I love that you start with, "This is where they are doing X" so you organize there, rather than moving it where YOU think it should be. This seems like an obvious way to help people stay organized since it doesn't require as much effort for them, but I don't see that with other organizing pros.
Same. Every single drawer closet cabinet is stuffed to the hilt but Everything else looks great until you get to the garage or open anything. Thank you for this
I tend to forget I already bought something because I am avoiding the pit of stress that looms when I think about looking in my cluttered, disorganized cupboards. Thank you for this one. I really needed it!
You need someone you trust and aren't ashamed to share your burden!! Sometimes just a different perspective could help tremendously. Keeping it going afterwards is the trick!!
My whole home looks like Kelly’s closet. (I’m a bee, have ADHD and depression, and got through the pandemic mainly by shopping online. Nuff said.) Currently working my way through it, and my kitchen/pantry area is by far the most chaotic. Hugs to Kelly for sharing her home with us. It really helped me, so thank you both.
Beautiful job on organizing her entire kitchen! It broke my heart seeing all that food being thrown away. 😢 Learning to shift away from scarcity mind set was one thing I struggled with as well. Limiting myself to a 80% filled pantry has helped.
@@gajateariane8488 My heart feels the same, but my mind says, this once feel the pain and remember not to do it again. Living on "One Day Isle" will never get the job done.
I love it when you help people in their own homes! It’s so relatable. The entertaining section, snack section, pantry, and drop zone were all brilliant solutions.
Our "Harry Potter" room is the spare bedroom. Everything gets shoved in there especially when we're having people over. We are on the journey to minimalism so we are having less & less stuff to shove. Great video. I admire her for being brave to show all her hidden stuff.
My "Harry Potter" room is the guest bedroom as well. I keep stuff that's on its way to donation, empty boxes to fill with donations, other seasonal decor... just too much!! I'm on a journey to owning less, but I'm a ladybug as well. That hiding away clutter instinct is so very strong!!!
Me too. That kitchen is a dream. Lots of beautiful cabinets, a big island, real granite countertops, an actual pantry! Even the flooring is perfect. I would happy-dance every day lol. Trying to be inspired by the decluttering & organizing, but I just keep admiring the kitchen.
These are my favorite kind of videos. please keep them coming. I'm glad she gave herself permission to toss the old food. I usually beat myself up with food that I have let go to waste. I hope she is able to keep the new space up. Less is definitely more ❤
When I first pulled everything out to declutter I found 9 boxes of Brillo pads and 21 boxes of baking soda between the kitchen, bathroom and laundry. These are things I could never remember having while shopping so I would always buy more.
Thanks for the video. My problem area is that Never ending pile of paperwork that needs to be shredded or filed that never seems to be Completely sorted through
I have two places in our home that need decluttering, removal of boxes,(mostly empty ones) and some dead appliances. The garage and living/dining area. I have tackled a few drawers in the kitchen. Then, a few days before Christmas I removed our bins for baking from the cabinets. I made a big mess while I threw out a few expired items, and put the cupcake stuff into a large dish tub. Then had to put it into the pantry. Now all our cookie and cake mix boxes are lined up on one shelf in cupboard. It is a beautiful thing to see. We are so blessed. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Cass.
Props to Kelly for sharing her journey! Now she can enjoy her kitchen and cook for her family stress free. My biggest struggle is paper clutter. I pile it in my room. I’m working on decluttering the paper and I have a filing system that will work for me. The challenge is to not fall back I to bad habits once I finish the process of letting go and organizing it!
I was the same. Between papers and books, I was drowning in the stuff. I did an extreme declutter, getting rid entirely of papers that were only there because I might want to look at these again someday. Then I decided, of the important papers, which ones actually needed to be kept as paper and which could be scanned and then tossed/shredded. my three big filing cabinets are now one small fireproof filing box. And it has room to spare. As for books, went with digital for most of the keepers, too. Your mileage may vary. We did an extreme downsizing because we went from about 3000 square feet to about 600 square feet, and moved more than 1000 miles away. Our little apartment is calm, organized, and has plenty of breathing room in all the closets and cupboards. I'm so glad we downsized this much.
