In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle dives into the topic of buying multiples of the same item.

Key Takeaways:

Mindful Buying:

Assess if buying multiples is truly necessary or just an impulse.
Consider the storage space and the hassle of managing extra items.

Quality Over Quantity:

Ensure the quality of items before buying in bulk.
Avoid buying multiples just because they are on sale if they won’t be used frequently.

Personal Peace:

The value of a decluttered space often outweighs the savings from buying in bulk.
Maintain peace of mind by buying only what you need and can manage.

Special Circumstances:

If an item is essential and hard to come by, buying extra can be justified.
Ensure you have a system in place to store and use these items efficiently.
