I used to have a HUGE stash... one I thought I couldn't possibly ever use up... but I DID! But then word got around about the number of charity quilts that I do, and how many scrappy quilts I make, and I became the recipient of lots of other people's scraps... and YEP.. got lots of stash here again. LOL! I still have to buy lots of background material and backing and batting, but I have scraps enough to do what I do now. I think if I were still shopping like I used to, I would concentrate more on those purchases than the impulse buying I did "back in the day", but still and all, I did use everything I bought back then eventually, so nothing went to waste either. Hang in there... you may use it up!
