It is not wrong to have things. It becomes wrong when things have you. If you allow the desire for a thing to tempt you into turning from God’s word then you will have to make a change. When I shop, now this is my opinion, and you can take it or leave it. I will find something I want or need and my natural man says get it. You want it get it! But my drive is always to put God first. I believe God wants me to have all my Desires, but I also think God wants me to be the best steward of money I can. I will shop for the things I want or need and do my very best to make sure my purchase is the wisest choice for the money. I will see something I like, and give it two or three days before I buy to be sure i am not buying from impulse. The world has impulse buying on every corner. Every registar at the store is loaded with last minute purchase stuff, that you probably will never need. I look at each day as a challenge, to see what when I can beat the devil at his own game each day in Jesus name. I grocery shop the same way, I can tell you the best price that there ever was on every item I use and unless I am out of it I will wait until the price is right. This may sound crazy, but I want to get the most for God’s money that He allows me to use.
