My DH asked me a question a few weeks ago. "Are you buying something just because it is a bargain?"

That is what I have been asking myself and the question makes me stop and think. Now, I have been in this mode for only a short time. but during this same time period I have been uncluttering our home.

With the success of clearing out extra belongings which have gone unused, I feel a new sense of freedom and accomplishment. Granted, it has taken me too long to get to the point where I want to downsize and create open space. Straightening up things is becoming a regular routine habit.....without constant reminders.

Now, when I go into a shop I feel less apt to purchase something unless it is for a specific project in progress. It is more fun shopping my stash because I am not spending additional money. Good luck!
