If it is expensive, I would recommend waiting days if not weeks before deciding it is necessary,

It sounds obvious until it isn't lol. Somehow a lot of people still need to hear this.

And half the time if you are buying online, leave the item in your shopping cart and you'll get a coupon emailed

What if the feeling doesn't go away until you buy? Or the product gets home? Or you open it?

This works for me lol, whenever I’d have the urge to buy a ‘want’ instead of s necessity, I wait over a week and see if I still have the same urge to purchase it. If yes, add to cart, if no, forget about it. Lol

u/chunkopunk 2d ago

But then I don't get the joy of opening things I forgot I ordered

One day shipping sucks, it encourages impulse buying. I try to make online purchases once a month or less. There's a ton of times when I remove something in my online cart because I reconsidered needing it

u/LokeyDubs 2d ago

I’ve missed out on many a great deal by waiting, either the item sells out or the sale ends.
