leave your wallet at home until you become disciplined.

I DO THE SAME THING! I even buy stuff I know I'm not gonna wear. Today I bought a pair of shoes that are TIGHT for me, so I know I'll probably wear them once at the most, yet I still bought them. But that wasn't all I bought.
The best thing to do is probably to leave your money at home and only take the amount you need for where you're going. Also try and get a friend to stop you from buying things.

For me I have to think about the goal I have of getting my "big house" I think about if i keep spending money on things I don't really care about or need, just want in the moment, I'll never get my house--that way it does not seem like I'm going with out, it feels like I'm making the right choice.

Maybe you could take out only a certain amount of cash for random purchases each month and once the money is gone, you can't spend anymore. That's one of the problems I see with credit cards/debit cards. You keep spending without really thinking about how much you are spending.

you can stop spending money unwisely, if you really want. all you needs are you have a self-discipline and have a strong self-control for that. good luck and spend money wisely!!!

set up a budget w/ envelopes. you need an envelope for everything: groceries, going out to eat, clothing, gas, utilities, etc. when the envelope is empty you can't spend any more money. it has helped us.

Stop carrying your purse/credit card with you, and spending more on social/charitable causes.

Who says you don't need silly things. I NEED a whoopee cushion, and they are quite silly.

Figure out the void you are trying to fill in your life and attend to it.

Stop and ask yourself in that moment. "Do I really Need This?" And why? Don't make excuses. =)
