It's spending2) Plan out a christmas list & find items you need NOW & then save the links and buy on black friday. 3) Think about things you will need in 2020-- wedding gifts, bday gifts, etc. 4) Bulk purchases or big purchases--wedding stuff (cups, coozies, etc). 5) Shop from your couch--less tempted by "window shopping." 6) Set a "for fun" amount & stick to it (just make it realistic)7) Shop in privacy mode or w/ cookies disabled
