Yep! It really is overconsumption. For my kids they only got new bedding if they had a difference size bed in their dorm or apartment. As for other stuff, we bought what they needed or brought it from home (if it was something we had at home). At both their schools they did have a donation thing where you can drop off items that aren’t needed. The only thing that I let my kids know is that for some dorm/apartment stuff, I’m not going to keep buying them the same thing year after year if they keep throwing it away or donating it.
