I'm very vulnerable to advertising. For instance, if I see a pizza commercial on TV, then I will usually end up ordering pizza for dinner. How do you resist advertising or sales pressure?

Just turn off the TV. It sounds simplistic but really the best idea for resisting any kind of ad that might be influencing you to spend money you don't want to spend.

Ignore them? It's your money, you don't have to spend it. Though some of those ad people will have good advice. Pick their brains for ideas and you might learn something.

That's the whole essence of advertising it's to induce,motivate and persuasive one to buy without looking back.

So all what you need do is to refrain from impulsive buying. you need to train your system and discipline yourself against buying at a spot.
