1. Expired food/spices/sauces – It’s taking up space, and you definitely won’t use it, so do yourself a favor and get rid of all that old stuff cluttering your fridge and kitchen.

2. Expired coupons – When’s the last time you rifled through your coupon file to see which ones are actually still valid? Going through it once in a while will remind you of which ones you can still use – and to get rid of the ones you didn’t.

3. Used batteries – throw ‘em out!

4. Stuff that’s broken – Let’s be real – you didn’t get around to fixing it all this time, are you really ever going to? Let it go.

5. Little knick-knacks that have no purpose – All those small bits and bobbles that lie around the house with no use or function, get rid of them. You’ll immediately notice a difference.

11. Expired medicine – Take out some time to clean out your medicine cabinet and throw away all the expired pill boxes.

12. Old shoes that you never wear – If they’re in good condition but you just never wear them, give them away to charity. Otherwise, throw them away.

13. CD’s/ DVD’s – Does anyone use these anymore?

14. Unused/unwanted Christmas presents – I’m sure they were given with good intentions, and maybe from your favorite aunt, but the reality is – if you’re not using it, it’s not worth keeping it. Donate them to the thrift store and maybe they can be of use to someone.

15. Sports equipment you never use – We can get a bit excited shopping when mentally planning our workout routine and how many weights we’re planning to lift – but a lot of that stuff just ends up piling up in the cupboard. Be honest with yourself, and if you haven’t and won’t use it, give it away.
