I agree compretery. I, however, am always relaxed. I jump on the deals when I don't need them, because I never lose money on them. Even if I figure out that I"ll never need something, I bought it so far under value that I can recoup my costs and then some.

Later, I'll go buy more of something else, and feel good having done it.

It just turns out that when I do need something, I usually don't have to stress too much, because I already have it. It helps to be resourceful, though.

Shopping is my coping skill. I just do it in a different way.
