Tip # 1: Shopping without CB

To stop spending money we did not have in clothes that we do not need, nothing better than go out shopping ... no money. Far from us the desire to encourage shoplifting, quite the contrary. The idea is to simply bring up to date a concept with the eighties tone: the window shopping. We skim shop fronts, we can even review the carriers, try the pieces that make us an eye ... and stay there. If, once back home, the image of these strapped boots or this jacket brocards continues to obsess us, that a shy but serious FOMO is felt, then we can allow this budgetary incarceration and afford this piece so desired, the desire to buy at the time of the fake shopping session is obviously not a simple transient impulse.

Tip # 2: The big post-shopping test

The harm is done: we have without consideration spent a half SMIC in a garment that you promise to make profitable. No sooner said than done: we are engaged in a fitting session to see, concretely, with what other parts of our dressing we will be able to associate. Shoes, bag, coat : everything must pass and allow to create at least a satisfactory silhouette. Conversely, if our attempts at looks remain wobbly, hypothetical and unconvincing - ("With 3kg less, it will look like a glove!) - the verdict must be final: we return to the store to be reimbursed or exchange the disputed piece. Point bar.

Tip # 3: view his account

To great ills, great remedies. What's more disincentive in full shopping session than a direct confrontation to reality, aka your bank balance? Admittedly, it is an unnatural reflex with consequences a bit frustrating or downright guilt, but oh so effective. In case of a compulsive shopping crisis, we do not hesitate to draw his smartphone and consult our personal finances. Or how to direct us in the decision to draw, yes or no, our CB for this piece that we will never put.
