My shopping habits are frugal. I shop price/decent quality. I'm not taken in, and know the difference between need and want. (Let's face it, a lot of people don't, causing themselves a lot of needless grief). Thrift store shopper for sure. (And people are always complimenting. If you shop smart, it works.)

Which is not to say I don't buy things I don't strictly need(!) But I'm cognizant about it. And I HATE excessive possessions. They stress me out. I somewhat recently literally invited people to take boxes and fill them with whatever they wanted (I'd already moved the things that actually mattered to me). Including a stereo system. My ex-BF was an excessive shopper and had SO much stuff in our tiny space and it drove me up a wall. I'd HAD IT with extraneous material possessions.

I did have a big hypo/manic spell about a decade ago where I went nuts on Ebay. It was a standout time, not my usual MO. Again, nearly all of it was left behind/given away/sold.

I am the Anti-Hoarder.
Lol.
