Clothes hoarding

You can't pass up a good bargain you find at a store that allows you to fill a paper bag full of clothes, and all you pay for all the clothes is 5 dollars! How can you not buy clothes at that price? So you shop around and find all the clothes you would wear or would "like to" wear (you know those goals you want to fit into a size 10 instead of size 16 or whatever the case may be) so you stock up on the motivating clothes that you absolutely love and also some that you can wear now and just in case you end up going in the opposite direction even a few larger sizes than you are in now. Wow! They have maternity clothes! You plan to have a baby some day, so you snatch up some of them too, along with baby clothes of both sexes just so you have 'em whenever you end up having the baby. Then you also find some clothes for your nieces and nephews thinking they are the size you are finding but later find out that you were off on sizes so you save those for your kids you someday will have. Boxing all the clothes you can't wear and the clothes you don't need yet, because you don't have the baby, you aren't even pregnant yet, wow! How crazy is this? But it's OK, you will someday be a size 10, you will get pregnant, will have a baby girl, and maybe even a boy later or visa versa.

Good thought, bad outcome.

  1. Me not so much but my sister as her kids were born loves a clearance rack...she has clothes in boxes for when the kids are 10 and thats not bad enough she keeps buying and instead of getting found out by her partner hides her hoarding at mums as well! It's safe to say we never see those in kids in the same clothes twice....this sort of hoarding is not saving money in the long run, I feel just making a person lie, when she has to explain where the money comes from for all these new clothes when they 'appear' in the wardrobe, would make me sure feel a tonne of guilt if it were me.
