I found a very effective way to limit my spending at Powell's Technical. The rule is simple; you have to leave the store after picking out the books you want. The ones you still want to buy after having lunch or walking around the block are the ones you can buy.
I actually follow this rule approximately two visits of every three.

Especially Powell's Technical bookstore...everytime I go home to Portland I go broke buying books there.
