I did break the freebie habit. There’s nothing I want that’s going to be free (unless it’s free already, as in public domain) and I don’t see freebies anyway. I also agree that the price is irrelevant in terms of what you’ve already got; it’s more a case of avoiding more clutter down the line.

So I think we’re all in accord!
