Shopping Advice
Are you a "shop-aholic"? Are you addicted to shopping? Do you spend too much money when you go to the mall? Try the following advice to limit how much you spend next time you go to the mall.
Don't go to the mall. If you need to buy something at the mall, just go to the individual store that you need to visit. Don't walk around the mall where you'll see other things that you want to buy.
Make a shopping list and stick to it. Make a list of the things that you need to buy before you go shopping. Only buy those things.
If something that you know you need is on sale buy several of them. For example, if the brand of shampoo that you use is on sale, buy several of them.
Don't use your credit cards. Pay with cash or with a debit card or ATM card (Automated Teller Machine card). With debit and ATM cards the money is automatically deducted from your account. If you use the credit card, set aside the cash to pay for it before the credit card bill arrives.
