while shopping, ask yourself:
- do I really need this? differentiate between wants and needs.
- do I own something else that can serve the same purpose?
- am I buying this primarily because it's on sale? a bargain is only a good deal if you needed the item in the first place.
- will I actually use it regularly?
- can I borrow this instead of buying it?
- what else can I do with this money?
- am I buying this for myself, or am I influenced by someone else's opinion or desire?
- can this purchase wait? if it's not urgent, give it some time. you might realize you can do without it.
- what is my emotional state? am I stressed, bored, or unhappy?
- is this an impulse buy?

- "I stopped when I saw the words Rape Victim in bold at the top of one sheet. A fish leapt out of the water. I paused. No, I do not consent to being a rape victim. If I signed on the line, would I become one? If I refused to sign, could I remain my regular self?"
- "They could not undo what was done, but they could record it, photograph every millimeter of it, seal it into bags, force someone to look. Not once did they sigh or pity or poor thing me. They did not mistake my submission for weakness, so I did not feel a need to prove myself, to show them I was more than this. They knew. Shame could not breathe here, would be shooed away. So I made my body soft and gave it over to them, while my mind bobbed in the light stream of conversation. Which is why, thinking back on this memory with them, the discomfort and fear are secondary. The primary feeling was warmth."
