Up until now, if I felt low or in a bad mood, I would go shopping and spend, spend, spend. Then I would try to justify the spending by saying things like I got it on sale or it was for my kids. There were also times when I would be in a very, very good mood and still feel the need to spend on stuff that we didn't need. When we talk about being in control of our spending, it also means being aware of our emotional state and recognizing that urge to spend.
