"Impulse buy" does help reduce the stress from busy lives we live by giving that temporary high. Your suggestions are really interesting - I should try them ;) PS: I am getting better coz of Sac (he is lazy to go to the mall or maybe it's his 'technique') Good stuff! keep writing. Krishna,

Someone asked him why he always looked so happy loking at the wares in the shops, yet never bought anything. He replied that he was so happy admiring and appreciating all the things he didn't need! PS This story might have been about Socrates - easy to get your Rumi and Socrates mixed up :-) I just remembred an anecdotal story about Rumi who used to wonder through the shopping alleys with a big broad grin on his face.

I agree with all you say - especially the bit about how all this excess buying is good for the economy. You should submit this article to all those online shopping websites! I thought I had conquered impulse buying but I visited IKEA last week and bought all a crockery set I didn't really need! The new plates and bowls look great but they are far too big for my kitchen cupboards. So I might go back to the original ones. Anyone out there looking for a new crockery set?! They can have it as a gift:-) An excellent first ever post, Krishna!

I don't impulse by and I use a lot of these that you mention here. Especially the procrastination - I say to myself that I will buy that later and I never end up doing it. Krishna,

Great techniques… I don't impulse by and I use a lot of these that you mention here. Especially the procrastination – I say to myself that I will buy that later and I never end up doing it.
