2 ways to curb impulse buying

.
You can stay on budget by avoiding impulse buying. Studies have shown that impulse buys make up 27 to 62 percent of all purchases made in department stores.

Save money by making a list and only buying what’s on the list. If you see something else you like, wait until you get home and add it to the list for next time so you’ll have time to think before you buy the item.

If you don’t have a list but do have a spending limit, bring only the amount of money you’re willing to spend in cash and leave your checkbook and credit cards at home. That way, you can’t go over budget.



All the best,
