Wait 30 days for „luxury“ buys and see if you still want it. That cuts down on splurging significantly.

This is a great strategy that I use frequently, sometimes waiting much longer. It's easy to justify expensive purchases when you're emotional about it. It's difficult to maintain that same level of emotion for 30-90 days. If you don't still feel strongly about it 3 months later, then it's not worth it.
