Quickie Declutter Sunday 11/27

Okay, I started this declutter Tuesday morning, when I discovered weevils in the pantry. Uugghh! Out went all of the grains. I also did a quick cleanout of the fruit and veggie bins before we headed out on vacation.

So to day we have been home 3 hours. In addition to helping unload the car and trailer, and putting things away I:

Finished cleaning out the pantry. I decided to dump all dried beans just to be safe. We got some ants while we were gone, so out went more food. I cleaned all of the pantry shelves. My pantry is so bare!

Decluttered the freezer.

Decluttered the fridge. I threw out a lot of stuff, mostly expired and stuff we don't eat anymore.

Decluttered the spice cabinets, which is herbs and spices, vinegars, and oils.

Decluttered the Tupperware cabinet, recycling all of our plastic containers. We bought glass in August and decided to give it a few months and then get rid of the Tupperware if we hadn't used it. Did you know that Tupperware is actually *more* expensive than glass?

I threw out about 8 bags of food today. It makes me sick. Some of it wasn't my fault, but some of it was just wasteful. I am going to be far more careful.

Now I am going to make a pot of beans, take a long hot bath, and then go shopping at Trader Joes.