Amazing transformation Cass, and so brave of her to open her closed doors for all to see! All this organizing made me think of how I wish designers would build more "batwing" pantries into homes. They're really the most usable and efficient way to store things and there's no wasted space between the shelves and the door as in traditional closet-type pantries. Everything is easy to get to and the shelves are shallow so nothing gets shoved behind anything else. They need to throw out the old ways and make things better for all of us! 😀
Shallow shelves really are fantastic. I miss the pantry in my old house. It was a walk-in pantry that had loads of shelves that were only about the length of say a box of cereal or whatever but not so deep you end up with layers and layers of who-knows-what. Organising was SO easy in there.
Amazing kitchen! Such great space was being misused. The makeover was wonderful. I would like to see a makeover of an old tiny kitchen like most of us apartment dwellers have.
My worst is my bedroom. I had to move in with my son, into a bedroom less than half the size of my previous one. My bathroom here has no grab bars in the shower and the tub bottom is raised for bathing kids? Everytime I step out, I come close to falling. I can't even reach my closet.
@@karenlebeter4196 I hope your son will install some grab bars for you and maybe get a moveable non-slip step. In my opinion, no bathroom should be built or remodeled without safety grab bars.
Inspiring to see how something can go from chaos and confusion to beautiful and very well defined. We all have areas that need improvement , I have an entire room, that is a catch all, We call it the Healing Arts room because our vision for it is so different from how it is now.
Great job working with her Cass! I would love to see a follow-up with her in six months to see how she is doing. What a huge change for her and I hope she can feel good about herself and her home! xoxo Steph
Thank you so much for showing all the before and afters of the kitchen!! That to me is the most helpful part of any decluttering video. You made her kitchen such a beautiful space, inside and outside. Haha. I am a lady bug but have accepted minimalism and it has helped me immensely. Love your channel!
My problem area is my desk. I constantly reorganize. And it's still a mess. I'm visual.... PS : LOVE the stacking with lids trick for Tupperwares. Works wonders.
Check out Cass' video on the 4 different organizing styles. She even has a quiz you can take if you need help finding out what your organizing style is. I took the quiz and I'm a Butterfly
I would love to see what you suggest for small kitchens without a pantry for a large family. We are a family of 6, no pantry and plenty of stuff...ugh!
My family of 5 lives in a 600sqft. apartment. I have storage along the perimeter of my entire place. There is a place for everything. People don't come over. I picked up most of the storage off Craigslist.
Bibbity Bobbity boo! Cas, you’re pure magic! I’ve been struggling again lately - you and Kelly inspire me! Thank you Kelly. (PS: I’m a Kelly too - Kelly means ‘strength’ - thank you for being strong and sharing with us all! You are awesome!) Yay! It’s all so beautiful!
That was one amazing and satisfying transformation! Kelly seems like such a lovely and gentle person. So glad you were able to perform your magic for her.
There is good and bad to storage spaces. Dawn from Minimal Mom said that “Things that hold things will hold things”. But, you have a big container to hold your things.
This is soo true, I'm a lady bug but I'm there with you on the declutterung and I have a much less busy house. Because I live in the UK the majority of us have tiny homes and no large pastries so I have an under stairs cupboard, this is the one I need to empty and reorganise again, it's not as bad as it was but it's still there with the excess stuff.
One of the best things I did was recycle all our old Tupperware, and buy one new set. We went with glass as well. Now there's only the few containers with their lid that fits in the cupboard. If we're out of containers, we need to clean out the fridge.
Just popping on to say that I really like how that pink top looks with that denim jacket! Very cute! Personally, I can't relate to the people who hide stuff, but their homes sure look pretty! Great transformation!
Hi Cas! I 100% relate to this post. I am currently in the process of packing up to move. I thought it would have been relatively easy but both my husband and I keep finding more to purge. At least once a week for 3 months we are making a drop off to donate. I’m overwhelmed by the idea of establishing a new home with the same bad habits. I have a feeling that it will take months more of purging when I finally move to our new home. Thanks for always keeping it “real.”
I love this!!! I have learned so much !! In the past like 3 years about organizing and I thank Clutterbug!!! She is so inspiring! And that was me I would hide all my stuff, now I know better and I don’t and when It happens I tackle it!! Love your videos and to anyone watching if you need motivation hear her Podcast!!
Yes please, seeing each different space of the house done in each style is extremely helpful. I am definite lady but, except in the kitchen. So please Cas, do them all!!
I have a 55 thousand sf shop that has filled up! My house is spotless but every time I clean things just go to the shop. This year will be "the shop comes clean" for us. I ❤️ that i can come watch you for inspiration. Thank you!
