karelSo I've written up a post on the subject of "enough," and how my own overabundance of things was revealed to me - that is, by cleaning out and organizing my bathroom. You can find it over here, on my journal.
If we live in the US of A and many other "first world" countries, most of us have probably dealt with, in one way or another, the constant encouragement to buy much more than we need. Sales! 2/1 deals (and more/1 deals!). Buy more and save! Bulk products! Most of us that have the funds to do it (and even those without) have probably succumbed to this at some point.
So tell us all - how have your experiences with overbuying been? What are your major weak spots (for me, it's "it won't go bad, so it can't hurt to stock up!")? Have you made efforts to stop? What strategies do you use? Do they work for you? What do you do with your excess?
