Instead of a garage sale, give it to charity, a friend, a coworker, etc.  Just remember to tell them you do not want it back, just pass it on.

clutter can be a very ugly problem..lighten your life by getting rid of STUFF you really do not need or use...my rule is ...if it does not serve a purpose it's gone.....we bog ourselves down with too much stuff that has do be dusted, get rid of it

paperwork such as paystubs, bills etc. need to go after the year is over.  If you haven't worn, played with or used it in 6 months, it's gone.  If it's missing pieces or disfigured in any way it needs to go.

Our rule is if you have not played with, touched, or worn an item in 6 months, it is time for us to give it to our local thrift store

Stuff like bank statements, bills ect. I keep the past 3 months. I try to shred all of that stuff but if I dont have access to a shredder, I tear or cut it up and put into multiple bags. I am horrible about keeping stuff but since we just moved I made myself get rid of alot of stuff. My problem is storing all that sentimental stuff.

I do not have to worry about getting rid of anything because of this economic crisis we are living in I do not have any extra things to get rid of.

Clothing for me personally...not my whole family. I have 4 suits for workdays. When I am home I have 4 pair of sweatpants plus p.j. pants. Because the hubby hates to see me in these to go out, I have 2 pair of jeans. About a dozen socks which are pitched if they get thread bare or a hole. Under clothing is replaced in a similar manner.

Also, recycling clothing to Salvation Army. They help the community in a number of ways.

 If there is a favorite piece of clothing that one does not want to get rid of I will cut it up to use in a patchwork quilt for them. Old jeans that cannot be donated because of stains or holes...the back of the legs are usually in fine shape and can be cut up for a jean rag quilt or to make my own green grocery bags. Atleast try to recycle before getting rid of something.
