Quality over quantity is something my grandfather lived by. His line was “We are too broke to buy cheap.” Words of wisdom!❤
That inplies that that fine quality always costs more, that is false, buy used in excellent quality and pay a lot less for it instead of RRP. Almost everything can be bought used in next to new condition, by doing that, one has m ore money to spend on higher priorities.
@@sjordan7085Buying used items of quality is always best, repurposing - but even then you need to have done your due diligence (research) and read the 1 and 2 star reviews of an item. Sadly electronics appear to not be repairable - I bought a used Cd player good brand name ‘Sony’ which stopped working within months of my purchase and I was unable to return it since it wasn’t purchased new and had no warranty. Sadly a waste of money. Good comment though - best to try and keep items out of the landfill. 👍🏻
The old kitchen towels - also bath towels, bedsheets and other bedding - can go with the pillows to the pet shelter.
Who knew our old towels and bedding could be so popular at the pet shelter? Maybe they'll start a luxury pet hotel!
Thank you for keeping this so simple. 👍 I actually stopped the video and went and declutterred my bags and purses. Four is a great number. 👍 Well done☺️
I live. In a motor home and I’m still decluttering and purchasing after two months . A work in progress
I donate reusable bags to food pantries
... or thrift shops
That is the best idea I've EVER HEARD Pantries can ALWAYS use those bags ...❤😂❤
Good idea xxx
I put my donations in the bags
I took 1 thing (sometimes more) out of every drawer and cabinet in the kitchen and boxed it up, kept for two weeks(went back in for 1 lid) and donated boxes.
I've finally cycled out all my plastic containers. I have a few of those larder glass ones with snap lids for meals, but mostly it's all just upcycled salsa, jam, and pasta sauce jars. If I lose a lid or break a jar, I can just recycle the other piece and I know there's a free replacement on it's way within a week or 2. It is one of my personal favorite changes I made. They're just easier to clean, they're more sturdy and airtight, and they're already in my pantry anyways.
I really love that purple bag!💜💜💜
I kept my bags folded inside one bag and hung it from a hook behind my sest in the car.
My grocery store sometimes gives out free reuseable bags when you spend a certain amount, and I always decline. And I ALWAYS get the same reaction from the cashier. They look at me as if I've got 3 heads and say "but..... it's free".
Yes, I understand the concept, but I have so many. I tell them to just give mine to the next person who's really excited to get a free bag, but it's always an argument somehow.
Sorry, don't know how I managed to reply to you, this was supposed to be a comment on the original video, oops. 😂
I do as well😊
Me too! 😊
Clearing the surface is what i need to do immediately! Thanks!
Throwing away my Cricut Maker box cost me $40 when I needed to have it serviced. 😂 But I mostly agree.
🤣
I love your tips and tricks. Thank you for all of your hard work all these years. ❤
Your support means the world to me, thank you for being a part of this journey! Thanks for watching! Melissa.
Quickfire, punchy, great tips....... works for me! Thanks
I used to have a connection to donate bags to foster care. Children are taken out of homes with no bag to put anything in and this helps a little same with old suitcases.
I donate old towels and bedsheets to pet shelters, and my vet office. Some shopping bags, I give to my church, because they give out food and can use the extra bags. :)
I always enjoy your videos. So many great ideas. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I promise I'll keep the great ideas coming, as long as you keep hitting that play button.
With decluttering, I struggle with where to dispose of items or where to donate things that are still in good shape- could you suggest places what to do with decluttered items 2:58
Facebook/Facebook Marketplace (Some Buy Nothing groups are really great)
Local non-profits
Local homeless shelters
Local libraries
"Little libraries" in your community (Some have more than just books, DVDs, CDs...
Churches (some might have specific ministries for specific items)
Local thrift stores
Salvation Army
Goodwill
Habitat for Humanity (furniture)
Food pantries
Hello, here are the ways I get of things: ask my family, friends and coworkers first, then ask on Facebook on special donation pages. Good luck! 🤗
Donate items in perfect or good condition. Why do we think we can only donate stained, broken, ripped, missing parts items? It’s OK to toss them.
Consider your local women's shelter. Call and ask them what they need.
This is a problem I have because we do not have a car and in New zealand where I am,there's literally NO charity shops that collect donations 😢
Thank you Melissa. Great tips.
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate your support.
Decluttered make up last week. So good.
Did you find any treasures hidden in the depths of your makeup stash? Thanks for watching! Melissa
Aldi has these wonderful fold up reusable box bags. They sit on a small section of shelf in my kitchen. Where I live plastic bags are still a thing. I repurpose those. I keep them in a thrifted Simple Human bag holder. I buy my quality items at thrift stores. I have found barely used high end items at thrift stores. Stuff that I need and use. I go through my towels every so often. I keep only what I need.
The boot of my car is full of reusable bags. I still forget to take one with me into the shops.
Great tips! TFS ❤
good tips. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Say yes to those gift bags of Cosmetics or toiletries and take them to the local women's shelter. They will be much appreciated by women who may have left home with just the clothes on their back
I put reuseable bags on the top of my grocery list so I don't forget to take them.
I use a collapsible crate and 2 heavy duty shopping bags, works perfectly for quick packing and organising when opened in the trolley. Just beware of the weight distribution!
My shoulder agrees after a mishap with a set of stairs that still hurts 20 years later!
Happy Father's Day Chad!
Your video is very well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Will check out your other posts. Thank you ❤
What is the cutting board that you removed during the "clean off surfaces" in your kitchen?
Worked in the Walmart pharmacy many years , we never took back any medication .
I just went through my pantry and my clothing drawers and got rid of two small kitchen garbage bags of expired food and one small kitchen garbage bag of socks, etc.
