How do I stop shopping?

I'm struggling with the same problem, but since I started lurking on the Grocery Challenge thread, I've used their ideas and a few tricks that seem to work.
The most important for me seems to be just not walking into any shop unless I absolutely have to buy something that's on a list. Impulse buys are what seems to have been causing me most of my problem. I've also started keeping a record of my No Spend Days and I'm disappointed to notice that I went from 12 in February to only 10 in March. Wake up call time!Better is good enough.Note to self: Motivation follows Action, not the other way around.0
