I've disabled one-click which has helped a lot. Another thing I do is take pictures in stores instead of pulling out the Visa. I do this with housewares and clothes a lot. Started when I bought my first house and realized I couldn't pay my mortgage if I kept buying every rug and fruit bowl I liked. Love your blog, Mike!

They say something like 95% of your desire is just to see it on yourself, so you should try the item on, even if it's really expensive. I try to do this when I covet things - just try it on, and usually it takes away the desire to have it. This is actually really similar to the theory for women who want to buy clothing.
