It only took me an hour to figure out how to start a thread this morning. :giggle


What do you keep buying even though you have a bunch already that you don't use?

Me? Notebooks. I have enough paper in this house to last me 3 lifetimes. BUT I WON'T STOP.
 
Gadgets i am the gadget queen if a new one comes out i have to have it i have a shed full of soup maker,coffee machine,icecream maker you name it ive probably had it my husband just rolls his eyes at me in the shop now and walks off
 
I am a sucker for office supplies and I will use just about any excuse (no matter how lame) to buy new pens or notebooks. I don't really hoard other stuff, though. I'm not sentimental when it comes to *things*, which really irks my mother. ;)
 
I hoard Halloween digi kits. I see a pumpkin and I NEED it! I also hoard lip balm. I have EOS lip balms everywhere. My MIL used to hoard umbrellas.
 
I would have to say pens and notepads. I am always writing notes and lists so have pens/pads all over the house. I can't go into a Staples or Office Depot store without picking up a pack of pens. I am really picky about pens too. I only like fine or extra fine point pens.
 
Other than digi scrapbook stuff? Art supplies. Notebooks & office supplies... it is really getting ridiculous. Sometimes spaghetti sauce... you know... when it is a really good deal at the store.
 
cleaning supplies...I tell people that is why I don't have a tv, those darn commercials regarding cleaning supplies would break me...I love to try the new, new and improved, better than the other one...and yet rarely find something that I like better than my ol' faithfuls of pledge, ajax, and bleach...but I keep looking!
and I hoard cliff or luna bars...I love to get them and feel safer when I have boxes of them. Just in case the federal government shuts down and for some reason takes them all off the shelves...I may be paranoid, but I am an Independant! bhwoa
 
Hmm.... chapsticks. I don't think I've ever used a whole chapstick, so why do I keep buying more?

And books. lots and lots of books in my house. :)
 
Stationery and pens, craft products, scrapping products. Makes me happy happy.
 
I hate fine and extra fine pens. LOL. The thicker the writing the better!
 
Well, just about everything. I don't qualify for my own Reality show yet, but I struggle to let things go. You never know when you'll need them, LOL.
 
I'm trying to think of something. I really don't hoard anything except digi supplies. I am all abt throwing things away when I'm done with them... much to my packrat DH's chagrin.
 
I guess I hoard unfinished craft projects....they are everywhere around here!
 
I hoard paper scrapping stuff - even though I don't do a lot of paper scrapping. Lately I can't stop buying Funko Pop figures. They are so cute. And then there is my converse problem.
 
Gotta be either journaling pens or paper scrapbook supplies. I justify both of them by saying I do Project Life but is that really a reason for ALL THAT STUFF?!
 
Ok, having unpacked and repacked our house 3 times in the past year, the items that I seem to hoard became obvious -

Mainly books (still not unpacked - nowhere to put them yet)
Magazines, cleaning products (I hate cleaning but I suppose if I have enough product it will get done - theoretically), water bottles, paper scrapping supplies, inks and stamps esp (which I haven't used for a year), and so many, many cans of fly spray - more than a dozen at last count - I think this is a memory slip at the supermarket rather than a love of fly spray though...

I am now in the process of dehoarding, feels good...
