Clothes - specifically, sleeveless tops. I have enough that I can go all summer without wearing the same one twice to work, but I still can't stop. I even have a shopping rule that I only buy something if I really love it. If I'm lukewarm on something, it stays at the store and I still manage to find things that come home with me. I am a bargain shopper, so at least I am vigilant about the amount I spend.
I have more scrapbook supplies than I'll ever be able to use. I have slowed down, but still by some of the new releases.
For most consumables, I'm trying to practice the word "use". I have pretty much stopped buying shampoo/conditioner and hair spray until I get the collection down to a reasonable level. I have even stopped buying DH's shampoo & just been putting my cast-offs in the shower for him. He doesn't use conditioner, so I'm using that for shaving instead of buying shave gel. I'm slowly making progress on the stockpile.

Right now I would say I keep buying too many hair, makeup and skin care products. I guess I’m still looking for the magical product that will turn me into a supermodel! Lol I can relate to the hair products - I stand there reading the labels, homing in on the words I want to apply to my hair but knowing full well that some people in an office somewhere have sat there deciding which words to use to attract buyers. I still fall for it sometimes though  |

Hand soap. It seems like everytime I go to JoAnn's they have the handsoap pumps in the checkout aisle buy three, get one free and they are only $1. I buy some every time.

Shoes.
Paper crafting supplies.
Nail polish - I only paint my toes, and I don't change it that often, so I have way more than I can use. Many haven't been used or used only once so far.

Shower Gel.. between my 21 year old and me.. well we should smell really good for a long time.. damn that BBW Semi-Annual Sale. I never ever go in there unless this sale is going on.. I could not justify paying more than 3.00ish dollars for shower gel (and sugar body scrub)...

Dogs & cats!!
I've got 3 cats & 3 dogs. I'd say that is plenty. My son & his family live next door & they have 2 dogs & 1 cat so we are pretty full!
I admit I am thinking about getting a few peacocks!!! They are supposed to be great watch birds to alert you when coyotes are coming into their yard. I live on acreage so I have plenty of room for all the pets to roam free if they want or lounge in the house.....well the birds can stay outside in a nice A/C & heated shed if need be.

Beginner piano books. I get stuck in my main lesson book (I'm teaching myself to play) and get bored and just want something new and not too complicated to play.
Board games (we have started having family game night once a week) finding games two 40 year olds, a 13, 11,8 and 4 year old can all play is like a personal challenge.

Throw pillows LisaDV jeremysgirlFor shits and giggles, I just did a count and I have 68 throw pillows in this house, including what is stored in my linen closet. I have a real problem. I like to swap them out to entertain myself. Sigh. I am starting to get smart, though, and buy pillow covers to save on space. Throw pillows = cheap thrills. |

Shoes. I had to get rid of every shoe I owned a few years ago and could only wear one type for years due to foot issues. I'm finally healed and I can't buy enough shoes. Of course, now they are all orthotic, but they make some darn cute orthotic shoes now and I can't seem to buy enough.

Really nothing. I rarely buy much of anything.
Not that I can't afford it, but I just don't WANT it. I have few clothes, and really no buying until I need something.
I feel like such an outcast!

I am trying to use up my previous indulgences scrapbooking supplies and yarn. Now I have gotten into quiilting. Fabric, rulers (need them for the block of the month really hon), thread. Fortunately many patterns are free but..... I download all I like. Oh and a friend asked me to make her a flag afghan as her son is entering the army more yarn.

Books Books are a big one with us. The board games are bought from dh, ds, and dd. We have 2 large plastic shelves in the basement full and 3 shelves in the living room for current playing favorites. |

Makeup and scrapbook supplies. Both are an addiction. I need to unsubscribe to some emails! Every time I get a good sale email, I'm like "ooohhhh!!! I NEED THAT!"

Panties and bras. I work in the lingerie department of a large retail store. When there is a big sale, great coupons and my discount, I can't control myself. Plus, most are pink.

White jeans! I just love the look of white jeans and white pants in the summertime. However, I don’t love the look on me, but I keep buying more white jeans and white pants. I keep thinking I’ll stumble on the magical pair of white jeans that makes me look tall and lean, instead of short and not so lean.

They say using disposable water bottles is bad for the environment so I buy about 500 reusable water bottles. I'm quite sure that's better, right? I have different Tervis, small ones, big ones, medium ones, Corksicles, Giam, S'well, yeti, ....
Don't open that cabinet though...they're all going to fall out on your head.
