Consumer Confidence
May 26th, 2009
Consumer confidence is up – and most likely your urge to shop. There is a school of thought that suggests as follows: If you see an expensive item which immediately becomes a need – a burning passion you just can’t live without – walk away. If the desire continues unabated for at least five days and you can afford it, go back to the store. If the item is still there, your lust increases on seeing it again, and they have it in your size, congratulations. If it’s not there, or they are out of your size, consider yourself saved by karma. That way, you avoid acting on impulse and can know with certainty that you really want it.

By the way–this is ABSOLUTELY my rubric for good shopping. Sometimes that need totally fades…and you are saved! When on line, put things in the shopping bag or on wish list and same rules apply
Good luck!!
