To keep my spending in check, I avoid mindless impulse purchases and try to live by the mantra of "use it up or do without." I skip buying new clothes or gadgets unless I absolutely need them to replace worn out items. I bring my lunch to work instead of going out. And I cut out little luxuries like daily coffee runs or frequent Uber rides. While I do still budget for fun and leisure, I'm highly selective about non-essential spending.

I never get tempted to those Ads that talk of Sales. Sales are not that cheap as they appear to be.
I avoid impulsive buying. I only buy what I need, not what I want. I usually cook at home and not eating out or order takeaway.
I avoid buying things that I do not need. It's been a while since I have bought any new gadgets or clothes. Since I work from home, I do not really see the need to replace things often.
I intentionally avoid buying anything for the gram. I don't buy food from eateries. If I have the need to eat out, I use the street restaurant that sells quality food far cheaper.
