Shopping Addiction Support Group
Oniomania (also known as shopping addiction), is the compulsive desire to shop. Similar to other compulsive behaviors, sufferers often experience the highs and lows associated with addiction. The purchase generates a mood of satisfaction, gives their life meaning, and lets them forget about their sorrows.
So has anyone here ever fallen into spending money recklessly on stuff like Avon, Mary Kay or some other catalog type of purchasing? My latest problem area seems to be Avon. I'm buying a lot of it lately. I'm placing an order for every campaign which runs every two weeks or so. Any advice on how to avoid doing this when you are faced with the opportunity on a regular basis (there is a woman who sells it where I work, so it's easy to access)?
Thanks,
M.

I too spend more than I should on cosmetic items. Must be a self-esteem thing. I use sephora.com website way to much.

It's funny because for the most part, I don't even wear makeup, and yet I still buy it! Though, I had a small success in that I did not buy anything from Avon this week. :D

I visited a Sephora shop this weekend and bought only the 1 thing that I needed. I could have easily spent my whole paycheck!

So far I am 3 weeks into not buying new avon stuff. I looked at the brochure, and then put it down and didn't order anything!
