As the holiday shopping season shifts into high gear, marketers use every trick they know to get us to buy, buy, buy. But we can resist the noise and pressure to overspend and add to clutter if we practice thoughtful, conscientious shopping habits. In episode #283 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines the perils of shopping in the holiday season and suggests strategies for sticking to our lists and our budgets.
