Zero -I don't have a stash, just some bins of scraps and a few fat quarters I won a while back. I am the odd ball in my quilting group. I finish everything I start and don't usually have more than 2 projects going - one for at home and one to take, although that project has sat for a year since Covid shut down our group. Once we start up again I will bring that one with me. I know, I am very odd in the quilting world! But, I don't have any $$ invested in fabric I will get tired of!!

I probably get about 60 emails daily and most are promotional. I have 2 email accts. so luckily some of these are duplicated. I just routine go through and delete without even opening--if something really catches my eye in the subject heading I may open. I'm real good about not buying fabrics unless I'm prepping for a project. But I do sometimes "window shop". I check email in the morning once and then about now. Otherwise it's a total "time suck" and I don't want to fall into the hole too often.

Between the offers and blogs that I follow...Too many and I need to unsubscribe from a few. I think they get your email information from other sources. I have a small stash and rarely purchase online as I am fortunate to have 2 wonderful LQS near me. I get MSQC daily deal and now Green Fairy quilts.

I do a lot of shopping online but I hate to get all of their newsletters. I Unsubscribe from their newsletters. I have a large supply of everything I need for quilting and I only shop when I need something for my next project.

I usually go to the daily deals every morning for Jordan Fabrics and MSQC. Sometimes I will look at Fat Quarter Shop and have gotten a few wonderful DD from them. I also have to think about the deals during the day and hope that if I decide to purchase and find out that it is "out of stock" I feel that it was not meant for me to buy.

I'm with you on the fabric at Connecting Threads. I feel pangs when I can't get some of thier collection fabrics.
I get way too many of these and only look at certain ones. I almost always look at the deals from Thousands of Bolts and Connecting Threads. Many times I will look at the deals Wawak, has. If I'm looking for something in particular then I'll look at the ones for Missouri Quilt, and Hancocks of Paducah along with a few others.
