For me, part of it has been realizing the actual cognitive reasons behind sales tactics (I was a sucker for buying wine at wine tastings up until a couple of years ago thanks to the reciprocation principle of sales), but part of it is realizing "I just don't need this."
You can't realize you don't need it, or won't use it, until you've bought something like it in the past, or as you say, you run out of room and think "do I really need something else here taking up space?"
The paradox is that I am now buying less as my income increases. The good thing is it puts me in a better position to buy a house, start a family, etc.
