When my son was in kindergarten I had to buy some fabric for a little project he was doing in class. I put the excess in the bottom of my sewing basket. It's still there. He's now 41.

I periodically box up my old vases and return them to a local flower shop where they can be reused. My florist loves them!

Reuseable bags live in my car. I only overbuy bags because i left mine at home. Storing them in the car means i have them when im shopping.

I used all my plastic grocery bags in my waste baskets! Saves me money 😀😀😀

I am so much happier after I've decluttered. The feeling of less stuff is SOOO freeing. You just feel light.

I will never get rid of my rice maker. Using the stove requires me to watch it carefully. The steamer can be left alone and has auto shut off. To each his own.

Love all these suggestions!
My husband and I are in our 70s, and unfortunately we’ve had to buy items like long-handled electric scrub brushes, long-handled reachers/grabbers, safety ladders, and rolling carts to transport items while using a cane, etc.
But, we no longer store items on any of our top shelves (why ask for trouble?). That required a LOT of decluttering.
We are changing our overhead light fixtures to LED ceiling lights — we’ll never change a ceiling bulb again!!!
We got rid of all area rugs, as they are trip hazards, and so much extra work to keep clean.
We’ve really cut down on decor and artwork. It’s so much less work for us now. And our environment is much calmer.
When we want seasonal decor, we usually just display fresh flowers, greens — items found in nature. We come up with a few easy-but-special displays each season.
We’re also going to hire a cleaning service who will come occasionally to clean our “public” rooms only. That means locking anything we don’t want seen or taken into our bedroom closet (bedroom to be locked). This seems like a small chore, but actually requires a lot of thought and effort.
Even though we made these changes because we’re old, I think younger people would appreciate making them, too. After the initial planning and work, home life will be easier, simpler, and safer.

Just a gentle reminder... please dont donate broken items, items you would not buy, or worn out. Donation centers throw out 75% of donations. Please dont make more work for them.

I love sea shells, one way I display them is to put them in vases. It makes me happy.

Once I've moved into apartment where previous residents left about 100 dry clean clothes hangers. I've collected all of the and returned to a closest dry clean. They were very happy 🙂

[hockeygirl]

I need small toiletries. They are a blessing for any food bank or homeless shelter. I collect them and give them away in the homeless kits I make

[lila]

Kitchen and bath mats are a must for me.

Wine bottle opener is still needed... Not all wines are twist top, just the cheaper ones.

We do have a popcorn machine and I gave it to my now teenage son's when they were really little as they got to school age they could easily and safely make popcorn for themselves with no oil etc. Best investment ever and it was used so much for school dances, parties, sleepovers, snacks and movie nights. They still love it

[danacaro-herman]

I love paper towels!!! Never getting rid of those!!

[marylhere]

I collected those vases for some reason and gave them to a wedding planner who does decor on the cheap. Was glad she could use them.

I use Dawn dishwasher liquid for nearly everything, including the toilet. If it's safe enough to wash oil-soaked birds, it's safe enough to clean my house.

[sloanchessman]

My family and I eat a lot of rice, so in my house, a rice cooker is an absolute MUST! I couldn’t function without one.

[KristiBranstetter]

I do use plastic bags and paper towels because I do have a cat.
