>>57835008I'm extremely weak to good quality merch, so I removed shopping sites/apps from all my bookmarks and such. The dopamine hit from accumulating stuff fades pretty quickly, even turning to regret when there's just too much to consoom. I eventually just channeled my desire for Mays into just making shitty drawings of her. In hindsight I never regretted doing those drawings, especially when there is minor improvement over time, I don't feel like I lost anything besides the time I spent doodling. Drawing being a basically free activity also helps.
Though the only purchase I find more useless than merch/toys is unnecessary food, especially prepared meals. At least merch lasts awhile, but food is only tasted for maybe an hour then gets shitted out in a day.
