Been there done that, have a bankruptcy to prove it. Still have the urges, just no funds. I too shop thrift stores, but for me it's the 'hunt' that I'm drawn to by thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales things like that. I wish I could give you answers on the control part, but I myself have no control. I'm OCD also, therefore I buy several of the 'thing' that I just have to buy.
You're not alone, but that doesn't help your situation much. Sorry.