Great video Cass I have an empty bedroom that I am decluttering since I have recently retired from teaching so I am doing take your house back and it has done wonders in my home 😊
It's late at night after 11 pm here but I'm organizing my kitchen right now. I have just now thrown away at least two trash bags of expired food. I am trying to stay organized and focused on my organization skills so that I am not so disorganized in the year coming up. Thanks to Cas and these videos, I have help staying on track.
I cried during this video. Scarcity mindset. It's a big struggle for me! Just you identifying it as a ladybug struggle was a big aha moment for me and I am determined to win! Kitchen and craft room, here I come.
I do! It’s called the back closet … and it’s a tuck& stash. It does get sorted regularly on a kinda rotation schedules!! LoL - continued learning from you Cass!! Thx again 😎
Really interesting for me as the opposite bug: A bee. I appreciated all the decluttering and organising, but found myself thinking how extremely annoying it would be to have everything behind closed doors: I would never be able to remember where anything was. And those broad categories, not detailed enough. If I ever doubted that I was a bee, I certainly don't now.
Having just learned the bug styles, I immediately said she is a ladybug. I was so happy for.her getting help. I wish I could afford help like you. I had to downside to a rental. But I use many of your suggestions for my BUTTERFLY home!My bedroom has never been what I want. Even as a kid. I need furniture and organizing tips. And clothes are my problem bc I am many sizes lol
By the way… I just had to let you know how much you have inspired me!! I’m happy to say I’ve been taking notes of your videos and doing your suggestions… I’m loving the new spaces I’ve declutter Ed and cleaned so far.
Transformation is great! I’ll be moving in October, and I’ve been living in my current apartment for five years, and I have paper clutter in every corner of my bedroom 😩
Wow!! What a transformation! I hope all your clients maintain the customised system you bring to their space so painstakingly as well as passionately and adhere to the rules in order to not go back to old ways. In addition to your brilliant tips to organise, I guess you need to speak also about how important it is not to be a compulsive buyer and be minimal so as not to land up in such situation just months down the line.
The garage is my hidden, scary wreck! 😭 I have decluttered and organized every other space in my home but I keep putting off and procrastinating starting the garage because it's SO intimidating. Seven years of dumping things in there!
My garage is my nemesis. But I can tell you after working on it many times, every time it gets out of control I dread it and say oh geez I don't want to conquer the garage and the most it has ever taken me was 3 hours. After the first big declutter, getting it "reset" usually takes me 1-2 hours even after say a big camping trip or Christmas. Maybe just tell yourself you'll do one hour only and start in one corner. You've got this!
Or another suggestion, just start zoning first time out (stuff things in different areas based on category) then declutter/sort/organize one category a weekend or something. If it helps at all, my zones are: Garden/garden supplies, pantry items (TP, paper towels, etc), Entertaining stuff, Christmas, Camping, Other holiday decor, Cleaning products
This video was SO exciting!!! What a great job! You are such a blessing!!! I didn't want your video to end! Keep the videos coming, you started my weekday off right! Thank you! 💜
Love, love, love how honest and real and relatable you are. Thank you for always inspiring me and making me smile! My mom has always had a "project room". The rest of the house would be tidy and organized but that room was a disaster. She still has a room like that and she's 88. "Harry Potter closet"--love that. Your client truly is a Tetris master. I use those skills for loading the dishwasher.
This was a really good video! You are amazing, Cass! Thank you for being so real, admitting you have a cluttered closet even though you’re the expert. I love your videos!
Wow! what a transformation! as a ladybug I totally relate, my biggest issue at the moment is the kitchen (used to be the craft room which I got rid of 90% of stuff) same issues as the lady in the video, to much food that gets lost in the abyss, where it goes to die and never be seen again but I am working on it, we built a new pantry that fits everything (food, appliances, etc) I just need to get it all organized, when we finished building we had stuff everywhere so it got shoved in to get it out of the way .. so its functional, I just cant find anything atm LOL!
