The Parking Lot

My favorite anti-impulse-buying trick: 🛒 Under $100 = 48-hour waiting period 🛒 Over $100 = 1-week waiting period Everything goes into a “parking lot” notes folder first. I’ve probably bought less than 20% of the items that made the list. Most of the time I realize I don’t need it, don’t want it anymore, or already own something similar. That little pause has saved me money, reduced clutter, and helped me move toward gentle minimalism without feeling deprived. 👍🏻
