The trick for me to reduce impulse buys is to see if I want to buy the thing 3 days in a row. If I kept thinking about buying the thing on the third day, I'll buy it.

I do just about the same thing, but force myself to put an equal amount of money into long term savings before I actually buy it. If I'm not willing to spend twice the price on something, do I really need it?
