I have always written shopping lists. I have a well-established habit of walking around the supermarket aisles saying to myself “don’t need loo paper, don’t need tissues, don’t need… don’t need…”. So when I pick a possible impulse buy I think “don’t need… but do I really want it?” More often than not, I’ll leave it on the shelf, and my budget is intact. Also, spending on a ‘special’ that I wouldn’t normally use is not saving me money, do I don’t do it.
