JAKARTA – Shopping for some people is considered a way of releasing stress. But because it is not calculated, so dark eyes and do not consider how important the goods purchased. You can say impulsive shopping activity or without thinking about the consequences.

As the balance suddenly thins and the credit card bill swells. Well, to reduce the risk of impulsive shopping here's how to control it.

Create a shopping plan list

Before pressing an order if shopping online, make a list of all the items you need most and want. Once you've listed everything, make an evaluation of each item. Consider the function, the price, the amount of money to spend, and the money to save.

By making a list in advance, you can brake impulsive shopping.

Check the stock of goods owned

Still related to the previous point, before deciding to shop for one item, for example clothes, first check your clothing collection. If it is still good and usable, just modify it more creatively.

You can also check out some special services that can modify or repair items that are still good and functioning to the fullest.

Set time and wear comfortable clothes when shopping

Shopping hastily is certainly not comfortable, both to choose the quality of goods and anticipate buying items that are not too urgent. Comfortable clothes also make you do not feel sultry especially when shopping in bazaars or crowded stores that are again discounted.

Shop with cash or...

Spending with cash minimizes the swell of bills and shopping for items that are not too needed. Remember, that not all the desired items are always needed in everyday life.

Or provide a special account for shopping with a certain amount of balance according to the budget to buy the necessary items.

Don't get easily disengaged

Shopping also needs focus, meaning it's not easy to get disengaged to buy the desired but underfunded and really needed items. Not only because the model is attractive so it is not controlled to buy.

Double-check purchased items

In addition to keeping track of your expenses, you'll need to double-check all your recently purchased items. Note the goods that have warranty and quality. Because not infrequently there are defects or stains, for example on clothes.
