STOVE.

Bag hoarders, do you neatly fold your bags? DDiL taught me a to fold flat, fold in half and then fold again, and when you have a bag that is as wide as handle , fold, handle to bottom of bag and then once again and store in empty coffee cans.Very neat, and compact.

I found TARGET bags are the best for cat litter, those go close to litter box, the rest regular little trash cans.-tedEbear

I am president of TP Hoarders Anonymous.

I have way too much wool yardage for my rug-hooking hobby that I no longer do, but I can't bear to part with all of the rug-making "stuff" just in case I start up again. Of course, I keep it in the guest bedroom, instead of guests, which is a good thing😄

I have enough tops to last me the rest of my life but I doubt I'll stop buying more.

Workout T shirts.

I go to the gym 4 days a week and garden another day or two.

So I need 5-6 t-shirts, right?

Every time I'm in Target I see a new color or print that I just have to get - and they are usually on sale for $5-$8 each. I donate to charity once a year and I'm embarassed to admit I must have 10-12 T shirts each time.

MERCY - I know the feeling about those T shirts. I would purchase the short sleeve for summertime wear and long sleeve for the winter.

EACH YEAR I WOULD BUY 5-8 new t-shirts - summer and winter. I must have accumulated 60 shirts. I had to get rid of them. I stored them away in plastic bins only after the season only to re-discover a bonanza when we last moved.

NOW I do not even coast anywhere NEAR any of those tables.

... remember those beautiful Cardi's - had a stack of those too - along with the matching shell. Twin-set city !

Ok, here's one out of left field . . . I have waaaaaay to much frozen protein in my freezer to the point that I have completely banned myself from buying any until I unlodge that frozen tundra of a freezer of mine . . . it's mind boggling what I have hoarded but I am making progress.

And to my toilet paper hoarding sisters . . . I am with you. If I drop below nine rolls I break out into a cold sweat . . .
I'm with you on the tp. I hate running out of basics and then having to make that store run. I buy the huge boxes at Sam's and I always have an entire box stored away. I also have a big pack from Costco, but our plumber said to never use Cottonelle, Northern, Charmin or Costco. If pressed, it's there.
What did your plumber say to use????

EX-HUSBAND said Scott's - I still buy the 'fancy' Scott toliet paper in the individual wrapping paper - 20 rolls at a time.

Oh I just thought of another one . . . plastic shopping bags from the grocery store.

As it's just me and I don't generate a lot of garbage I use store grocery bags in my garbage cans. It works out well as I am recycling bags and don't have to pay for garbage bags but this is where it gets obsessive.

To be honest, I usually use cloth bags when I go shopping but there are a couple of stores around here that have really great plastic bags and fit well in my garbage cans and I have hoarded more of their bags than I care to admit. I actually have a pecking order in terms of what bags are good, better, best. How sad is that? . . . good heavens I really need to speak with someone about this . . . sigh.

@momtochloeI use them too for the bath garbage can.

Please don't use bags cloth/plastic for food. The bags have been shown to carry viruses including strep.

Just for fun. What do you have "way too many" of? I'll go first-LOL.

For me, it's throws, nightgowns/nightshirts and socks. WAY too many of each. I'm going to thin the herd today on the nightgowns and socks, but the throws will stay.

Anyone else?

shoes

boots

jackets

coats

handbags

lululemon items in general

jeans

lipsticks

eyeshadow palettes--especially neutral ones

It is not QVC related, but, like a lot of knitters, I have too many skeins of yarn. Time to donate some to a local church group that does some charity knitting. In my defense, I did get a lot of them at much reduced prices at two knitting stores that were going out of business. Or at least that is my excuse.
