re: delaying purchases. Someone I worked with years ago told me about how they shop for stuff that I found immensely helpful. When they find something interesting online, they add it to their cart but do not check it out for two weeks. If they're still interested in the thing then, that means that they are more likely to use it, which justifies checking it out and buying it. If they are wondering why that's in their cart by then, then they avoided an impulse purchase for something that would likely go unused.
