things you need
Cut that list down, because you've probably listed too much
Only buy things that are on the list

It's hard to resist when you see a good deal/sale right? Been spending heaps on the Myer sale online... free shipping on everything! Hard to pass up...

I used to shop on UO all the time... I stopped after they made me buy 3 lots of the one order I placed, they charged me 3 times! Never went back .

It can be real. You can also make it unreal - stop buying stuff.

Same problem.
Having a part-time helps a lot

Yeah it's like a psychological issue D:

i have an online shopping addiction! But as you get low on cash, you start to be more thoughtful with what you buy.
The best thing to do... move in with your partner or move house or clean out your closet.. cause once you do, you will go OH MY GOSH I HAVE SO MANY CLOTHES! I used to buy, buy, buy thinking i had nothing to wear but after moving in with a partner i realised the amount of garbage bags i was transferring my clothes over in was ridiculous! So i've actually stopped spending for the last few months... besides one dress on trendylulu.. but when there are sales i kind of struggle with stopping myself!
