Survey #243—Full Response from Celina
| Please provide details. | i'm confused what mailchimp or meetup are? I just always get the surveys from gmail because I'm subscribed 🙂 |

| 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? | so I do something in between which is outlets. Unless i need something specific, like my favourite tights brand, I go for random outlets for clothes, shoes and electronics. I LOVE outlets electronics in fact, becuase I never buy cutting edge gadgets. I also love second-hand bed linens because they're otherwise very expensive and low quality still. So classic cotton that's been washed many times and proves still usable is my thing. Also, sometimes CD albums, because they have examined and rated disc condition, so I always know what I'm buying. Plus I'm a 90s baby into 80s music, so often many CDs are not even available anymore otherwise. Also, my ball jointed dolls - prefer used and deals and fixer-uppers. And I love flea markets with old lace and threads for crafting. Again, better quality than the new ones. I like to re-use lace and beads off old clothes, so if I see some for little money that I can reuse for sources, then I buy them. Also, I'd never buy a new car unless a small a cheap one, but still probably off some new year sale anyway 🙂 |
| 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 generaly noticed recluttering, but now I just understand that with some thing e.g. papers you need to let go of this fear and understnad that it's a habit. I do have more things than when I started decluttering but I'm okay with that because I know that I need them. |
| 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? | regular dish washing, examining if there are some foodstuffs I don't use so I can either remember I have them and use or give away to family. I like clean countertops, with no spills, etc. visual hygiene is important to me. |
