My problem is hiding my goodies and then remembering where I placed them! Enjoy getting organized and keep up the good work!

I also can feel less pressure money wise for some reason. How about even just hitting one store and doing as much as you can there. I will do that sometimes. I just do not like shopping either. I used too....but not as much now. I would rather do other thngs! My older daugther likes to go to a very upscale shopping area. I have to force myself to go window shopping there. I love to be with her but all those highly overpriced stores are just crazy and very unsettling to my common sense of thrift! Good luck....one day at a time.

This is a big shift for me, I think seeing all the gifts people have given me that I hang onto out of guilt, plus being frugal has made the switch for me. Of course if my kids were still young, I would probably be buying stuff.
