Ask:
Ok I dont know why I do this but I will buy things when I knwo I shouldnt becuase I'm affraid I wont have money to buy it tomarrow. Does that make sense?
Its like this, IF I know I only have 50 bucks till pay day I will think of things I "might" need to have before pay day and I'll go out and get it. i.e. milk , bread, cat food. I did it today. I know things will be very tight until the 20th. And I know I will need cat food and litter before then so I ran out and bought it, but when I got home I saw I had a full bad of litter. So I spent 10 dollars I didnt have to spend. Am I the only one that hoards things just incase I dont have money for it latter?
Answer:
You are absolutely not the only one!!! I do this too. I start to panic afraid if I don't get it now, we won't be able to get it later. It's a vicious cycle!
Answer:
Guilty of it too! Especially when we are getting low in our $ reserve and I don't want anyone to go without !

Answer:
well i buy things I see that I'm worried won't be around anymore when I need them.
Case in point, while pregnant with my 1st dd, babiesrus made this butterfly bath spout cover, my dh wouldn't let me buy it b/c of course our kids weren't even born yet we didn't need it. WELL they don't make it anymore! So of course I bring this up anytime I want something for the kids that they are too young for.
Answer:

Answer:
I have a shopping addiction and it is very similar.
Answer:
I do the same thing at times. Especially things on sale or if I have coupons. I think I have 7 tubes of toothpaste in a drawer in the bathroom right now. I won't have to purchase it again for about 2 years.
Answer:
I do the same thing. Iknow I learned this from my mom. We never run out of anything. Well once and my husband just looked at me and said " How could you forget we have a ton of stuff?" Hey no one is perfect.
