If you struggle with saving money, chances are impulse buying may be impacting your ability to save and can have a major impact on your quality of life.

Here are some suggestions for limiting impulse purchases:

  • Eat a snack before you go shopping
  • Make a grocery list and stick to it
  • Leave children (aka guilt triggers) at home
  • Build a monthly budget based on planned purchases
  • Leave credit cards at home and use cash
  • Avoid shopping when you are stressed
  • Always comparison shop on major purchases
  • Avoid buying because item is “on sale”
  • Ask yourself what will you be willing to give up in order to make this purchase?
