I deleted my Instagram account as I felt that every time I’d scroll on there an add would come up and I would go to the online store. I wouldn’t necessarily purchase but I was always window shopping. Now I’ll make a list of things I would like to buy and only purchase when I have the money. I currently have only 3 “unnecessary” things I’d like to buy and for me that’s progress 😊

Wow.. for the first time in my life I read the comments on KZitem channel and I am very impressed how supportive and nice are all the messages. North America has a educated population, unfortunately in Romania and other countries from Europe, people are very rude and critisezing everything that an youtuber will say, even the ideas are really good and useful. I am so happy that I moved to Canada and enjoy polite people. That's really a great quality of a developed society and I wish to become a legal citizen. From inside I already feel true Canadian and I am really grateful for everything that North America is offering me. I support minimalism, sustainability/ zero waste, self growth, multiculturalism, diversity, food from all over the world, exposure to so many cultures... the list is long.

When I buy clothes I pick 3 stores to go to. I try on what I'm thinking of, carry the item whilst checking in the store. I have a budget and pick the number of say tops I planned to buy from what I tried on in those stores. I also write a list of what I'm intending to buy and think about it for say a month or so - avoids impulse buys.

I recently repainted some frames and put new photos in them. I already had the paint, it was therapeutic, and gave a couple of spots an updated look. Yes, boredom can be costly.

Great tips. One thing I do to help prevent me from overspending is to shop at our local stripped down grocery store. It only carries the essentials so it really limits our ability to buy the things we dont need. Bonus is that it's only 2kms away so we can bike or walk which also limits how much we drag home.

I realized that I shop online for clothes that I barely wear now because I don't find it valuable to me, so why I even bought it? The honest truth, I didn't see my body fitting in with the clothes I see, only on the model and I was thinking it will make me look like that way, but I knew that every woman has a different shape of body so it wouldn't look the same on me, which it is sad to views on clothes like that. Waste of money can also be caused by being manipulated by sellers or companies that makes us think or catches our attention to buy it.

Great tips Ashlynne! I also use a few of these strategies and questions. In addition to shopping with a list, I try to force myself to physically carry all items I'm considering purchasing around the store (whether in my arms or a tote bag). This strategy helps me to literally lighten the load as I get tired as a final criteria/question to determine if I will buy it. I have to follow this strategy in particular at secondhand shops & thrift stores but also use it when shopping for necessities or a couple grocery items at retail stores.

I have been making wishlists and trying to keep to that most of the time marking which items I need or really want most, then delete the other items that no longer interest me. I was about to make a sephora order as they have a sale on + I have a £5 voucher but that doesn't expire until December. My mum passed away on Xmas Eve last year. I sometimes comfort eat and I like buying perfumes

My weaknesses are sales (when I see that I can get something much much cheaper than it originally was) and different Facebook kids' second hand clothing groups.. My daughter has so many clothes, but still when I see something nice that someone sells for a good price, I just buy it. Im now considering leaving from those groups for a while.. But this whole year I have been writing down all the things I buy. That gives me a good overview of my spending habits every month. I also have a wishlist and "things I need to buy" list. A lot of times when I want something, instead of going out and buying it, I just, wrote it to my wishlist.. And after a while I realize I don't want it to bad anymore.. And I have been able to delete quite many things from my wishlist over time 😊😉

I'm a softie for thrifting. In my head, I justify purchasing things I dont need just because it is cheaper than full price. What has helped is to set a larger, aspirational goal. Trying to pay off our house is a much better decision than a excessive piece of clothing or trinket.

I like the idea of doing a no spend month! I’ve done it a few times successfully, and avoided many impulse purchases or even suspended regular household purchases for a month, but then the next month I treat myself to a few things and/or need to restock household items. Then it just feels like I’m back where I started! I guess the more times I do a no spend month I’ll see the benefits.

I needed that. It’s a topic that people don’t talk about often. My problem is not the impulse buying of unnecessary things, but that it’s chaotic. I want to save money and plan expenses. And a no-buy-week or month might help to restart. And often there are deeper issues behind impulse buying. So ask yourself: why do I want to buy all this? How do I hope it will make me feel? And how do I feel before I do impulse shopping? What feelings are there?

I really think that groceries are a trouble spot for me. As a toddler mom it seems most of the time I am eating 1 or 2 meals a day. Therefore when I do our bi-monthly grocery haul I am usually running on fumes or between the 2nd and 4th store, bc I am price shopping in these crazy inflation times. So even if I start off well, I may be starving by the end... or at the walmart or target superstores when you get distracted when you go from the foods toward checkout. Not the like magazines gum or candy, but the sections on the way out of the stores.

In my opinion, watching videos abroad, there are many stores where things are super cheap, and that's why people buy things they don't really need. In our country (Estonia), things are not cheap at all, and that's why there is no temptation to buy things just for the sake of beauty.

The tips of “avoiding stores, deleting apps” and “trying a no-spend challenge” seems a bit like the dieting mentality that can end up causing feelings of deprivation and then bingeing. I wonder if those methods have long term success? From my experience, they didn’t help me for very long until I fell back into my spending habits. I think the other advice of bringing your attention to why you’re buying it, what is your mood, and do you need it is a more effective way to impact spending habits. Ive also fallen victim to returning impulse buys but then doing “girl math” and buying other items because i feel like i got my money back from the return. 🤦♀️

One of the things I do Is factor in a category in my budget for treats. Right now I allot $25/month. I use the money any way I choose and since I've budgeted for it, I feel zero guilt about using it. I take out the $25 in cash. I can use it for a latte once a week or spend it all at once on a manicure. Knowing that I have money I can spend on little things to make me happy limits my desire to impulse buy. If I blow through the $25 in the first week of the month, I am mentally trained to know that little treats are not in the table until the next month. It's become a habit.
