Yes, that is what convinced me that I might have a problem. Also, several times in the last month or so books have gone on sale that I bought a year or two ago at twice the price, but have not yet read. Hoarding is not economically efficient.
On freebies: I'm now with issybird. I used to think freebies diverted the purchasing temptation. But, for me, they feed it, or maybe just the search for the freebies feeds it. I'll pick up some of the Open Road freebies offered daily to replace poorly edited classics, but that's it now. Obviously, others are not triggered by the joy of free books.
