“THE SHORT ANSWER ”

If going to the mall is difficult to avoid, try this trick: leave your purse or wallet in your car’s boot. Sometimes we buy things because, in that moment, the deal seems too good to resist. Take a moment to breathe and think, then see if that item is something you truly need. By thinking about a purchase, you create a moment of reflection that will allow you to ponder your motives and whether the item really is a bargain.
