Instruction Manuals – Did you know most instruction manuals can be found on line? Toss them to save on space, plus it’s probably quicker to find them on line than searching through all your manuals.Įxpired Medications – Over the counter medications and prescriptions need to be disposed of properly. Now is a great time to go through it.ĭuplicate Kitchen Utensils – Do you need 4 whisks, 5 ladles, or 3 ice cream scoops? Probably not! It’s time to toss them or donate them to someone who needs them. Store food with the most current expiration dates in front so it will be used first.Ĭords You don’t Use – Toss cords for phones you no longer have, old computer cords, old appliance or tool cords, and frayed or kinked cords. Or better yet, before you even go shopping. You can keep a couple to make sock puppets or dust cloths if you like.Įxpired Food – Check the expiration date on food in the pantry and refrigerator while you’re putting groceries away. Socks with Holes or no Mate – Quickly go through the socks and toss any with holes or no mate. Toss them to make room for things you really need. Old Product Boxes – You don’t need old computer, tablet, phone and small appliance boxes once they’re past the point of being able to be returned. Also toss lids that don’t have a container. For some reason a few disappear every year. It might take a couple months before they stop.Ĭontainers with Lost Lids – Toss containers without matching lids. Stop unwanted subscriptions from coming to your home by canceling them. Toss or recycle newspapers, catalogs and phone books. Old Magazines and Catalogs – Donate magazines to hospitals or doctors offices. You can tell clothing stores you don’t want the hangers before they place the clothing in the bag to no longer bring unwanted hangers home. Skip over the items you’ve already decluttered or take a quick look and make sure they haven’t gotten out of hand again.ĭry Cleaner and Store Hangers – Grab 2 bags, one for store hangers and one for dry cleaner hangers then return the hangers to the appropriate places the next time you run errands. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how much space you have freed up in your home and how less clutter makes it feel more peaceful.ĭisclaimer: I’ve shared several of these things in previous posts.
