Buy a Prepaid Credit Card to track my Spending for just 'whatever' stuff and set myself a Limit. I think it would work, put a specific amount on it a week (Because I get Paid Weekly) and then use it that way...
You know there are weekends when you really do not feel like Shopping...? Its weird, last weekend I had a shopaholic moment and then the weekend before I had no urge to buy stuff period. WEIRD.

Your prepaid credit card idea has merit so long as it doesn't "require" you to spend the money.

Yes, sometimes, I will also use it to buy a little something for myself. However, I use as much as I have set aside in my checking, not by my credit card limit, which is somewhat higher.
I use it mostly as a way to simplify my everyday financial stuff and to re-build my credit.
However, I would caution anyone to be careful because it's easy for things to get out of hand. If it wasn't for re-building my credit, I would just stick with my debit card.

At the end of 15 minutes, look at the paper again. If you still want it, go for it.
