Yeah, I don't seem to have a specific time of year either. Seems I am a feast or famine buyer. I go on massive splurges then abstain for several months, then splurge again then fast again. I do tend to save splurge time for specific events like if I know I am attending a quilt show I will save up purchasing to blow on show specials. But if I stumble across a too good to pass up sale (like the recent fabric depot blowout of batiks for $5 PY) I will not hesitate to stock up. If I am on a serious buying fast I avoid temptation and won't go looking at any sites that may tempt me.
