Survey #241—Full Response from Denise
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| How often are you troubled by clutter in the kitchen and/or pantry? | It’s an occasional problem. |
| What sources of clutter or specific issues do you experience in the kitchen or pantry? | Too many spices or I forget that I have ___________ and accidently buy more (fill in the blank with rye flour, pumpkin puree, etc). |
| What organizing solutions or strategies have you tried or used in the kitchen, and how have they worked—or failed to work—for you? | #1 I started doing the dishes EVERY night and emptying the dishwasher since 2017... and THAT has made a HUGE difference!!!! Life changing!!!! #2 Decluttering!!!! Despite occasionally over buying... my kitchen is soooo much better. All of the drawers are neat and organized and not over full. My sister calls drawers that are too full "Jack in the Box" drawers. You open the drawer and all kind of stuff pops out of the drawer like a Jack-in-the-Box. ALL of my drawers used to be like this and extra food storage containers used to crap-alanche out of the cupboards onto my head. No exageration! But I have ruthlessly decluttered every November, before Thanksgiving, since 2021 and the kitchen is easy to work in. The counters are clear of dirty dishes and I don't have too much stuff! |
| What “one-trick pony” resides in your kitchen or pantry? Why do you keep it? | I used to have this egg cracker. (From Amazon "Egg Topper Opener Cracker Tool | Easily Cut and Remove the Top of Soft-Boiled Eggs") It is a gadget that is supposed to crack soft boiled eggs. It didn't work very well, so I kept it for 5 years. <insert crazy face emoji here! lol!>. I decluttered it in 2021. A wine bottle opener pretty much only does one thing, but I use it a few times a year when we have company. : ) |
