Digging through my pantry for a certain can of something, I once again came across a specialty dessert dip mix I had been saving for a special occasion. As I've said to myself the last 40 times I've seen it…"Not today. Don't have the cake needed." I pulled it out, knowing I've ignored it for a long time. "Wonder if there's an expiration date." There was. 2005! Really? I have been ignoring it to save it for a special occasion for ten years? Sadly, I admitted defeat and chucked it in the trash.
Constant vigilance is our mantra in simplifying and decluttering. Time passes more quickly with each year and we just don't realize how long we've been holding on to clutter we don't need or that is past its prime. Take a glance through your food cupboard. Is there anything that should be used soon? Make a plan to incorporate it into a meal this week.
