This was, and is to an extent, 39 -year old brand consultant Satish Singh's routine each time he got his paycheque, "My shopping addiction began when Flipkart was the major player--way before Amazon came along," he says. "It initially started with ordering books. It then became about finding deals online. When you are earning and have money at your disposal, you are tempted to buy things.

Just like Singh, the convenience of online shopping tempted a lot of us to buy things; things we may not even have needed. Singh says he once spent ₹ 80,000 in three months.

"Wait for two days and decide whether you need it. Most of the time, you would not buy it." Most important, he says, seek help.
