http://finance.yahoo.com/news/7-compulsive-shopping-traps-we-fall-into.html
Here are seven of the most common compulsive-shopping traps and tips on how to avoid them:
Compulsive shopping as a hobby or sport
Cruising for deals online
Having to own the latest technology
Mistaking shortcuts for savings

Confusing 'clearance' with 'necessity'
Taking couponing to the extreme
