Stockpiling or Hoarding?

I've barely tipped the iceberg of "stockpiling"... but aspire to be much better. Some people have joked with me in the past about being obsessive or hoarding. Someone alert me if the things I stock up on when cheap or free start going to waste. I feel like I've thrown more "full price" junk out than I ever have in the things I stockpile. I'm not bargain shopping to overbuy. If my pantry is full, I am not going to buy more canned foods or peanut butter. I don't buy more toilet paper than what fits under the bathroom sinks. I have a shelf in my laundry room that I keep cleaning supplies on. While I like to have it full of detergent and other things, if it's full, I don't need more even if it's cheap. It will be cheap or free again. I don't have 50 bottles of shampoo and conditioner in a closet, but I have enough to never have to pay full price. This is what works for me. I love this post on The Krazy Coupon Lady's blog about the difference between the two. Click here to read more!
