By: Erica A (View Profile)

10) Before even putting your items on the conveyor belt at the checkout stand, take a look at what you picked up and calculate how much it will all cost. Is it within your budget without having to use a credit card? Is this how much you were expecting to spend when you walked into the store? Do you REALLY need that dollar item or anything else you picked up that wasn’t on your list? Will your life cease productivity if you don’t buy it? If you answered no to any of these questions, put it back.

There you go ... my ten pieces of advice for the frivolous spender. If you read this and you just think it is utterly ridiculous ... “I have never experienced a Target visit like THAT,” than you are one of the lucky ones. You are not a shopoholic.
