Not Buying It

…But living well

Respite

CVS is indeed a great place.

But over the past few months I’ve managed to amass more toothpaste, toothbrushes and mouthwash than I have teeth. Therefore, I’ve been asking myself some hard questions on the nature of my shopping. Yes, these bags of goodies I heft from the store every week contain everyday items. Useful items. But they are also multiplying like gerbils in my bathroom. Given the current state of affairs, I will be brushing my teeth from now into next winter with nary a concern about depleting my dental hygiene stock.

Let’s face it: This stockpiling is starting to conflict with my endless battle against clutter. I think it’s time for a break.

Note that I won’t discontinue shopping at CVS, especially for other items (eg. hair care, etc.) that come with ECB’s. But every week? Nah.
