I just went out to buy a pair of jeans, but then spent a very long time looking at everything that was on sale. Here was my thought process for lots of items over the course of 1.5 hours:

1. This would be fun to have, we'd use it.
2. This is a really good deal.
3. I'd better inspect it to see if I really like it.
4. Yup, I like it. I'll get this instead.
5. But... I don't need it. Moving on...

I left with just the pair of jeans I went out for. I'm a lousy shopper.

   no -- you're a good shopper! Just go for the thing you went for and go home. That's the best way to shop, and saves tons of money on impulse shopping.

   But that's the problem... I don't just go for what I went for and go home. I impulsively window shop, waste a lot of time, but then only leave with what I went in for.
