Love your lickety split solutions! I'm the queen of cleanout clutter here in Kentucky. For some reason I get a refreshing feeling getting rid of stuff.
Lizette, it is a freeing experience to watch when the person puts themselves above the stuff.
Great suggestions Cheryl. I'm with Lizette. There is something liberating about getting rid of the stuff you don't use. If it's been a year or two, do you really need it?
I think #6 is my favorite.
Excellent ideas, Cheryl. I like #3 - the stuff disappears and is hauled away no charge.
Kathryn, the Craig's List thing was amazing. Some folks who cared for Foster Children were allowed in early and scooped up some good stuff.
