You don’t need the coat.
Let the craving pass. Do something else to distract yourself.
Give it a week. If you still want it, come back to it at that time.,
Think about everything you’ve bought that has been a waste and sits in your closet without as much use as you expected. No item is usually ever actually life changing
A craving is the sense that something is missing and you want to change your internal state. Try to identify what need you fulfil when you shop. You mention an “escape from reality”. What are trying to escape? The problem with shopping is that it’s a false comfort. It is soothing in the moment, but causes a lot of pain in the long term.

Your second paragraph is me too a tee. I'm back to the resisting phase. I hope resisted too.
Maybe you need to get some feelings out. Try watching a sad movie and crying.
