Trying to resist Amazon Prime Day

11 July 2022

I love a bargain, but I hate false urgency more. I end up buying things that I regret later, which wastes money and makes me feel bad. That’s why I try to avoid outlet stores. And that’s why I’m going to try hard to avoid perusing the Amazon Prime sales tomorrow and Wednesday.

A huge source of clutter in people’s homes (including mine) is so-called bargains. It’s hard to resist a good deal on something, even when I don’t really need it or have a good place to store it. Here’s the thing: The more stuff we have in our homes that we don’t use or love, the harder it is to put away and find those things we do use or love.

Will you join me in resisting unnecessary purchases on Amazon Prime Day? If you do have legitimate needs, by all means go ahead and get a deal on them. But if there’s nothing you’re really in need of, I urge you to step away from scrolling through the deals. Why tempt yourself unnecessarily?
