Me too! I don't succeed, I always cave..... then ask my husband to give it to me for Christmas... He does,but insists on something to surprise me as well...
Is there something you really need? My kids both needed replacement sneakers. I was able to get them at 20% off and free shipping. Also, I am buying a duplicate pair of replacement flats. Last year I needed new PJ's and got them on a good sale. I would say unless there is something you NEED, Turn Off Promo Emails.
And hey, sometimes serendipity strikes in those sales! I went looking for new innerwear (I seem to be outgrowing them every other month!) and found the perfect tunic at half price instead---which suddenly makes perfect sense of my *summer* impulse purchase of fleece-lined red tights! I didn't *think* I needed a tunic, was planning to wear those tights with skirts, but hey, this is easier and comfier still
I got on the wrong side of a cyber Monday sale by not waiting it out and buying last week. Those darned Dansko Veda's went down more, but hey, what is $10 in the grand scheme of things?!
The sales on pretties sure can be tempting . . . but it is wise to keep to what you already had on your list and not get swayed into new things just because. Shut down your browser!! lol
Another vote for turning off the promo emails. It has helped me so much!
I can be an emotional and impulsive online shopper. Taking a moment to deliberate and consider "why" I want to make a purchase has been helpful. I don't set any rules-- I'm just trying to be more aware of my behavior.
Last year I spent a *lot* during the holiday shopping season. This year, I'm doing a balancing act with my budget. So many beautiful things but I'm almost to the end of my yearly allotment. Eek!
Yup, guilty. Broke down and bought some crazzeeee shoes during the Solestruck sale. I think overshopping is more of a problem than overeating for me this time of year!
