I know the feeling. Same here.

If you don't go shopping, you won't spend. Find the time and look through your stash for your next project.
I was tempted the last time I was at Joann's. Since I had no project in mind for the fabric I was tempted to buy, I talked myself out of a purchase.

I used to spend spend spend when quilt shops were close by. Most have gone out of business or moved further away. They put an end to my spending. With DH work schedule and mine, I get out very little now. I don't drive and there are no shops within walking distance any longer. Oh, well, saving some money this way. lol

I have no answers for you I have my own purchases to try and control. :lol: :lol: :lol: Every time I say no more buying that's when sales pop up with great savings and I convice myself I'd be dumb not to take advantage of the low prices. How can we walk away from a deal when fabric prices are sky rocketing and you've been searching for other coordinating fabrics for a project and there are some advertised :?: :?: :?: It's so unfair to us isn't it :!: :!: :!: How do they expect us to control ourselves under these conditions :!: :!: :!: How they even have Quilt Addiction Rehabs :?: :?: :?:

i am lost, here, too. i work long hours, i don't get out to shop often, and i do have a cash stash that is mine. i have discovered the joys of online shopping, and indulge in yardage, kits, etc fairly often. i buy batting when there's a good deal, or a great coupon in the paper. all too soon i will be retiring. (too soon for the personal budget. in reality, i'd retire tomorrow if i really could) when i retire, there will be no more shopping sprees. so, i consider this, right now, as my fabric retirement account. if i croak first, there are at least two of my daughters who will use it, or see it to the proper homes. if i live long enough to use all of the stash, i will be about 200 when i die...
