Did a quick sweep and happy to report not much clutter crept in over the last month. Only things to go were an alarm clock, a broken TV remote, and 5 holey socks.

Will be posting some things on Buy Nothing group: Apple HomePod Mini and some smart plugs. Siri stinks and so I switched to Alexa. A couple of purses. Some canned goods that are a few months past best by date. Can't donate them to food pantry, but people will take them on Buy Nothing group.
Pulled out Merrell leather winter boots I've hardly worn. A heavy winter jacket that was too warm for me. Laptop stand, some travel pouches (for toiletries and the like), a few purses, some books.
For some reason, I have held on to a pair of never worn work/dress shoes that I probably bought 15 years ago. They are going into the give away box. I know a move is in our future so I am eyeballing all sorts of things I don't want to carry forward to another dwelling. It's funny but the older I get, the less attached I am to physical objects of any sort so it gets easier to let things go.
Yes, totally agreed on easier to let stuff go as I've gotten older!Originally Posted by pinkytoe
pinkytoe and tradd - totally agree about letting go of more as I age. I'm actually in the middle of testing out a "down-sizing swap" of my desk. Should be interesting and a huge test of what I can get rid of from these desk drawers.

I cleaned the kitchen yesterday, and got rid of several things that were never going to get eaten for whatever reason: old nuts, healthy snacks we didn't like, etc. It's funny how the unhealthy snacks never go to waste, lol. We just can't seem to get food right, and we waste an awful lot of it, but at least we aren't now housing a bunch of dusty, half-eaten packets of things we don't like. I guess this is also the downside of trying new things, sometimes we just don't like them.
We waste very very little because we have a dog. Just the other day I bought “chicken sausage “which DH can eat, but then we read that it has pork sausage casing. Well, that’s not good for him.
so I can eat it, but it’s high calorie and full of more additives and fat than I wish to consume, so our dog will get much of it, and he will be thrilled. He does love his “Chimkin.”
rosa, your cats are useless in this regard.
If you want to feed leftovers to cats, grind them up with rice and tuna oil in a blender.
Yes, the tuna oil might be the deal maker, but I can see my ungrateful little beasts turning up their noses at this after I go to the trouble of grinding up stuff for them.
we have had to resort to buying milk exclusively and for one cat. With Alpha-Gal allergy, DH can no longer drink milk and I would use his milk substitutes, but our cat insists on a nightly milk drink and won’t touch the substitutes.
on the other hand my little orange cat loves her pasta noodles. Whenever we have pasta, we always have to put out two noodles for her.
