I've loosely had that going in our garage, but I think I'll tighten it up this year. I've totally bought and re-bought items for the holdiays because I forget I had them. Happens with gift wrap, too. Thanks for leading me to think in that way! @Gayle: I hadn't thought about it, but I often find my tape, Sharpies, etc, in our garage, my husband's domain! I guess he might be part of the issue, too. Thanks for the feedback!

He's always losing scissors, pens and whatnot and depleting my supplies. Since we live in cramp quarters, I'lll need to find the right drawer/drawers for supply central. Thanks for the great ideas.

I am going to apply this concept to Christmas. I bought a bunch of things that I thought would be great for this Christmas at after sales last year. However, this year I am not so keen on my purchases. I don't think I am going to preshop any more. This is a great idea. I am going to apply this concept to Christmas.
