This way I will buy fewer items plus save money.Negative reinforcement: To get rid of this habit Ive developed I can force myself to not buy anything at allPositive punishment: If I decide to only impulse buy once a month I think that this consequence will allow me to budget better while saving me money.Negative punishment: If I keep impulse buying unnecessary items I will go broke and not be able to pay for more important things
