You cannot spend on a sale you never saw.
Direct answer
To cut marketing triggers, unsubscribe from promotional emails, turn off shopping app notifications and unfollow brands that make you want things. Use filters to send promotions to a separate folder you check only when you plan a purchase.
Step by step
- Search your inbox for "unsubscribe" and clear a batch each day.
- Click unsubscribe at the bottom of each email.
- Create a filter that sends promotional emails to a folder.
- Turn off push notifications from shopping apps.
- Delete shopping apps or log out so you must sign in each time.
- Unfollow or mute brand and influencer accounts that trigger spending.
- Use a separate email for receipts and sign-ups.
Keep the useful ones
Keep alerts for a few things you really need, such as price drops on a planned purchase.
