It never seems to happen. Especially, if I am not shopping with my husband, I will some how get side tracked and pick up something not on my list. Other times I get snagged by the flyer they put up front and then I look at all the sale items. Usually a waste of my time but I do through the isles. Not sure why. I recently joined a website called www.GoEyeball.com It's a site that helps you monitor items that are not on sale yet but will notify you once the price drops to the amount you are willing to pay for. Saves me a ton of time going back to check up on an item but more importantly, it has actually helped me decrease my "wants" and keep with the "needs". As I don't get to buy the item right away, it puts a time delay so if I do want it on sale, I still can but because of the time delay it sometimes put things in to perspective and I don't end up buying the item. Maybe the site should call themselves shopaholics annonymous for people like me.

It was crazy. About as bad as Christmas...you could barely find a parking spot in that giant place. I honestly don't see how we could possibly be facing any kind of recession....If that is the case, perhaps we need to build more stores. I was at the mall this past weekend. It was crazy.

I don't have money to spare and quite honestly I don't have a real need to buy stuff for the sake of buying it. I watch all the people scurrying around buying things like it was going out of style. Unless you need to buy something staying out of the stores is a good idea. (If the malls don't get any extra money from me the grocery stores definitely do; I always seem to buy more when I walk into the store) I like going to the mall but now a days I rarely shop.
