Recommended shopping list : Don't buy anything yet!!
7 Reasons We Buy Things We Don’t Need :
1) It’s such a good deal ! Sounds familiar? ( But you don't need any! )
2) I can always return it.( But you don't always)!
3) It looks so good/cute/funny. I have to have it! ( But you already have plenty of these!)
4) This will/might help me with... I could make... ( But this will be just another project that gets on the very long list of things we could do but never really have time to do :-( )
5) I DESERVE this, and it will make me feel better. The retail therapy concept that makes us think we can feel better via consumption. ( Hint: It does not work!!)
