Limit Overspending by Establishing a “no Return Policy”
A generous return policy makes shopping easy. After all, if you don’t like it, you can return it. This can lead to overspending. If you tend to think this way, establish a personal no-refund policy to keep your spending under control.
Of course, if your purchase is faulty, broken or doesn’t work properly, don’t return it, you don’t need to be that strict. The goal is to avoid the “ah, I can always answer” attitude, especially if you know you probably won’t give up. You must be prepared to get stuck on an item before purchasing it. This internal policy makes you wonder if you need something now rather than buying and returning later. Follow the link to learn more about other ways stores manipulate our shopping behavior.
