Several years ago a middle-aged woman at my Church bragged her and her husband never budgeted his income. Within a few weeks she stood up in Church to give a 'testimony' that they couldn't make their house payments. A neighbor lady paid off their house mortgage. All I could think was shame shame.

If you struggle with impulse buys or suspect you're buying something you don't really need, I recommend putting it in the cart, walking the entire store and doing an internal debate of how much use you will actually get out of it and contemplating what else you would be able to buy for roughly the same amount if you didn't buy the impulse purchase. I find that helps to put things in perspective. I have put a LOT of things back on the shelf once I started doing this.

1. Iāve never done an impulse buy. I buy what I need or want. I research anything over $50.
2. I donāt waste food, except maybe salad stuff once every 2 months. I eat out once every 2 months.
If you buy online & go pick it up, you buy much less junk. I also make food to give me about 5 meals and freeze half.
3. I use credit every day to get the points, but always pay it off monthly. Those points ends up being over $1000./ yr.
4. I may buy a name brand ketchup, but thatās about it. Oh, and I like my Charmin ultra strong!
5. I donāt budget, I just spend what I need and if I buy things I donāt use, I return them.
6. I buy my Volvo used, but my furniture either new or antique. Iāve had things 40 years.
7. My bedroom & upstairs thermostat is set to 60. Downstairs is 67 in day, 62 at night.
8. I do DIY. Built a concrete staircase w 7 steps myself, and Iām 67. Came out perfect!
9. I share subscriptions for tv, Netflix and phone bill w my kids & split it.
10. Entertainment? Iād rather own gold coins.
11. I only head to cheapness if itās a temporary item. My couch is nice leather sleep sofa.
12. Who cares about trendy items. They are usually stupid.

I just paid off my car loan last week and received my title in the mail and I feel so ecstatic because it created more margin in my budget to work on my last debt and save. I freed up $200+ a month now! Thank god. I love meal planning and sticking to inexpensive meals that are quick to make and filling.

Years ago I had a trick that let me shop without spending money. This was back when clothing catalogues inundated all our mailboxes. I would excitedly go through each catalogue, marking the pages of all of the items I wanted to buy. Then I would put aside the catalogue for a few days. When I looked the items over again later on, I had lost the need/desire for almost all of them. I had the thrill of shopping without any negative consequences. I do this on Amazon, as well. Whenever I see something I like, I put it in my Cart as if I were buying it. Then I just let it sit there. I go through my Cart every few weeks and say, "Oh, yeah, I really wanted that last month, but obviously I can live without it." This way I don't deny myself, but I don't make impulse purchases that I'll regret later.
