My wife and I are entering the empty nester phase ourself. Se we decided to become a test pilot for this idea and fill up “One Bag a Week” for the next year and remove it from our house. Here’s the plan:
- Each week can have a theme
- It can be trash, recyclables, clothes for Goodwill, old toys, broken things, expired food from the pantry, you name it.
- The beauty is that if it IS trash, it can go right out with the weekly trash at no extra expense.
- Fill up 50 bags over 50 weeks with 2 weeks off for vacation
- At the end of the year, 50 HUGE bags of excess stuff will have been removed from my house and my life. Just the thought of it is liberating 🙂
It’s November 2019; Stay tuned to see how it goes.
Disclaimer: This is not sponsored by Husky (yet). They just make my favorite heavy duty bags so that is what I decided to use. They also come 50 to a box which makes it easy for this challenge! And, no, you do not have to fill each one up – they can get heavy.