Oh my this is just me too. My hubby was a lady bug too he had a huge Harry Potter basement. I had a HP closset. Since his passing I recently moved and I can honestly say I took mabey 30 to 35% of all the stuff with me to my new place. Most is unpacked by now and I still have everything in there place after 2 months. Hope to keep it that way. ❤😍😘
Great job! Maybe you need Dawn and Dana help you with your Harry Potter closet. Fresh eyes may help. Our storage room in the basement is what needs the most work and BIG HUGE declutter because I need it to store things I have stashed upstairs that are necessary but not every day. Love that you're a Ladybug too! XXOO ❤️
I like Dawn's approach to her basement storage. Wish I would have had that kind of advice back when I had lots of storage room. We didn't need most of it, but we stored it anyway.
Awesome. Even the cat looked amazed staring into the closet. I would have to say my biggest problem area is my storage closet in my hallway, and my kitchen drawers.Well, all drawers actually.I am definitely 100% lady bug. I think I might even have spots on my back 😂
Looks awesome, but inquiring minds want to know where all the cereal is. 😉 Also, my biggest problem area is our master bedroom. It is the throw 'everything in it' spot when people are coming over. 😬
You are so amazing Cas! What a transformation to that pantry cabinet. Now that she knows she's a ladybug, she can work on the tips you've given her to stay organized and not have so much expired food.
I love the wooden stackable bin for the cans that was placed in the pantry. Any idea where I could purchase one like it? Loved learning about the clutter bugs by the way, I even classified my husband 😁
Love this video!! So grateful to Kelly for being okay with sharing it all with us. I can relate on every level! Cass, finding your channel has helped me come of of my shame spiral and start changing my life. Thank you!!☺️
Being a ladybug, I love this!!! It has changed my life, and stress level yo simply understand how I organize, and that it's ok to not have everything microorganized. Thank you Cas!!
Love the point of having your dish towel drawer close to the sink. Never occurred to me before. So glad Im not the only that food expiration dates sneak up on.
What a great person to allow us to watch. Her anxiety must have been all time high! Thank you to her!!
Yes, thank you Kelly!
The basement. I have been cleaning, purging and organizing my basement for decades. It never gets any better.
Great video Cass. Her anxiety must be soooo decreased. Since starting my journey my stress has definately decreased. You keep me motivated.❤😊
I love that you start with, "This is where they are doing X" so you organize there, rather than moving it where YOU think it should be. This seems like an obvious way to help people stay organized since it doesn't require as much effort for them, but I don't see that with other organizing pros.
She represents sooo many of us! Thank you for being so open and honest Kelly! ❤️❤️
Same. Every single drawer closet cabinet is stuffed to the hilt but Everything else looks great until you get to the garage or open anything. Thank you for this
expired doesn't always mean non-edible. You did a great job!
I tend to forget I already bought something because I am avoiding the pit of stress that looms when I think about looking in my cluttered, disorganized cupboards. Thank you for this one. I really needed it!
You need someone you trust and aren't ashamed to share your burden!! Sometimes just a different perspective could help tremendously. Keeping it going afterwards is the trick!!
@@mrs.hatfield1451 I’d be terrible with someone helping me. I like to be in control & would hate someone trying to tell me what to do.
@@julietannOsfan1972 😂😂😂 I can't blame you!! I am definitely more of the helper than the helped.
"Pit of stress" is such a great term. My pit of stress is my work papers. Soooo many.
@@julietannOsfan1972 sometimes it's less someone being in charge of you, but there as a support person to help with the physical labor of it.

It broke my heart seeing all that food being thrown away. 😢 Learning to shift away from scarcity mind set was one thing I struggled with as well. Limiting myself to a 80% filled pantry has helped.
I like your idea of 80%. Thank you for your comments.
Yes, always leaving room to grow or margin. This mindset allows for things to be used up and less waste next time.
All the food trashed, and the cardboards that were not recycled... what a pity 😔
@@gajateariane8488 foods have a Best Buy date, a lot of those items would have been just fine, if they were not dented, rusted, or bulging.

Noooo. The more storage space, the more junk/hoarding.
Me too. That kitchen is a dream. Lots of beautiful cabinets, a big island, real granite countertops, an actual pantry! Even the flooring is perfect.
I would happy-dance every day lol.
Trying to be inspired by the decluttering & organizing, but I just keep admiring the kitchen.
That kitchen is about the size of my studio apartment
GREAT JOB!!!! Thank you for allowing us into your home. :) Kelly, you are AWESOME!
These are my favorite kind of videos. please keep them coming.
I'm glad she gave herself permission to toss the old food. I usually beat myself up with food that I have let go to waste.
