Yes, I keep everything. My husband is not like that so he hate it when I keep the little things too.

No, I'm not a pack rat, actually, I'm quite the opposite. I don't like clutter, so I don't tend to hold on to much. If something isn't being used or doesn't have sentimental value, then I want it gone. The bad part of this is, sometimes I get rid of things too fast, then later want it or need it and wish I still had it, but it's too late.

I am not, but my husband is big time. He gets it from his grandma.

I hate this pack rat but my wife likes it. There must be thousands of items in these packs. I had a friend, who shared my thoughts used to sell the good clothes. When I asked why, he said you need varieties, So sell this in auction and buy another new one.

Gosh we save everything, everyone in my house is a packrat.I secretly have to throw junk away.My youngest draws a million things a day and think they are all masterpieces, my husband saves the food section in newspaper, I could go on, but too depressing.

No, I am not, but my husband is. And recently, one of my cats are stealing my clothes and hiding them, packing all kinds of goodies aside??????????
