Those delicious-looking cookies. That handy bottle of hand sanitizer. The fun little toy. Store aisles are filled with merchandise like this, called “impulse buys.” These are relatively small products aren’t terribly expensive, but they do satisfy a temporary want for a shopper instead of a need that’s already on a shopper’s list. The negative side to impulse buys is that shoppers might waste money on an item that could easily end up tucked away, unused, in their homes.
Those who want to avoid cluttering their Lady Lake, FL, apartment at The Quarters with impulse buys should consider the following advice.
Leave it be – When you pick something up at the store, you may develop a false sense of attachment to the item as if it's already yours. This will only increase the chances of that item becoming an impulse buy. Instead, try leaving the item there and come back later.
Make a list – Write down a specific set of goods that you want to purchase before even entering the store. It will automatically make your shopping trip a shorter, more productive one. In addition, you'll have a better idea of what your budget will look like after all the items on your list have been marked off.
Eat before shopping – A very common tip for shoppers who want to avoid spending extra money is to never shop while hungry. Doing so may add several unexpected items to your list which will quickly rack up the grocery bill.
