Many people I see go into a store to buy one or two things, and come out with way more than they anticipated, with the excuse "oh I saved money! It was all on sale!".
If you we're going to get the item anyway, yes you saved money, but if you didn't plan on it, you still spent money you didn't have to.
EDIT: You could also set a budget, $150 for example. If you're going into a store, don't bring your card, only bring cash so you're not tempted to go over your limit. (Edit of an edit: Someone mentioned you could miss out on some rewards or promotions if you don't have your card, so I wonder what another way to limit yourself other than willpower would be?)
EDIT 2: Thank you all so much for the support on this post, I tried replying to the comments at the start but it became overwhelming with the amount of comments coming in, thank you all for your input and advice to others!
ANOTHER EDIT: Thank you kind one for the gold! My first ever <3
