I just bought a DVD I already own.

I guess Gaiam Pilates Abs and Gaiam Abs Pilates are the same. Who'd have thought, the names are so dissimilar.

I am such a dufus.

At least you have the transposed words as an excuse.

Right now I'm boxing up a cookbook to return to Amazon. DH wondered where to put the new one on the shelf and the obvious place was next to one that had the same title.... and cover. You know you have too many cookbooks when you order one you already have!

Peggy T · 10-03-11, 11:08 AM

Yes, I have a cookbook addiction, too. I just CANNOT resist a nice cookbook with yummy photos. No photos, then not so much....

hdw · 10-03-11, 11:46 AM

Yeah, you have a good excuse... the title is different! How about buying something EXACTLY the same cuz you had too many to noticed you already owned it?

I love cookbooks, too. I have cookbooks that are "best of" compilations of cookbooks I already own

When I get a new cookbook, I curl up with a cup of tea and read it like a novel.

I read through cookbooks, too! I thought I was the only one. I took out a bunch from library (including vegan cupcakes and cookies...figured I'd try vegan baking...why not

I had three individual Camilla Saulsbury cookbooks. When I found a cheap compilation of them used on Amazon, I sold all three individual ones on there, then bought more books, of course!

I'm thinking of getting a crockpot, so I checked out some crockpot recipe books too..

I had to go into a self-imposed rehab for that one.

I went cold turkey by keeping the 15 I use most and hauling everything I couldn't sell on Amazon to the library. I have to avoid the cook book area at BJ's or I'll relapse!

Hmmmm....I'm wondering if there's a relationship between cookbook addiction and exercise DVD addiction?

(Raising my hand for both!)

sherry7899 · 10-03-11, 03:26 PM

I'm in for both!! I'm a lot better than I used to be about buying cookbooks. I've been finding tons of recipes online and borrowing books from the library.

I think that we exercise a lot so we can eat all of the yummy recipes we make and not feel guilty!!!
