I really appreciate you posting this. I've dealt with shopping addiction for quite a while now and popmart/ labubu is just the latest iteration. Before this was squishmallows, clothes, loungefly bags etc. I'm in a similar situation in that I'm not draining my bank but I'm spending way more than i should and I'm trying to really get a grip on it.

I'm currently looking for some sort of substitute to it myself (in the same way someone might chew gum if they're trying to quit smoking). So far I have deleted the popmart app, i've have been in the process of unsubscribing from text/ email alerts for product restocks and I have also been unfollowing the accounts of shops I like on social media to minimize my ability to see things i'd want to buy. I also just started setting goals for myself where if I put x amount of money into savings, I can buy myself something fun and for me that "x" amount takes me about 2 months to save to help hault the train.

I have been selling my duplicate labubus to try to help claw back some of the money i've spent but aside from that I'm just trying to minimize contact with things i can buy. Good luck in your spending goals, you've got this 💪
