Is it possible for you to not carry your credit cards with you? Then if you see something in a store or online you won't have the means to buy it immediately. Maybe it will give you some time to think about whether or not you really NEED to make the purchase. Or are you the type that would just get your credit card and go back to the site to make the purchase?

If you want to start saving for a bigger house with a yard, maybe put so much money aside every month in a savings for that and the rest of your money can be for shopping. I'm not cheap and I pretty much buy whatever I want but I don't spend above my means and I make sure that I put money in a savings account every month so when I buy a house I will have money for that.

RE: the overflowing refrigerator/freezer--are you Italian? I'm 100% Italian so I was raised having an over abundance of food in the house. There's always enough food to feed an army. I am like that and everyone from my family is like that. My mom still cooks like she's feeding 20 people and she's really just cooking for her and my dad! Crazy! I think it's an Italian thing.
