Thinking before buying something is really important as, buying things you really don't need just increases your carbon footprint which is unfair for our environment as well. Spending over your budget also can lead yourself into difficult situation. It can also put you in financial issues too so that's why making the decision "is it worth it" or "do I really need it" is a good thing to think about before making a purchase.

I agree that people should think before buying certain items, especially when items might have a large carbon footprint. For example, people should think before buying new articles of clothing because fast fashion is one of the leading causes to climate change. People don’t need new clothes, but since trends come and go quickly, people are always buying new clothes which they only wear a couple of times, and then throw out. Also, items have a carbon footprint before you even buy them. Items like clothes and exotic foods are imported from all around the world and have a large carbon footprint from being transported by boat or plane. People should think before they buy new items, not only if they truly need it or if it’s just a want, but also if the item has a large carbon footprint and if it will be put to good use by the purchaser.

I think before you go shopping you should see if it’ll affect your day-to-day life.  Like let’s say clothes, if you don’t see yourself wearing this commonly (Besides suits and dresses) why waste your money or time?  Or food, if you're not going to eat it, why get it?  That’s why you shouldn't go shopping when you're hungry.
