It has occurred to me that calling this my daily declutter/discard may seem a bit misleading, but I promise, though I'm not photographing every single thing I discard, I am faithfully getting rid of something each day.
I ran to Target (I've got my eye on some clearance stuff, I'm waiting for it to get one more markdown!) and as I passed the Dollar Spot I spied some little plastic baskets with handles. I'm pretty sure I've seen them in some of the local dollar stores, but always in colors I'm not so fond of, so I pass on them. This time though, they had black. I grabbed two of them for use under my kitchen sink. Yay!
I collected all of my cleaning supplies (the ones in the kitchen, at least) and stuck 'em into the basket. It's not particularly rigid, so I was able to comfortably fit what I had in there. I ended up only needing one, so I've got one free to use as I see fit somewhere else. I'm toying with the idea of sticking plastic grocery bags in the other one, since those seem to multiply and take over my under the sink cabinet space.
(In the basket, Magic Eraser, feather duster, glass cleaner, Simple Green, air freshener and a Sham Wow {hubby made that purchase!}.)
My discard for today is a dog waterer. I bought this one gallon waterer for the little princess after her big sister passed away a few months ago. For some reason, she's terrified of it. It's been sitting there since I bought it. I wash it and put fresh water in it and she won't touch it. She drinks out of a tiny plastic leftover bowl instead.
I'm adding this to my box of items to consign or yardsale. It's nice to have a designated place for things I don't need/want/use anymore. It feels liberating to trash the stuff that's taking over and to know that I'll be finding a new home for the better stuff that we just don't want or need.
