Is there a 12 step?

For anyone who knows me, even a little bit, you know I am addicted to "The Deal." I buy stuff in coops, I RUN coops, I stalk mamabargains.com and woot.com.

I buy used, I buy in bulk, I stock up. For example, I have 15 boxes of organic mac and cheese in my pantry right now. Why? Because it was 55Cents a box that's why!

Does all this save me any money?

I was wondering this today when an item I don't need, didn't want until I saw it and can't afford popped up on mamasbargains.com. A mini purse set that matches my diaper bag that I purchased at mamabargins a few weeks ago. Now the way the web site works is they offer one deal at a time and when it is gone it is gone! My knee-jerk reaction...buy it!
Here is an approximation of what went through my head:

It matches the diaper bag! Must. Have. It.

I don't need it. (but I could use it as a wet bag!!)

I have two wet bags that is plenty! (but I have a new baby, I might need more space)

My two wet bags hold 12 dirty diapers between them!!! (Laurelle would love to have one!)

She has more purses than you do! (its only 22 bucks!)

That you don't have to spend on just anything!

In the end, I talked myself out of buying it! Brice and I are working very hard to get ourselves out of the small amount of debt we have from buying a new fridge last year and fixing up the outside of the house. So, we are being a frugal as possible!

Now if I can just get my yarn and fabric addictions under control...but that is for another day!
