I used to be really bad about making impulse purchases and buying stuff I didn't need. But for the last year I have lived right in the middle of a trendy hip area of Seattle with tons of little shops and boutiques, and a fifteen minute walk from downtown, and I live in a tiny apartment where I barely have room for the stuff I have and I am SO OVER IT now. I go to Value Village once a week or so to get books for my 8 yr old daughter because she reads a lot, and I can walk around and look for an hour or two and walk out with just 3 or 4 books that I came for. Other than that I don't even go shopping unless I need something specific, and I only buy what I went for and try to find the best deal possible on it. I can wander around Pike market for hours and buy nothing even though I have plenty of cash on me. The shopping bug is so dead.
