Need to stop buying gear I don't need

My garage is full of stuff I used once or never even opened. Every time there's a sale I convince myself I need it. This ends now. Well, probably not, but I'll try. What bad habit do you keep repeating that you want to break?

I resemble that remark. But it's all gun stuff. And I may use some of all of it (reloading components etc.) at some points. And it doesn't spoil or expire. So at least there's that.

Just having that discussion with a buddy this past weekend. Buying items on sale and giving them to friends and family that probably didn't need them either

I just cleaned up my shop, with lots of help from my SIL, great grandson, and my wife. Of course I found some unused stuff, but mostly it was redundant stuff or stuff that I will never use again. At any rate, I won’t be buying any more shop stuff ! My youngest son was the recipient of a nice set of Craftsman hand tools, from back when the name meant quality, so not all was for naught. Having a shop, plus two trucks meant I had tools in all, so I won’t miss them especially at my age. I purged some guns a few years ago, but I’m weak when it comes to single action revolvers.
