I definitely agree on cutting up your credit cards. While i would say to keep one for emergencies, you would really have to control yourself and really use it for emergencies only. During my freshman year in college, i got a credit card that my parents would pay for me, and it was to be used for emergencies only. Of course, everytime i would go into the gap i came out with something whether it was a shirt, jeans, or whatever. After that year my parents took the card away from me and that was the end of it. Now, i dont even want a credit card, they are trouble of you are a shopaholic and dont know how to use it wisely. I am much happier now because im not in debt and i keep an excellent record on my checking account.
Going grocery shopping on an empty stomach is such a bad thing! Everytime i go with my mom and im hungry she gets so mad at me because we get home with all this junk food we really dont need!
ZTAngel is right, most people just put food in their cart without looking at the price, luckily my mom taught me the right way to shop and look for the better prices. Granted some times you have to buy the more expensive item of the two because it tastes better- but for some things, it all tastes the same, why not get the cheaper one and save money!
By the way, I know you have a serious problem but on a fun note- you should read Confessions of a Shopaholic. Its a cute book, i just finished reading it!
