Television is definitely a source of shopping inspiration. Advertising unfortunately stimulates and ignites cravings and needs and pushes us to purchase items that are perhaps unnecessary or otherwise beyond our financial means.

Reducing contact time with advertising in all its forms will certainly reduce the desires associated with purchases as well.
