7 Things to Purge from Your Cabinets Without a Second Thought

1. Promotional Water Bottles

2. Extra Mugs

3. Mismatched Plastic Food Containers

4. Chipped Cups and Dishes

5. Small Appliances that You Haven't Used in Two Years

6. Expired Spices

7. Condiment Packets

The only one I'm guilty of is #6 and I'm waiting for my move in June to discard almost all of them and start fresh.

How 'bout you?

I don't have any of those things in my cabinets.

Extra mugs? Only two of us live here, but we have extra mugs for serving company. I am not sure what extra mugs are. I have 8 that match my dishes and 4 larger ones for speciality coffee drinks.

I have a few extra coffee cups that I could part with. More than likely I have expired spices, but thats it. Not sure what promotional water bottles are, but we don't have any.

Hummmmm. Guess this a clue to go look at my date scribbles on the spice bottles. To my credit, I did toss some old baking power.

The sports water bottles that you get when you attend an event, or as an advertising gift with the name of the real estate company or sporting event. I donate those asap.

I am NOT throwing out my "hot sauce" packets from the Chinese restaurants/takeouts that I have collected from one yr to the next.

@Mz iMac

We rarely eat out or take out, so I don't have any of those, but my mom used to collect them like a squirrel collects nuts! We found out that our local food pantry loves to get them, so please don't throw them away - when you get a bag full, drop them off at the pantry.

I got rid of much of what you listed today. In addition to mugs, I discarded extra forks, spoons, and knives, dishes and bowls from previous dinner and and silverware sets. Finally let those extras loose. I never hold condiment packets! Despite what my coworkers believe 😆 they do go bad.
