overshopping
Buying too much
Overshopping is buying more than you need or can afford, typically as a compulsive behavior rather than rational consumption.
The term frames excessive purchasing as a problem akin to overeating or overdrinking: Her overshopping had maxed out three credit cards.
It appears frequently in self-help contexts addressing consumer habits and financial health.
