A worthy aspiration might be to:

Return the tithe 10%.
Spend 75% of your money on NEEDS.
Spend 15% of your money on WANTS.

Understanding the difference will likely take us all a lifetime to fully grasp!

I don't know about waiting 24 hrs, I put it in my cart & think about if I can justify spending the money more likely than anything I will put the item back. Though if dh is with he'll try to convince me that I do need the item, as I don't buy myself anything.

Sounds like you need to take DH with you shopping more often. Enjoy having such a caring person around!
