Thank you for your reply, angelene! Yes, I keep everything too if I'm not paying attention. Receipts, wrappers, bags, boxes, packaging. It's pretty bad. I always think, what if I have to exchange or return it? But I never do and stuff just piles right up.

I too am not as bad as the programs but I definitely have the tendencies and I now am a lot more aware. I'm going to work on throwing out as much as I can here. I want it all done yesterday but in truth I have no idea when it will be cleared out in here.

I overbuy, too. Too many clothes, too many e cigarettes, no matter what I'm buying I buy too much unless I'm really focused. I'm a lot more aware now than I used to be though. That's good at least and especially if I can quit buying things.
