Being a responsible shopper might help you achieve your goals. Making a food list before going to the store, for example, helps reduce impulsive buying. Studies show that reducing unplanned grocery buying can save households hundreds of dollars each year.
Do not consider shopping to be a form of entertainment. Going to the mall for “shopping” frequently results in unintended spending. The ideal option is to shop when you have a pressing need for something. Take only a tiny amount of cash and leave credit cards, debit cards, and cheques at home if you can’t stop yourself from shopping for fun.
