Target Clearance

I LOVE Target clearance. I love to see what I can find for 75% off on the back isles of Target. The problem I find is finding something cheap, and buying it because it is cheap not because I need it. This actually doesn't help you save money, but helps you spend it. I have really cut back on my Target spending by doing a couple of things. I put whatever I think I might like in the cart, walk it around for a bit. There is a feeling of ownership just having it in my cart. I almost feel as if I have bought it just by having it there. After walking around a bit and my adrenaline cooling from finding super sweet deals on things I don't even need, I look through it again. Putting things back that were impulse grabs. Then just before I check out I ask myself, do I REALLY need this, or will it just sit somewhere and not be used. I normally put 90% of the junk I almost wasted my money on back. It works for me, give it a try. Also would love to hear how you keep from spending your entire budget at Target.
