If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used?I used to purchase items from thrift stores for resale. I haven’t been to one in over 5 years. I still have a lot off stuff cluttering my house that I didn’t sell!
Now I carefully research items that I need and will go to eBay first to get new items at a discount.
If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling.I wish. I am chipping away at my accumulation now.
How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain?Hardly ever
What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean?For 30 years I didn’t have a dishwasher
When we moved 4 years ago we finally got one. It is life changing!
We put the dirty dishes in there immediately and put the clean dishes away while it is still warm. We also keep the countertops wiped down. Everything else is a mess 😂
