    Another good “trick” is waiting two weeks once you find the thing you “need” before actually buying it. If you forget or change your mind in these two weeks, you didn’t need it that much. Plus it gives more time to think and potentially find a better product

      Definitely. Another similar trick I used to do was to write down the objects in my agenda under “things I wanted to buy.” Sometimes just the act of writing it down gave me the feeling of having fulfilled the desire in some weird way.
