The answer is 56.

When my husband goes out of town for a few days? I get busy cleaning and organizing. It’s so much easier to do when my resident hoarder isn’t around saying “No… you can’t throw that out!”

First up was our utility (slash pantry slash I don’t know what to do with it so stick it in there) closet. I was merciless and got rid of a huge pile of worthless odds, ends and scraps. And buried under all that crap?

A whole lotta plastic wrap, tin foil and Ziploc baggies. When the next supply chain apocalypse arrives? We’re ready.

🤣

After that clean out I moved on to our walk in closet. This is always a nightmare because I can’t resist a bargain when it comes to clothes shopping at thrift stores. I rarely take time to try things on when I’m there because hey… when a pair of jeans costs $2 and doesn’t fit? Who cares.

Turns out our closet shelves cared because they were positively sagging under the weight.

Question- how many pairs of jeans and capris did I have to try on and sort?

Answer- 56.

.

.

Nine bags of assorted jeans, capris, blouses, sweaters, purses and shoes ready to give to charity.

There’s nothing like a good purge.

It’s good for the soul..

  3. So, the charity gets your $2 and they get the jeans back clean and folded. A good deal for them. Don’t feel bad about the pantry, we added a lot during covid and the supply chain days that followed.

  6. Believe it or not I used to be the hoarder in our relationship. When I lived in a sticks and bricks house I would never throw anything away. Three years living in an RV has totally turned me around and now it is the wife who is the hoarder. Last July she was visiting relatives for an extended period of time and I decided to do a “overhaul” on the RV. Now, hardly a couple of days goes by without me catching hell for the stuff I threw away.

  13. I’ll be breaking bad on my military industrial complex as soon as I finish up here. Good on you for clearing up your closet and your mind. I generally avoid goodwill contributions since the goodwill trucks showed up. Now that they’re gone, I’d as soon never see one again. My gaming geek friends are known to horse trade for miniatures, books, etc. I wear Levi’s until they wear out and there’s always room for a couple more cool shirts.
