| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | Out of ecological concerns, I buy second hand as much as I can (instead of new). Mostly crockery to replace my broken ones, clothes to change my wardrobe or for specific occasions (dress, bag etc to attend a wedding, etc. The only things I would not buy second hand would be a mattress or pillows. |
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | No, I have not, but I have only experienced a major decluttering for my mother, so it was not my stuff or my space. Instead there was a dread that she would accumulate again. |