I hope she is able to keep the new space up. Less is definitely more ❤
Great job Cass! What a blessing you've been...renovating this home and showing others the possibilities in their own homes. 👏
I really enjoy your videos for the tips and suggestions you share.

I love your videos Angela ❤️❤️

I would love to see one of your organization friends do a video on your HP closet for you, see how they would set it up for you! 👋🏻👀
I cried during this video. Scarcity mindset. It's a big struggle for me! Just you identifying it as a ladybug struggle was a big aha moment for me and I am determined to win! Kitchen and craft room, here I come.
You've got this!
I do! It’s called the back closet … and it’s a tuck& stash. It does get sorted regularly on a kinda rotation schedules!! LoL - continued learning from you Cass!! Thx again 😎
You're welcome!
My personal desk. It's my clutter catcher for all the theming I need to fix, take care of ect..
Really interesting for me as the opposite bug: A bee. I appreciated all the decluttering and organising, but found myself thinking how extremely annoying it would be to have everything behind closed doors: I would never be able to remember where anything was. And those broad categories, not detailed enough. If I ever doubted that I was a bee, I certainly don't now.
This bee felt the same exact way🥶
it is easy2find versus easy2putaway 😅
;p
Having just learned the bug styles, I immediately said she is a ladybug. I was so happy for.her getting help. I wish I could afford help like you. I had to downside to a rental. But I use many of your suggestions for my BUTTERFLY home!My bedroom has never been what I want. Even as a kid. I need furniture and organizing tips. And clothes are my problem bc I am many sizes lol
I'm a ladybug, I can relate. My biggest problem is the spare bedroom. If it don't have a home it ends up in there, and I close the door.
By the way… I just had to let you know how much you have inspired me!! I’m happy to say I’ve been taking notes of your videos and doing your suggestions… I’m loving the new spaces I’ve declutter Ed and cleaned so far.
Transformation is great! I’ll be moving in October, and I’ve been living in my current apartment for five years, and I have paper clutter in every corner of my bedroom 😩
Grab a bunch of boxes... one for bills
one for notes. one for.... and so on. make as many piles as you need.
Buy a shredder
And start going through it now! Maybe tackle one spot each week? Future you will thank yourself :)
Yes, get rid of it now! As someone that has moved 6 times since 2015, you definitely don't want to move, and unpack, clutter!
I’m definitely a clutter bug. Good job on organizing her kitchen and new pantry. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!! 😊
That was amazing. I can relate as well as I am a ladybug and so is my daughter.
Wow!! What a transformation! I hope all your clients maintain the customised system you bring to their space so painstakingly as well as passionately and adhere to the rules in order to not go back to old ways.
In addition to your brilliant tips to organise, I guess you need to speak also about how important it is not to be a compulsive buyer and be minimal so as not to land up in such situation just months down the line.
AWESOME video! I LOVE these kind of videos! Please more of them. You are amazing!🥰👏
Great video! Love the transformation and how much more functional the kitchen is. 😁❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The garage is my hidden, scary wreck! 😭 I have decluttered and organized every other space in my home but I keep putting off and procrastinating starting the garage because it's SO intimidating. Seven years of dumping things in there!
My garage is my nemesis. But I can tell you after working on it many times, every time it gets out of control I dread it and say oh geez I don't want to conquer the garage and the most it has ever taken me was 3 hours. After the first big declutter, getting it "reset" usually takes me 1-2 hours even after say a big camping trip or Christmas. Maybe just tell yourself you'll do one hour only and start in one corner. You've got this!
Or another suggestion, just start zoning first time out (stuff things in different areas based on category) then declutter/sort/organize one category a weekend or something. If it helps at all, my zones are: Garden/garden supplies, pantry items (TP, paper towels, etc), Entertaining stuff, Christmas, Camping, Other holiday decor, Cleaning products
@@kpercy9952 Great suggestion. Gather like things together so you can see how much you have. Kinda like Marie Kondo.
This video was SO exciting!!! What a great job! You are such a blessing!!! I didn't want your video to end!
Keep the videos coming, you started my weekday off right!
Thank you! 💜
You're welcome!
I love this kitchen, the pantry looks great!
Love, love, love how honest and real and relatable you are. Thank you for always inspiring me and making me smile! My mom has always had a "project room". The rest of the house would be tidy and organized but that room was a disaster. She still has a room like that and she's 88. "Harry Potter closet"--love that. Your client truly is a Tetris master. I use those skills for loading the dishwasher.
