① Have you made unplanned buys this week? Your impulse buys(冲动购买) could reach 5,400 every year. That's how much American people spend each year on impulse buys, according to a new study. The study shows people make three of those buys a week, adding up to 450 a month and 5,400 every year.
② While shopping—impulsively or not—can be fun, the results might not be so great if you don't plan for it. If you're among those who have to fight against impulse shopping which is causing problems, there are some ways to control(控制) yourself.
③ For example, before you head to the checkout with your impulse buy, in a store or online, take a minute to ask yourself whether you really need it. Is this needed? Would I buy it anyway? If not, wait a day and then decide if it's a buy that is meaningful. Remember not to buy anything just because it's cheap. It's also important to check if it is the lowest price you can get.
④ If you're shopping online and see a great price, make sure you think about the delivery cost(运费) before you press the "buy" button(按钮). With a little research, you might find a better deal(交易) somewhere else. You should also check on return policies(政策). If you regret(后悔) your impulse buy, it might end up costing you money even if you return it.
⑤ And as for those impulsive food buys? If they usually happen on the street, make a shopping list and add nothing to it while shopping. Also, don't fight against nature(天性). Don't go to the store when you're hungry. Leave home with a full stomach.
