I see from your blog that you mention that you don't really have room for all the things that you have bought. That's definitely a problem that I have - especially with clothes. I have so many articles of clothing that I don't use and it's a shame. Thanks for stopping by and the best to you with your "Operation Stop Buying Crap" :) Mandy – that’s great to hear things are going so well for you!

Shoes, clothes, magazines, books, <I> things </I> etc. I've made a deal that for this month, I will not buy any clothes or magazines or books at all. I am spending money on things for the new place such as pots and stuff, but nothing completely unnecessary such as clothes etc. So far, half way through and going strong :) Having just moved 2 weeks ago, I definitely know that I have been guilty of buying things I haven’t needed.

That is definitely a problem with my shopping in the past - I was blinded by the great deal. That's how I ended up with things I didn't need. The garage sale is a way to redeem myself, yet I know that I will lose money in the end because I paid more for things at the time of purchase. I am finding that the more I look deeper into my previous habits, I am finding ways to improve myself and in turn improve my family's financial situation. I enjoy when others leave comments that make me think even more about everything.

Conflicted? Interesting the juxtaposition of this post — about buying things that weren’t necessary and planning to sell them — and the one just before, about how to buy clearance items. Conflicted?
