… when the need exists.

Like you already said, it's much easier to separate needs from wants when you just don't go to Amazon. It was a real eye opener for me, how I could just add a tiny bit of friction to my "customer journey" (just don't automatically start my search on Amazon), and my desire for the object would usually just … evaporate.

Like a fey mood had overtaken me, but I managed to shake it.

I guess that's consumerism.
