The only things I hoard are scrap metal, aluminum, and newspapers. Once we have a ton of it, we take them in to recycle for money.

We sure do. Enough to fill our cars for a few weeks so our paychecks all go toward bills.

I think its more a question of what do I NOT hoard? My dad was always one for keeping odd bits of wire, jamjars, screws, washers ... I called him Uncle Bulgaria ' making good use of the things that he finds - things that the everyday folk leave behind..' (Wombles for anyone who doesn't know) I think I've inherited that hoarding gene!

I don't consider myself to hoard anything...but then again I do own stacks and stacks of books.
We home school, so I collect all I can when I can....especially if they are free.
Once the kids, or myself read the books though, they mostly get priced and put in to a box for yard sale or listed on ebay for sale.
My mom hoards a lot of things...empty jars, newspapers, you name it!

That's me. I end up keeping a lot of stuff. Even when I don't really need it or want it in the first place. I am that way with office supplies too. I end up getting more than I need at the time. But in the long run I did a good thing because I'll never be out of pens and stuff. That's the worse feeling too, having to search the house for one pen or pencil just to write something down really quick. And of course you can never really find one.

I hoard colognes and tissues. He he. I always feel like they're the things I run the most out of so I try to buy them in 2s or 3s so it will last for a month.

I hoard money. When something happens to my husband and I that knocks down our finances, I almost always have a little extra saved up to cover the problem, and get us back on our feet a little faster.

I used to hoard paper when I was a kid but then again I really liked to write and create so I needed paper. Now I tend to hoard lotions and shower products. That or candles and incense. I can never have enough candles or incense.

Hoarder? No. but I do like having more than one of things. If I go to the dollar store and I find something like a notepad that I like, I always get two. One to use and one for a backup.
