Amen to this message. I am absolutely overwhelmed but I just keep reminding myself that the deepest discounts haven’t even hit yet, and there are many more sale seasons coming in my lifetime lol. I also keep a list in the notes app, and while I have strayed on a few impulse purchases, generally I’m sticking to it. Shopping online can be a PITA though; so much of what I bought hasn’t worked out and is going straight back to the store!
It's so overwhelming. I keep catching myself having a panicky feeling like I'm going to miss something and then I remind myself that its just stuff and I calm down. The marketing overload is a lot! And I agree, dealing with the returns is SO FRUSTRATING. It's tough though, I don't have many in-person options near me, or a ton of time to go to the stores I would love to.
Loved reading this and the thoughtful reminders. I've been giving myself the same pep talk because the deals are definitely overwhelming. I keep a similar list in my Notes app with things for myself, the kids and other holiday gifts I need to get - it's so helpful to keep myself on track.

It's so helpful, I agree. It is just way too easy to buy things and then realize you actually didn't end up with what you needed (or wanted!)
