Gone Shopping?... Get Rid of Something!

Out with the old...
Let's say, hypothetically, you go to the mall, and buy 3 shirts, 3 pants, and 3 pairs of shoes. What do you do when you get home? If you're like most people you'll simply go into your bedroom and put them all away. Simple enough. But what if you did this every weekend? Sooner or later, your closets and dressers will be a big mess.
Here's a better idea.
If you buy 3 shirts, 3 pants, and 3 pairs of shoes... get rid of 3 shirts, 3 pants, and 3 pairs of shoes.
I have to admit it, this is one of those "Do as I say... not as I do" ideas because I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have a hard time getting rid of things, but I have deep respect for people with the discipline to do it.
I can't tell you how often I've struggled with this problem, but I'm trying.
Keep in mind, this philosophy goes way beyond clothing. Any time you bring something new into your life... why not get rid of something?
Of course, it's possible to take this too literally, as Sheldon Cooper did. When he made a new friend at work, he had to get rid of one.
