Just in your notes app or whatever. It scratches the same itch as making the purchase. And then you have the whole list there to consult when you have extra money to buy something fun - but the cool thing is if you let the list sit there for a whole you usually dont even want the thing anymore. And then if time passes and you still want it it feels more worth it! Honestly get it out of your mind and on a note and it interrupts the shopping cycle.

Nice way to see how impermanent most materialistic desires are. and makes the ones that count feel much more precious

I often categorise my browser tabs— skincare, clothing, articles I don’t want to lose, etc. moving it to a folder with every other clothing cart/idea/impulse helps me to notice overlap. I also make a list— so this winter, I need to replace my heeled work boots, and I’d like to add to my pants and professional tops, and I’d like an adult purse. This helps in that most of the impulse items are not on the list, and can be ignored. If you notice after grouping them all together that you’ve put 5 pairs of red mary janes in different carts, that might be a sign that they’re a thing you want, versus the random event shoes that are about to be weather inappropriate.
