I know the feeling. I just go up to my building and "buy" all sorts of things that I forgot I had. I sure do save alot of money shopping from myself!

I am so happy when I can shop my stash! I don't have to fight the traffic when I go to my store!

I have also been shopping from home, unless needing something specific, and then I only buy that, even though it's very tempting.

I just went through my box that I have rulers stored in, I found things I forgot I had also. Also found some patterns and pre-printed HST sheets, 2 pkgs.

That is why I try to NOT shop at all....unless I have a plan in mind - need new sandals, capris, tennis shoes, etc. I have been practicing "I don't need that" - and if it is not on sale - don't buy it! LOL...

Think thats called stash busting. Its sad that the fabric business has devolved down to where there are only a few shops and NO competitive pricing. The latest price hike at Jo Anns is opportunity for JoAnns and I have been shopping at our newly expanded Walmart fabric dept. same fabrics in many cases and the REGULAR price without a sale coupon is usually within pennies of JoAnns, so why wait for a 50% coupon?
