One in 20 adults suffers from impulse shopping.
This is the number of adults that scientists estimate experience compulsive buying behavior. People buy unnecessary things, can't stop, and even get into debt. Psychologist Sophia Sulim told Paska how to deal with impulsive shopping. The expert advises leaving items in the cart for a day, setting a weekly spending limit and limiting the number of visits to the markets.
"You have to throw things in the cart and wait a day, and also at the level of operation to determine the limit that should be in purchases," Solim explained.
According to the expert, inner feelings are often hidden behind uncontrolled purchases. And if you can't deal with the urge to shop on your own, you should consult a psychologist.
