| 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? | I look for all the things: decor, furniture, clothes, kitchen items, & more! Wooden furniture (end tables, bookshelves, etc) ONLY USED because most newly made furniture is rickety junk, in my opinion. Shoes NEVER USED — I bought secondhand shoes in the past, but after seeing a relative fighting severe foot fungus (& reading it can live in places like carpet for up to 3 years), I just can’t buy used anymore. Items for cats NEVER USED because I don’t want my cats freaking out when they smell other cats on their “new” beds & toys. |
| 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. | Nope |
| 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 year |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | Feeding wet food to my cats forces me to wash dishes several times per day, rather than letting a mountain of dirty dishes pile up like I used to years ago. My cats also jump on the counters sometimes, so I feel compelled to clean the counters well before I prepare food. I cook in large batches that my hubby & I eat for multiple days. That way I don’t have to cook full meals & mess up the kitchen every day. (We are empty nesters.) |
