Tips & Tricks to reduce wife’s or girlfriend’s desire to shop

Shopping can be an issue for many men around the globe. Women who just like to shop but regret after shopping & want to overcome their habit may also find this blog intriguing.

My friends have asked this question many times. Although I’m unmarried & never had had a girlfriend but being a student of Psychology I can shed light on some tips & tricks to reduce your wife’s or girlfriend’s shopping habit.

1. If your wife or girlfriend shops a lot & has decided to go for shopping on a particular day/evening then on that day/evening before she goes to shop ensure that her stomach is full with her favourite meal. There is a strong possibility of her not shopping much after having her favourite meal as she may be content so the desire to own things shall decrease & she won’t shop a lot. There is also a strong possibility of her feeling sleepy & may even drop her idea to shop & if she’ll go then may return home earlier than usual.

2. Proper water level in body helps in taking the right decisions. You see we don’t get so upset or angry if water levels are proper. Thus before her shopping starts ensure that she drinks lots of water or her favourite juice or drink. It shall help her take right decision & also quickly & may not ask what she must select amongst so many things. If she still asks you & you’re confused which has a strong possibility then make her drink water again & let her decide.

N.B. Avoid aerated drinks as they do the opposite & promotes water loss.

3. If possible you may even hold her hand. They feel nice. It stimulates the brain releases serotonin & desire to own unwanted things also decreases.

N.B. Tip 3 if tried in a mall which has a theatre or in a place which has a theatre nearby may back fire as it'll enhance her mood & she may get an idea of watching a movie & may waste your time & money.

4. You may make her meditate before she starts shopping. It’ll relax her mind & enhance her ability to take right decision so her shopping will happen at a better speed & she won’t purchase unwanted items.
