Which is why I specifically omitted buying clothing from my reasons to go to the mall. I'm aware that I'm the minority who just doesn't care enough as long as the shirt fits and isn't itchy. Most people I know of who are going to the mall are going to buy clothes - because there are a number of clothing retailers in relatively close proximity and they can try things on at each place. >There is also an intrinsic instant gratification of purchasing something and taking it home immediately. I think not having this is great to help avoid impulse buying. I have no gratification in making purchases and rather dislike spending money at all. That buying something doesn't "feel good" means I make less purchases than my roommate who loves buying cute stationary and such. She doesn't actually use any of the stationary - but buying it makes her happy.
