Over the process of the last few years I have came to the conclusion that many times I was buying "stuff" because it was a good deal. I made an effort this year to stop that! Basically I buy groceries and household needs like laundry supplies, pet food, and the likes. Other then that I have not been bring other things into my home. I have actually been cleaning out things in my home that I don't need. I have sold about $300. worth on eBay this week. Guess what? It is such a good feeling. I am not adding stuff to my home that we don't really need. I have noticed that my savings accounts are quickly adding up too!!
