View submission: I Stopped Buying Duplicates

My mom explains it as “let the store stock the extras” because you can get it from the store when you need it.

It’s helped me not buy (for example)5 shampoos just because I have a coupon.

Oh, I like that! Literally they are paid to maintain inventory, and I’m the one paying them to do so when I buy it—so why do I replicate their work for free?

My mom needs some sort of therapy to get over this mindset. “It was on sale and you had to buy 4!” No you didn’t!
