Same here. I might need it in the future and I got if for such a deal!
Now i’m trying to “untrain” myself from that way of thinking. That was my parents way of thinking so, it’s been difficult to let go because although i know i do not need it right now. Maybe down the line i might need it hehe

While scrolling through youtube, I found some of your videos on how to clean. I was hooked. Now I’m trying to declutter my house so that I can go minimalist. These are great tips, but i’m wondering what to do with all the unwanted material. I feel bad throwing some stuff away, considering that my parents saved everything because “one day we might need it and it beats having to go out and buy a new set.” I’ve started a box to donate. It’s more difficult than I expected, so i’m starting with my kids baby clothes. It served it’s purpose, but the sentimental value it holds for me is difficult. I’m donating most, but keeping a very small amount mainly because they might not care when they’re older, then again they might feel I didn’t care so i’m keeping a small few just in case, plus it’s meaningful to me.

After watching your DIY cleaners video I spent all afternoon yesterday cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. It was so fun! Unlike you I actually like to clean because it’s so rewarding. Today I watched the Day 3 video and your minimalist videos. Covid-19 has forced me to stop shopping at Costco which has done wonders for my “impulse large volume” buying. One good outcome I guess, it’s forcing me to be a minimalist! Been watching all of your videos and getting so many tips for decluttering and cleaning those rooms we seldom go into, and the “junk” drawers. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom.

I am forever guilty with duplicating things at home. I don’t know exactly why but I just always have this gut feel of it being useful in the future. XD

Exception to having no duplicates: Lately we, I and another friend of mine, met at a friends house because we took turns teaching each other a traditional favorite dish to cook.
My friend had only one vegetable peeler and only one pairing knife. I have duplicates at my house and like it that way. I often have friends over and we cook together and I like that multiple people can gook at the same time. The same goes for having kids involved in the cooking.
It doesn’t mean that all the peelers and knives are a personal favorite? No, but all are good – no reason keeping things that don’t work. So my rule is, all tools that are kept have to be very good, and spare tools are only kept if it is likely that multiple people will do the same task at the same time. Multiple people will maybe peel potatoes, at least if you happen to cook for 20, but only one person will use a steamer.

Thanks for your great ideas. I’m definitely struggling with getting organized, and having less stuff in my home. Appreciate your time and thoughtful remarks about what to keep, and what to get rid of – donations are a great way to pass your treasures (the ones that you haven’t used for years).

In reply to Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth – I’m curious too. I can’t seem to live with only one knife, I do have two favorites
a Pampered Chef one that comes in a self sharpening storage thing (white part that covers the blade when storing and when you want to use it you press the black lever thing to help release it’s a 6″ blade); and my new knife that I just fell in love with (like I needed another knife; my sister just gave it to me) is a “‘copper knife stays sharp forever” I’ve only had and used this one for a few months and I seem to use it a lot, salads, tomatoes, fruit, veggies, it’s made by TEKNO (china), still have my paring knife for coring fruit, my other knives seem to large for small work and the second knife works pretty well for chopping carrots small so it’ll work on chopping nuts for other recipes where my Pampered Chef one would be way too much work. I can’t image having only 1 (one) knife to do it all. I have so many other knives but these seem to be my current favorites; so all in all we probably use at least a dozen different ones, my daughter has her favorites and mine aren’t her favorite (pretty funny how that works).
