We live two hours one way, from the closest mall. It use to be something to do on your day off. You almost felt like you needed to buy something to justify 4 hours in the car that day. Of course, you had to buy an expensive lunch and dinner before you came home.
So, we would go and buy things that we really did not need and spend money we did not need to spend.
Finally, about 8 years ago, I said no more!! I just don't need to buy more stuff!! I can order what few clothes (jeans and shorts) I need from QVC or Penny's catalog.
I carry a list of what I need to buy with me and occasionally (3 times a year or so) I stop at Wal mart.
I haven't missed going to a mall at all!!(or that 4 hours in the car in heavy traffic)
