| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | Haven't been for a couple years, but did shop for most of my camping goods at Savers. I found used cookware, dishes, throw rugs and blankets for car camping in the wild. I also buy things to use as pots for houseplants. I keep all the camping stuff in storage bins in the garage. |
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | I prevent the anxiety by limiting what I buy and doing a decluttering pass through the house once a year as I do a deep clean in each room. I keep a donation bag in the closet for things to immediately go in there if no longer wanted. I also have a space in the garage to accumulate items for donation until I have enough to justify a donation run. |
| How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain? | At least once a month |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | All food put away and dishes in dishwashe, counters wiped downr before bed. Empty dishwasher the next morning. I do bulk food prep for a few days of meals and this helps to limit the mess to once a week. I also grocery shop once a month and put things away immediately. |
