How often have you purchased an item, not realizing you already own it?

 

​

How often have you purchased items just because it was on sale or you had a coupon or maybe both? Was it really a bargain or something that's now taking up space in your home?

During decluttering sessions, I like to focus on the future and how you can continue to save money by saying "no" to things coming into your home. Put yourself on a "Need diet," meaning spend an entire month only purchasing things you need. You'll be amazed at not only how much money you save, but also on the space you save in your home.
