Create a plan for where your money goes. When you know where it must go, you will be less likely to spend it on items that are not priorities.
Do you actually have the funds to be able to spend on items? Take a look at your overall non-negotiable expenses such as your rent, utilities and any bills and see what is left over and work within those boundaries.
Have you done your research? Comparing prices allows you to slow down and give your mind a chance to identify if you really need (or want) the item in question.
Supporting a local business in your neighborhood is one way to become a mindful shopper. You work hard for your money so why not support someone who truly appreciates it.
