Drinking out of my new mug

Through the years I bought TOO many adorable things that I did not really need. I would like to scale down and now I need to call the charity and give away a lot of what I bought.

I don´t usually buy extra things. But I discovered that I preferred to buy a cake once in a while instead of fruits to serve at dessert time.

I definitely would be tempted to get a mug (or two). I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff too

Adorable things. I am waiting for the faux Tiffany lamp shade to arrive. When it does I will contact the adorable fix it guy. He loves me cause he gets cash from me. My bedroom will look nicer once the bare light bulb is covered.

I am trying to downsize more, so I rarely buy any kitchen things--I am well supplied in that. I have a huge collection of FiestaWare dishes of varied colors, that were my grandmother's. I use them all the time, they are great. I have plenty of regular very nice glassware, and due to the fact I raised a big pack of kids, I have a huge amount of everyday flatware that all match (miracles happen!) and they are excellent quality, so they will never wear out. I do have some really huge pots for canning things and for freezer prep, and I have way, way too many mugs! When I was a young bride, I decided fairly early that I would be ''different'' and collect coffee mugs from our vacations, unusual destinations, etc. They were not that popular then. I religiously collected one from every trip, etc. for years. When I moved the last time, I knew my time of reckoning had come and a LOT of the mugs just had to go. There were over 200 of them...and it was completely ridiculous. I ended up getting it down to 30. I kept some from different countries, Switzerland, Holland, Germany, etc. and different places in the US that brought back some wonderful memories. Of course, now I have some mugs with grandchildren's faces on them (I get 2 new ones every year! ) they are just adorable but then again...more mugs! The collection grows without me making a purchase of a mug, ever. Come on over--I will give you a mug! Or two, or...

Oh, I love that "needed like a hole in the head" idiom! First time I hear it. I started to declutter and get rid of things I don't need, so that isn't going to happen anytime soon. Yet I feel you, I'm not sure if there's such a thing as too many mugs. I need one for coffee, one for tea, one for water even. I can find as many excuses as you need.

No or only rarely. I saw a mug about this time last year, and bought it with one person in mind, then we had a gift exchange and it was the perfect thing for the person I drew.

I am stuck with this mug for years now. I have four of them and I use all four during the day

sometimes yes. if it makes me happy, why not?

I used to but now that I cannot really get anywhere I try to restraint myself if I see something cute online,

I don't do that too often now. After such a purge of household things when we moved, I'm not keen on filling the cupboards any more than they are.

I think the dinnerware and glasses and mugs sold at the Dollar Tree are just as good as ones sold at bigger retailers. I have been gifted a couple of coffee mugs from there on a couple of occasions. They are the two that I use the most. The last thing I bought from there that I really didn't need was some dish towels.

No. If I would have an income I would buy adorable things.

It has been some time since I bought anything adorable or fancy. This is because of the debt challenges I have. I am working hard to reduce my current debt levels. So every money earned or saved is to meet the expenses and cut down the debts. I would like to be debt free at earliest . So that's my focus for now. I liked your choice of things. We should buy what we like in life and be happy. Thats what makes us happy and live. The mug seem to be fantastic and I agree at times we tend to think of excuses to buy what we desire. Well, enjoy your tea time with your mug. Enjoy the day.

I haven’t lately, but I’m sure I used to when I shopped in person more often. By the way, I was REALLY excited for the Commanders last night.

I have a "decorative kitchen towel" that I bought at Dollar Tree. When things still cost a dollar. My joke with Horse Jr. was "That's my decorative kitchen towel. Don't use it!" I love chickens. Maybe I was Filipino in a different life.

I am just waiting for my mom to use her old crockery hoarding!! Ugh! From 10+ years! Ugh!

Not anymore. I buy mostly necessities. I am trying to downsize in case we should have to move into assisted living or something like that. Have a good day.

I'm very worried about money , the most part of my spents I buy useful things but I understand you
