I enjoyed looking through it, reading it, looking at the pictures some more (it was a craft book), showing hubby some of the amazing projects in it. Now I can return the book and take it off my wish list. Putting a book on my Amazon wish list helps me recognize books that I want to read when I see them in the library or yard sale.

I also look at alternative ways to acquire the item permanently or temporarily. If it is a new book the library might have it or get it. If it is old (or even new) music I still love to this day I can usually just YouTube it and avoid clutter. Or maybe I’ll see if anyone one else has it and borrow it. I also find that I only put effort into finding an alternative if I really want it.