That's a great feeling of decluttering! It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate over time.
GOOD GRIEF! Look at that makeup collection!
🧐
Amazing! Think of how much money she spent in the first place!
Not just me, then! 😂
I have a box place where I stash the boxes that I am not sure I need to keep and then of I do not need them in a few weeks or when the box that holds them gets full i recycle them.
with how expensive even drugstore cosmetics are i NEVER throw away mascara after just 3 months lmao i rarely wear makeup so i keep that shit till its dry
😂
So do I. The kind I like is expensive and hard to find.
Must admit I've had some of mine years as I don't wear everyday, mine are staying can't afford them every 3 months x
Same here!Great tip!If your mascara dries out,just use eyedrops,pour in a few and it's as good as new.
Have you heard of the period purse? You get a purse you dont need/want and fill it with pads,tampons,wipes etc. You can put it in your car and give them to homeless women or drop it off at a shelter.
In the UK we have to pay for our reusable shopping bags, so we tend to keep them.
The clear bags for fruit & veggies are free tho.
Exactly same in my city in US. I take reusable bags to store but still end up with plastic ones for 8 cents. I use them for garbage bags. They’re cheaper than buying a box of garbage bags.
Same in Canada. Plastic was back for awhile at 5-10 cents a bag. Not any more. 40¢ for a reusable fake cloth bag while the bigger reusable plastic- fibre patterned bags are $1.50-$2.99. HAVE TO REMEMBER TO TAKE THEM WITH YOU WHEN SHOPPING🤣
I donated my reusable bags with donations inside
Good day...how do you clean your microfiber dishcloths pl
Just wash separately in washing machine and no fabric softner!
Hello!
What's up?
"Youll find a drawer for it". No. I dont have acres of kitchen like you, there isnt 'spare' storage space for the benchtop appliances
In Australia you can no longer get plastic reusable bags as these were recently phased out.
Thank you for sharing this info, it's important to reduce plastic waste.
Same here in Newzealand!
Been a few years since I've even seen a plastic bag😂
In South Africa, you need to keep your boxes.
I have 1 purse lol
If you remove everything from your counters, any ideas where to store fruit, like bananas? Pantry isn’t an option.
after you declutter, if you want the bananas on your countertop then we are good to go.
In the US, the veterans administration has bags that you can put old pills in and they will just discard safely
They never pack my bags the way I like it so I just have them put the groceries back into cart without bags. Then I sort and bag my groceries at the car.
Be safe, each your back
Every time I get a reusable bag, i fill it with donations and drop it off at the thrift store
That's such a thoughtful and generous way to give back!
👍👍
I just get the bags to avoid arguments and then give it to either the autowala or the cab driver.
I don't allow it to enter the house 😊
Yes, I still have too many!!!
It's a common struggle for many of us!
I see that Buckleys, haha. Normal Buckleys is STRONG stuff. Expired Buckley's could probably take out a god, lol.
BEWARE!!! I took expired Buckleys by accident and I vomited and shit BLOOD! Be VERY careful!!!
12 bags?! I only have 3. 2 insulated zippered bags, 1 open bag.
Haha, 300 apps for me!
If I have an empty box, I fill it with items to donate. Then take it to our local thrift store.
12 bags? That's a huge number 😳 Unless one has a big family, I don't see the point of having that many.
I'm single and keep about 15. I keep one or two folded up in my purse to use if I just "run by the store". They are great to carry laundry to the laundry mat too. I like to use them to tidy up. I just grab one and start putting things that need to go somewhere else in the house. Then just put those away. This is great for a quick pick up too. I love that they are reusable, multifunctional and fold up when not in use. That saves so much space.
nah 4 purses? your wildin, i have several that i dont wear regularly but theres no way im giving them away, they go with specific outfits for special events
I stopped counting at 30 purses. Totes, evening bags travel bags, I have them all and I'm keeping them. I had a great bag in high school and wish now that I had kept it.
Do you “wear” a purse? I don’t consider them an item of clothing.
I store mine under the bed in storage tote😊
Inexpensive refers to cost, not quality.
Yah I does declutter .. Get rid of things that’s no longer any use to me 🤔
As far as the disposing of medicine goes, I actually called my local pharmacy and no they don’t actually take some of my past or old /no longer needed medications prescriptions and they said to take them to a police station to dispose of them. Which I didn’t cause I didn’t want it to look weird soo.. I took a small bowl and filled with hot water and put the pill(s) in it and let them melt all the way and poured it down my kitchen sink for free.
That’s illegal in some places. We have medicine disposal days in our area.
This is random but does anyone have any idea how to safely remove dried cement and epoxy grout from quartz countertops after a backsplash renovation?
Your contractor should take care of it, or tell you how.
I always bring my own bags when shopping. I dislike having to pay 10 cents for a plastic bag that gives free advertising. They should be paying me for advertising their company.
That's a great eco-friendly habit! It's amazing how small changes can make a big impact on the environment.
I love your teeth😅
Thanks! My dentist will be thrilled to hear that!
I don’t think you needed to tell them “no thanks bc I’m not going to use it”. That’s sort of rude. Just decline without a reason.
She was just being honest , nothing wrong with that:)
Just saying "no, thanks" feels ruder to me. But then, I'm from a culture where saying "no" feels offensive.
Companies spend a lot on promotional items. I think it's a kindness to turn down things you don't want. I do hoard the shopping bags myself!!!
You’re lucky - the fascists here banned plastic bags ….
you are young but act so old.
…Thanks so much for watchin’ - and we’ll see ya next time. 🫡
Your video is very well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Will check out your other posts. Thank you ❤
