This Week on the Home Front Part 6

I completely cleaned out my pantry this week!

Good finds: 2 new saucepans that I had no idea were hiding in the dark recesses of the top shelf and two Ronald McDonald houses full of can tabs to donate.

To Donate: Candle holders that have been in there since before I moved in almost four years ago.

Combined - plastic utensils. Instead of having five bags/boxes of them, we now have two, one for spoons and one for forks.

To Throw Away or Recycle:
old grocery receipts (a huge stack of them)
half a bag of peanuts
a broken measuring cup
corn meal
two half-used containers of bread crumbs
half a bag of sunflower seeds
chocolate coffee - old and will never get used anyway
23 plastic grocery bags
Christmas resealable baggies from 3 years ago
honey
half eaten can of cashews
sponge mop replacement - wrong type
cooking oil - old and cloudy
dusty, plastic spoons
vacuum belt for vacuum we no longer own
empty wine bottle
2 candle jar lids
a bottle of saki


It's amazing how much accumulates in your pantry!

  5. Isn't it sometimes difficult to make decisions of what to get rid of but then it's so nice when there are so many obvious things?
