Do you buy repeats or always want something new?

Paper, definitely, and maybe the odd package of enamel dots if they are on clearance. And I've been known to do it unintentionally when I forget that I've already got it in my stash!

i have favorite thickers and buy multiples if they are on sale.

I buy repeats and I love new stuff too.  But especially with Thickers and alphabets there are some that just work with my style and I buy those more than once.

I've only bought more than one sheet of patterned papers (& rarely embellishments, unless by accident, because I use them sparingly) from Chatterbox, KI Memories, & October Afternoon. Like you, I'm also glad that I did (since all three companies are out of business)!

I definitely buy repeats of papers that I really love (and have occasionally bought a repeat unintentionally when I forgot I already had it). But I also love new paper, new styles. I rarely buy repeats of embellishments, though, unless you count getting the same type in different color schemes.

I don't tend to buy repeats. I have maybe once of some alphas.

I don't buy repeats of papers but might get doubles of alphas on some occasions. I have done more repeat buying in the past and things generally didn't get used so I've learned from my mistakes!

When I find a collection I like, or stickers I can use, I buy multiples right off the hop. It is so hard to get exact matches later.

If I see something I have used before and loved, I will definitely bring it home with me, but I don't go looking for exactly what I already have--either in my stash or in my albums.

I don't buy alphabet stickers, that is why I have dies and for the last year, I've had an Expression that was given to me so I make my own. I never bought them because I knew it would drive me crazy to have so many letters left that I couldn't use.

I guess I'm more for having things match or have a them so I like multiples of the same paper and cardstock. So, yes, I'll buy multiples.

I would like to say both. I do two books at a time, so I always purchase at least two of everything and I look for new stuff.

I have no problem going back and repurchasing something I've used and loved. I'll buy paper a second time. I usually only buy embellishments again if I am confident I can use all the pieces again, so die cut packs or sticker sheets are unlikely but enamel dots or wood veneer or similar generic pieces I'll buy without hesitation.

I'll also buy more than one pack of something when I'm purchasing it for the first time if I anticipate I will love it and get a lot of use out of it.

If it's something I truly love (Bazzill's Ivy textured cardstock) then I will stock up BIG TIME. 

A few months ago, I picked up a great black scripty alpha letter sticker from Walmart.  Yes.  Walmart.  You know the kind where they're designed so all the letters will line up and look like it's actually connected?  Don't come across those too often, so I went back the next week & cleared them out!

And there's a font of Thickers that I like that I have bought more than one set of. 

Other than that, like you said, there are so many supplies out there that I know something will come along that I'll probably like just as much as the paper, stickers, etc. that I love already, so I don't repurchase often.

That being said, I wish I had bought 2 of the album I am putting our Hawaii trip photos in.  What ever made me think one album was enough, I'll never know.  Now I have 2 mismatched albums from the same trip and it's driving me bonkers.  Ack.

  I will buy multiples of patterned paper if it's something I know I will use or if I like both sides. If I'm making a themed album I like to have continuty so I will have multiples of some things. I have wished I bought more than 1 pack of some Thickers.

Paper I guess, cause usually I would buy 2 of the same for possible double layouts. Sticker letters sometimes I would buy 2 if I really liked them. Of course, there is always the accidental buying of something I already had. OR if on clearance for really cheap.

I had a girlfriend who ALWAYS bought 3 sheets of paper. For every single piece of paper she had. 2 for double layouts and the 3rd for the backside. If there was no backside, she still bought that 3rd sheet in case she needed it. She had a HUGE stack of paper.
