I was thinking it might be time for this. . . . . . I need to get moving on decluttering. My kitchen cupboard barely closes

HOW did that happen?

And I'm finally back at it. Yesterday I went through the medicine cabinet, baskets and bins in the downstairs bathroom and filled two tall kitchen garbage bags with expired and/or unused junk. I'm thinking I'm not going to bother counting anymore just going to post what I do.
