Depending on the moment and the substances, and especially what is in our purse, having a list of what is necessary is essential when it comes to avoiding acquiring things that are not necessary. stay in control and avoid acquiring that kind of thing.
It's always about priorities. If things come for free, we won't mind anything after all. But everything comes at a cost so we must identify what are the things we can't live without and that's how you decide what to buy.
You will buy rest of the stuff only if you have enough money which is also fine, sometimes we want to fulfill our wants as well and there's nothing wrong in that.
I try to have a NO Shopping month after every 2 months where in I do not fulfill any of my wants, only needs I buy. So ya, that's how I refrain myself sometimes. But not always.
I have a fun little strategy where I think about how many LEO tokens I could buy with that money and I found out that really help me to avoid unnecessary purchases!
I actually wrote an article about it, in case anyone is interested:
Good question. Setting a scale of preference helps me properly decide what is needed and what is not. Without this things one tend to go overboard by spending out of one's budget. So before going shopping I set up the list and ensure to strict with it. That way I stay focused with what I have already planned out. Self control is also very important has it can be very tempting when we goes into the super market or shopping mall as impulse buying tends to kick in. It is important to differentiate between our wants and our needs and properly manage it.

Hello there, I hope your day is going wonderfully well?
I use to decide things I don't need by doing my scale of preference.
I will list everything i want to buy on a list according to their importance, then chose from top list according to my budget.
This way I don't get to buy the least important things.
