Put them in ziploc bags, first, so that you don’t scratch them when taking the ice off :-D
The frozen cc works to a point. One can run it under hot water and have it in a jiffy. However it is effective in making one stop and think about whether it is for a ‘want’ or ‘need’…..helps with the impulse if not the actual spending :-)
I think freezing the cards is a great idea. If they are in a deep enough bowl of water so it’s a real effort to defrost them that’s going to stop an impulse spend. Gods point about the ziplock bag pigletbunny.
Oops missed an ‘o’ ! Or I have just given you a promotion pigletbunny! :)

Um. I have my complete credit card info memorized, or scanned into my phone, or stored on the websites I shop at. So maybe more updated advice?
Oh! Or I use PayPal, Venmo, Amazon Pay, Facebook, Apple One Touch, and I know there are more I use. Credit cards are going the way of dinosaurs. Except for the occasional loss of control for
in-game purchases, I’m doing pretty ok with impulse spending, but it was not so easy for a long time to stay consistent. There’s no simple solution to impulse shopping any more, I think.
