This is why you need a clear objective whenever you go shopping.

Every time I enter a store, I am looking for something specific. Then I leave with whatever it was. I do not meander, I do not wander. I'm there for a reason. You would be surprised at how much money you save just by having a clearly defined goal.

Impulse buying? Not really a thing for me.

It's also one of the reasons I much prefer online over physical shopping. Usually I can just search the exact thing I'm looking for and then I'm done. But if I do end up having to go to a physical store, I put the blinders on and get out as fast as possible.

Same here. No amount of trickery will make me impulse buy. That shit just doesn't work on me.

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever gone to the mall because I want something specific.

I'll go because I'm Christmas shopping and want to see what they have, but if I know what I want I just buy it online.

Right? No one goes to the mall with something super specific in mind. That's what the grocery store is for.