I can totally relate! Fellow ladybug! Great work!!
This was a really good video! You are amazing, Cass! Thank you for being so real, admitting you have a cluttered closet even though you’re the expert. I love your videos!
Aw, thanks!
Wow! what a transformation! as a ladybug I totally relate, my biggest issue at the moment is the kitchen (used to be the craft room which I got rid of 90% of stuff) same issues as the lady in the video, to much food that gets lost in the abyss, where it goes to die and never be seen again but I am working on it, we built a new pantry that fits everything (food, appliances, etc) I just need to get it all organized, when we finished building we had stuff everywhere so it got shoved in to get it out of the way .. so its functional, I just cant find anything atm LOL!
Oh my this is just me too. My hubby was a lady bug too he had a huge Harry Potter basement. I had a HP closset. Since his passing I recently moved and I can honestly say I took mabey 30 to 35% of all the stuff with me to my new place. Most is unpacked by now and I still have everything in there place after 2 months. Hope to keep it that way. ❤😍😘
Great job! Maybe you need Dawn and Dana help you with your Harry Potter closet. Fresh eyes may help. Our storage room in the basement is what needs the most work and BIG HUGE declutter because I need it to store things I have stashed upstairs that are necessary but not every day. Love that you're a Ladybug too! XXOO ❤️
Hello pat , how are you doing today ?
I like Dawn's approach to her basement storage. Wish I would have had that kind of advice back when I had lots of storage room. We didn't need most of it, but we stored it anyway.
Thank you and your client! Looks so real life to us 💚
Awesome. Even the cat looked amazed staring into the closet.
I would have to say my biggest problem area is my storage closet in my hallway, and my kitchen drawers.Well, all drawers actually.I am definitely 100% lady bug. I think I might even have spots on my back 😂
Thanks for sharing!
I am always astonished at how big those American houses are and at how many things you people have 😅
Looks awesome, but inquiring minds want to know where all the cereal is. 😉
Also, my biggest problem area is our master bedroom. It is the throw 'everything in it' spot when people are coming over. 😬
I love your channel… It has helped me so much. And not just with myself but with my kids. And compromising and how they see their organization.
such an inspiring transformation! I have one of thoseclosets too. It's a scary place!
You are so amazing Cas! What a transformation to that pantry cabinet. Now that she knows she's a ladybug, she can work on the tips you've given her to stay organized and not have so much expired food.
I'm so proud of her for letting all this go. Such a relief.
Amazing transformation. Kelly is a delightful person and deserved this makeover.
Glad you think so!
I love the wooden stackable bin for the cans that was placed in the pantry. Any idea where I could purchase one like it?
Loved learning about the clutter bugs by the way, I even classified my husband 😁
Sure, they're from The Container Store: www.containerstore.com/s/stackable-bamboo-storage-bins/d?q=stackable%20wooden%20bin%20&productId=11012163
@@Clutterbug thank you!
@@Clutterbug Is there a place to get these in Canada? Shipping costs more than the product. 😥😥
This takes courage to let people see your mess. Thank you!
Love this video!! So grateful to Kelly for being okay with sharing it all with us. I can relate on every level!
Cass, finding your channel has helped me come of of my shame spiral and start changing my life. Thank you!!☺️
Wow! great job. I could use you here. My bedroom walk in closet, and my laundry/junk room are my biggest problems. Small place makes it hard.
Small spaces can be challenging.
So excited for this!! ♥️
Being a ladybug, I love this!!!
It has changed my life, and stress level yo simply understand how I organize, and that it's ok to not have everything microorganized. Thank you Cas!!
You're welcome!
My favourite video to date!! I think everyone can relate to this video - especially after the post covid hoarding!!
I love her space!
Also, I love the way the video was edited!
“Expired” food is a fallacy. It’s usually just a best buy date for their own guarantee. Im not tossing food.
especially in today's economy...
Most of it was YEARS old. The food that was not was donated.
@@Clutterbug Why not put it in the compost bin? Why trash?
Great video, Cass!! ☆
I'm sure most of us that follow you relate to this! Well done to both of you! It can be hard to let go of anything.
Thanks!
Love the point of having your dish towel drawer close to the sink. Never occurred to me before.
So glad Im not the only that food expiration dates sneak up on.
