In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada. The sound of children shouting ade her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away.

Are you a proble shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or soeone else thinks that you soeties get carried away with shopping.

Soe love to shop as it akes the feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop siply because it akes the forget, at least teporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.

What’s ore, food courts, coffee shops and restroos are provided, so you don’t have to leave the all because of your physical needs.
Therefore, once you becoe aware of how arket forces work, you will certainly coe to control your shopping behavior. For exaple, how uch tie you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the all. Keep a written account of what ites you will buy and how uch oney you will spend. ake a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.
