Don’t Go Shopping Out of Impulsiveness

Finally, Christmas is over and just when I thought that it’s time to sit back and take a break from the malls, the post Christmas sale had begun! I was asked to go shopping with some girl friends this morning but I told myself I had better not to!

It’s so tempting to keep buying when you are in that shopping mood, especially if you are visiting a new place during a vacation. When I was having my holidays, I was tempted to buy things I didn’t even need. But I had reminded myself not to get into this impulsive buying or I would be sucked into the realm of consumerism.

We walked so much during our vacation and DH had to get some knee pain treatment to ease his bad knee. I was glad to buy a pair of Birkenstocks during my trip to Taiwan. It was at least 30% than what I would pay in Malaysia. My birthday surprise came a little late when DH gave a nod to a new 3 Gs iPhone.

The next few days will be some personal reflection on my goals for this year and next. I would definitely be taking a break from shopping at the moment unless the bargains are overly attractive. Do remember not to buy out of impulsiveness when you go shopping. Perhaps, it’s time to warn yourself against consumerism!
