In our commercialized society, shopping has become so much more than just purchasing the things we need to survive. For many of us, it’s a means of entertainment, and the “thrill of the hunt” keeps us coming back for more. While it’s certainly okay to enjoy shopping, it’s also easy for some shopping behaviors and habits to lead to a cluttered home.

Ultimately, mindless shopping leads to filling our homes with things we don’t actually need, or things that don’t function as well as we want them to. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, mindful shopping can put us on the path to living in a home environment that we truly enjoy.
