[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had to curb this over the years OP. We actually have a large basement with a storage room so the clutter is in check, but here is what I say to myself. "You know what saves even more money than buying this thing cheap? Not buying it at all."

Now obviously if it's stuff I KNOW I will use I find room for it. Such as kids clothes/shoes on clearance in the next size.[/quote]

What's the difference between getting kids clothes on clearance and next year's Valentine's on clearance?  I wonder if part of the reason I'm a millionaire next door type is because I am thrifty like this.  Once, ever, did I buy diapers at full price.  Once, ever, did I buy Valentine's for my kids' classes at full price.  I may have more things stored in my home, but I also know that it is either used within a year OR donated (this includes pantry items, gifts, etc.)[/quote]

I have no problem with the V Day example because I'd put them in my unfinished storage room. I wouldn't buy them (at any price) if they were going to create clutter somewhere visible. The kids clothes/shoes I buy ahead are put in the back of each kid's walk-in-closet, sorted by size and season.[/quote]
