Tuesday Tip: Avoid Impulse Buys

If you’re like me, you are a sucker for that feel-good impulse buy item when you’re out shopping.

Here is a great tip to help you avoid those impulse purchases: Keep a wish list in your purse or wallet. When you’re tempted to buy something you want but don’t need, add it to the list. Wait a few days and then go over your list. Once the “impulse” is gone, you can decide if you truly need, love, or have-to-have any of the things on your list. If so, treat yourself! If not, throw your list away and congratulate yourself! You just prevented clutter and saved money!
