I have only been digi scrapping for about a year, but I only have a couple kits that I haven't used. I try to use the majority of them before I buy more.

I don't even bother having an 'unused' folder. It helps me avoid shopper's remorse for the kits that go unused. LOL!

No..not ever, especially since I try to use everything twice. I still have about 10 kits I bought on NSD in my "to scrap" folder.

These days the most I ever have in my "to scrap" folder is 1-2 kits or element packs. However, I don't shop... like ever, so all of my kits are CT ones... makes it a lot easier! LOL

I have so much kits that I have not used... I could go a year without buying anything, I'm certain...

well when I was able to shop I probably always had kits I could use but since I have not shopped in quite awhile I dont think there is much I have not used and alot of the kits I have Ive used three or four times.

My to-be-used folder is larger than used and photos together!! In fact many times I know I purchased a kit... found the receipt to verify that I did buy it... but never to find it! Must have been deleted... that annoys me!

Well, I've gotten my SSD kits down to zero unused a couple of times. As far as my entire stash, umm, nope.

I don't think I will ever get down to 0, but I dont delete kits I bought that are unused. That would make me feel guilty as all get out.

Since I mostly just shop here, I pretty much use as I go. I think at any one time I maybe have 3-4 kits that are unused but the majority are used within a week or so.

Ha ha ha! Never. But just about everything I buy gets used eventually. It's only grab bag stuff, freebies, and $1 deals that I sometimes regret buying and delete unused.

Ummm... no way.

Right now I have 39 items in my "To Use" folder - these are products I've purchased and haven't used yet... and 62 in my "To Use Again" folder - these are products I've used once and need to use again before filing them away, organized by designer.

I delete stuff pretty regularly, but NEVER delete anything that I've purchased unless it's been used at least twice and I'm sure I won't be using it again.

I try to keep it under 10 or so unused kits and if it is still there in 6-8 months I pull out the pieces I think I may use and delete the rest. I don't like to have too much unsed & not going to be used stuff on my hard drive

No. I never delete stuff though. Even bad quality stuff. It might be because I'm less than a year into this hobby and I found my comfort zone fairly quickly without too much experimentation.

nope and in fact I've been so scare with scrapping lately that I think I'm up over a 100 unused kits!!!!! But I've also not been buying lately either (it's probably been 2 -3 months) so they are "old" unused kit and I bet I will end up deleting a few when I get back to full time scrapping mode!!!

I picked the "who cares" one, lol...not because that's really my attitude but it suited me the most, I guess. I'm a collector, lol...a hoarder. I'm OK with that. I will never get my unused kits to 0 because I probably have 500+, lol. But I never delete stuff (though my EHD is getting full so I'm thinking of going through and getting rid of the absolute CRAP I downloaded when I started 5 years ago).

You sound like me. I deleted a few MB kits from when she first started and I was like "Oh but they were my first ones, maybe I should keep them for sentimental reasons" and then I finally deleted them. Compared to today's kits the old stuff is just hilarious!! But unfortunately there are a ton of stuff there that I'm still holding onto just in case! I'm still trying to convince DH that I need another EHD, but then I'd probably fill that up too!
