Impulse buys can be a real financial drain if left unchecked. It's essential to understand what causes them in order to prevent them. Boredom is one common trigger. When we are bored, we are more likely to look for excitement, which might be found in new purchases. Stress is a different trigger. Shopping can be a form of therapy. When we are stressed, we frequently look for ways to reduce that stress. Finding different ways to satisfy your triggers will help you stop making impulsive purchases. When you're bored, consider going for a stroll or reading a book rather than going shopping.
