Goodies of all kind, no limit. Then I shut it down and walk away. It's a mindgame, but it works for me. 10-15 minutes of virtual shopping, without any real damage done. Very rarely do I make a real purchase, and the item must stick in my mind for a few days before I act. It's much easier for me to achieve this in the virtual world than the real world. I do NOT go out shopping (other than obvious necessities like food) in the real world anymore, and I have a much fatter bank account because of that!

My deterrent from online shopping is my body type. I'm very petite and thin, so a lot of clothes don't fit me well at all. The hassle of shipping things back isn't worth it to me, so I really can just browse clothes. Purses on the other hand... I just try to stay away!!! Those are great rules!
