Control Impulse Buying with These Tips

Bethenny's new book, "Skinnygirl Solutions," has some great tips to help you organize your life. If you think you need help to control your impulse buying, these tips are for you.


Bethenny's advice on controlling impulse buying asks 5 simple questions:

  1. Do I need this?

  2. Do I already have something similar to this?

  3. How much am I willing to spend?

  4. How many times will I wear this?

  5. Do I have 3 things in my closet right now that will match this?

If you can't answer all of those questions, then you shouldn't buy whatever you're currently thinking about buying. Now, we're not saying that you shouldn't indulge, but these tips will help you curb buying when you don't really need something.
