Use up what I have.

[scaredyclassic]

I’m on a new mission to use up what I have.

First, I’m going to eat everything in the house including the freezer before I get any new food.

Second I’m gonna wear out my clothes.

Third I’m gonna wear things 3x as long before washing them.

Fourth, I’m gonna sell all the crap i dont use.

Why in the hell is there so much FOOD in my house.

Could be an interesting new diet. Only eat what u have till it’s all gone. You probably wont want a lot of it so you’ll eat less. That’s why it’s been lying around.

But dammit there is one tshirt I want. May I allow myself to buy it…also. may need some tortillas to eat all these damn canned beans I’ve stockpiled

First you have to throw out the stuff in the back of fridge that has been there > 1 year else you may get sick.

Then you have to donate the stuff that no longer fits.

Then you can start IMO.

I will be throwing out some things from the fridge, but I intend to take a few calculated risks.

All my clothes fit. I am very strict about my waist measurement. It is never permitted to exceed my clothing. My clothes have occasionally gotten tight, but that to me is an urgent situation. I am way too cheap to buy new clothes simply for fat.

But how did I get so many suits????!!!

They pile up. I buy them in little spurts and rarely discard. Usually a hole triggers a discard…occasionally a hatred of the suit. Some feel worse than others.

I use underwear till shredded but buy when I see a deal. I currently have therefore 1.7 remaining lifetimes of underwear, although some is shameful…I never toss a pair of underwear until the holes impair utility.

Hilarious.

I’m very curious to hear what t shirt you want to buy despite being in purge mode.

What did Mari Kondo affect your life?

My apartment is very clutter free.

I don’t buy expensive cothes anymore. Fast casual H&M works for me. They are cheap but look good. You don’t feel bad getting rid of cheap clothes.

FIH – it’s better for Mother Gaia to own quality clothes that last years, not throw stuff that falls apart after a year away.

I promise to wear the jungmaven till it disintegrates

Wait. I’m also really wanting a nose hair trimmer.

Is that ok for the planet?

Even your underwear? How about socks? Man I don’t want to be within the blast/smell radius of you.

Laundry removes smell even in old clothing.

If we wore out everything, including socks and underwear, we would each be wealthier, and the planet would be better off.

Underwear should last many years

Only buy stuff sourced and manufactured locally.

Container ships produce more green house gas than all the auto’s of the world.

It does little good to but an electric (what ever transport ) if it is shipped here on a container ship.

Shoveler, in an efficient market, all costs are already reflected in the price.

That’s how my mom does it and she taught us well. Unfortunately my brother has eaten too much comfort food his Kentucky wife cooked for him.

What the heck does that have anything to do with

Globalization causes global warming.

It is a fact not a political statement.
