This hasn't become a problem quite yet but it could become one. There are lots of places in my town where you can get free stuff. Like when I go for my depot injection there is a food pantry there and you can get a bag of groceries every time you go for depot. I don't see that part as a problem because it helps me save money but I must admit I don't eat the food that fast. So I just stock my shelves with it in case I need it. I mean I'm glad it's there though. I just get shy to ask for the pantry because it feels weird to get a bag of groceries for free I don't know why.
Now here is my biggest problem. Clothes. I don't need any more clothes. My room is full of clothes. But there is a free clothes place I can go, three days out of the week. Each time I go I can get 5 things. This has made me so happy. To get new clothes for free. It's like a rush I get when I get a bag of clothes. I swear it's the only thing that makes me happy. So far I've been doing good. I've been donating back the clothes I don't want any more. Just got rid of two bags though and my closet is still full. Don't want to get rid of anything that's the problem. Someone suggested selling things but I prefer giving them away for free. It's much easier that way.
I'm doing good keeping clutter down but since there is such an abundance of free stuff it is very risky to me to have these places. Because I like to get free stuff to be happy. On the flip side I've been really poor lately and can't afford to buy anything because of all the bills I have this month. Had to go to the dentist. Hardly any of it was covered. So I'm grateful there are places to get free stuff.
But it messes with my head. Today I saw a cute angel key chain and didn't take it because I had no pockets. For some reason never put it in my purse. So someone else got it and not me and that messes with my head. Tomorrow is my depot injection and I want to ask for the pantry but it feels weird to get free groceries from them so it messes with my head. Also if the pantry is empty when I get there that would mess with my head too. It's like it's good to have free stuff but it feels more ethical to just buy your own stuff.
Sorry just had to get this off my chest.
