(一) You are doing some shopping online and suddenly a message appears next to the picture of a coffee
machine, "Only 1 left!" it says, Wow, you think, "It must be good if it is so popular. " Should you buy it? You
don't really drink much coffee.... While you are thinking, another message pops up, "Twenty other people are
currently looking at this item," You'd better buy it fast before someone else does! Quickly, you click the "Buy
Now!" button.
Buying something without planning is called "impulse buying," It is a real problem for a lot of shoppers. People
spend a lot of money on things they never use. Shopping websites use many tricks to encourage impulse buying.
These include sales, bestseller tags, star ratings and reviews, and timers.
To stop yourself from being pushed into impulse buying, ask yourself a few questions before you click
"Buy." Do I really need this item? What would I use it for? What else could I buy for this amount of money?
Remember, online stores want your money, and they will try anything to get you to spend it!
