Answer 1

It's easy to get carried away at the store, but it's time for you to take control and get away from the embarrassment and anxiety of returning items.  It's hard to change the habit, but YOU CAN DO IT, YOU ARE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT!   It can help to make a list before you leave home, and only allow yourself to buy what is on the list.

When you're tempted by something, ask yourself whether the item is a "need" or a "want".  If it's something you actually need, buy it and don't worry about taking it back later.

But, if you know in your heart you don't need it, you just want it, put it back down.  Tell yourself that they manufactured lots of these, and you don't have to buy it today -- if you still want it in two days, go back and get it then.

Or, you can set a budget for "wants" -- allow yourself so much per week for this type of purchase, and when your budgeted amount has been spent, no more "want" purchases.  

It can also help to imagine other items you want besides the one you're looking at, and choosing whether to save your money for something else later.  It can also help to shop with a friend who knows what's going on and will help you make those decisions, especially the first few times.

It will be hard at first, but the first time you come home from the store after choosing NOT to buy something, you'll feel so good about it that things will get easier after that . . . .

Answer 3

cause you have too much money, that's why  

Answer 4

Maybe you're just an impulse buyer. You see something so you gotta have it then realize you don't need it. You can try going around with someone to talk you out of it, or just leave your credit cards or money at home, just take enough money to do what u gotta do.

Answer 5

It sounds like you're a very compulsive spender. You buy things without thinking about the decision before paying for them and taking them home. You then regret it because you realise that you didn't spend your money wisely. Try not to be so compulsive. Think about how you want to spend money, and only buy things you need. If there's things you really want, save up and only treat yourself occasionally. That way you'll value what you have and feel like you've done a great job by saving for it and spending your money wisely.  

Answer 6

when your shopping take a second and ask yourself  if you really need it. if its really worth your money.  sounds like youve become an impulse buyer

Answer 7

Sounds like your a compolsive shopper! No shame in it.. it must be physcological.. like u may enjoy the fear/reject or returning something or something unusal.. u should speak to a doctor maybe and they be able to help u out by giving u an activity to do or something.. Best of Luck.. but remmeber u could always sell the things you dont want on ebay.. =)
