Home Organization Hiccups-What’s Your Trigger?
Organized Pantry
I’ve noticed there are certain items people seem to want to stockpile, almost a trigger of sorts that make them buy more than they need. I don’t have a clutter problem, but I’ve realized that I actually do the same thing. Not to stereotype, but I’ve noticed that my Italian friends seem to have comfort in having a well-stocked pantry. I, on the other hand, tend to only buy the ingredients that I need each month for meals. One time a good friend, who is normally well-stocked, asked me for red enchilada sauce. What?! Now why would I have that? It wasn’t part of my menu plan!
As for myself, I tend to find comfort in having plenty of personal care products such as shaving cream, razors, shampoo and conditioner. I think back to when I was in my late teens and my grandmother would give me a few dollars to buy things I needed for myself. It was then that I would buy my own beauty products, maybe there’s a connection….

I’ve noticed with some clients it’s books. Books = knowledge. Now, I don’t actually think it’s bad to stock up on things as long as:
You have the space to accommodate it.
Items are not displacing anything else.
You don’t keep more than you can possibly use, thus creating waste.
What’s your trigger? I would love to hear from you in the comment section letting me know what you tend to stockpile!
