Tips to Prevent Shopping Binges

Some tips to prevent shopping binges

Pay with cash, check or debit card.

Keep only one credit card to use for emergencies only.

Take time to make a list before heading out and stick to it

Avoid “Bargain Stores” where you tend to purchase items on impulse that you do not need

Stay away from catalogues, internet offers and shopping channels

Consider shopping with a friend who does not overspend

If you do go on a shopping binge take responsibility

Find something else you enjoy doing that is inexpensive such as exercising, visiting with a friend or reading a book

Depending on how “out of control” your compulsive shopping feels, please consider getting professional help as you would for any other type of addiction. This behavior can have many serious financial and personal consequences.
