Tackle it Tuesday

This is what I tackled today...





My pantry closet! I found some very interesting things in the process....

...Like a five pound bag of Heath toffee bits....I was at Costco and bought those around the holidays to make a yummy dessert. I didn't feel like driving to another grocery store to get a smaller bag so I saved time by buying the 5 pound bag from Costco. Or how about the open bag of pop tarts. There's no telling how long that's been in there.

Or how about the 13 year old (I got them as part of a gift at our rehearsal dinner) soup and dip making kits.

Then there's the coffee bean grinder that I couldn't find for months and so I eventually went and bought another one...I'll be donating this one along with the rice cooker that hasn't been used in the 8 years that we've lived in this house.

I also found the reminders and remnants of several different diet phases....weight watchers....

Jenny Craig....

and the Atkins, South Beach, and sugar free diets.....

Lemonade anyone?

Cause you never know when they'll come out with a study that suggests bathing in lemonade as the new anti-aging secret. How does one accumulate this much lemonade, you ask? This is evidence of how poor my memory is. I'll be at Costco and have a craving for lemonade and forget that I had the same craving a month ago.

So, it's done...I finished. I threw out two garbage bags of ridiculously old, expired, stale food items. The before and after pics truly do it no justice. During my next Target visit I'll be buying plastic food storage containers because I still don't like this system...but it's definitely an improvement.

I also finally decluttered my daughters closet yesterday and gave my cousin 3 garbage bags worth of cloths for her daughter! WOOOHOOOO!
