Some signs of compulsive shopping include regularly breaking a set budget, shopping to feel better, being unable to set a budget at all, hiding shopping expeditions, and running up extremely high balances on credit cards. A compulsive shopper may also enter a return cycle, in which shame develops around a purchase and the purchase is returned, but the shopper buys more items at the store. Compulsive shoppers also tend to purchase a wide range of items, some of which don't fit or seem extremely impractical.
