Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill. Don’t spend too much money on a sun tea jar, I see them at yard sales and thrift stores all of the time. If you like your tea sweetened, stir in sugar to your taste, the tea will be warm from the sun and the sugar will dissolve easily. It is so much better this way.

I pulled out clothes that I don’t wear and I’ll donate to the thrift store. My kitchen cabinets and refrigerator/freezer. In the first 3 weeks of 2014, I have made some decluttering progress. I reorganized my bedroom closet and dresser. I reorganized years worth of photos that were in boxes. Our filing cabinet.

I had no problem shopping at a thrift store, avoiding restaurants, and not having cable TV, but I didn’t want to give up camping and watching my daughters’ swim meets. We kept ours on the refrigerator and it was so stinkin’ fun to color in the blocks as we make payments. What are YOUR non-negotiables in life?

I have no problem shopping at a thrift store and not having cable TV, but I still want to camp and watch my daughters swim meets. We keep ours on the refrigerator and it is so stinkin’ fun to color in the blocks as we make payments. What’s important to you? Take some time and create your guidelines for the year.

Have a big box ready to take the throw-away items and another for anything that is good enough to go to the local thrift store. What about the old refrigerator in the garage you only use when you have a party? What is the worst thing that will happen if I trash it? Be ruthless!

And rather than throw unused possessions away, donate to a thrift store or offer up on Freecycle.org. I’m not telling you to turn off your refrigerator, but computers, TVs, gaming systems, smart phone chargers are all things that are usually left plugged in when not in use.

Choose Thrift First. I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. And if forgetting about it isn’t an option, only then will I step foot into a store to purchase it.
