Weekend Uncluttering
What have you found to reuse or recycle today?
The theme of our decluttering has been socks. Partner finally went through their overflowing sock drawer, and binned the dodgy ones that keep inspiring them to buy new socks. I got the kids to go through the bucket of unmatched socks -- several pairs were identified, and most of the rest were binned. I'm also eyeing off my sock drawer, because I bet there are some dodgy ones in there as well.
Plus, we've added a few other items to the current op-shop box. Two food processor grating blades for a food processor we no longer have; a kids crafting tool for making loose sort of knitted sort of flowers, and several heavy duty plastic shopping bags that I'm hoping the op-shop can use just as shopping bags. And partner cleaned up their side of the bed, and near filled a wastepaper bin with bits of paper!

Pulled out my pencil case from college and emptied it. It's been over a year and I've fished a few things out of it in since then but for some reason not emptied it entirely.
Activated a few rebate debit cards that were piling up. Will use those for groceries this week.
Lots of little things this weekend.

I also took some dodgy underwear out of circulation -- I guess I started using a lot at the same time, so it's all failing at the same time?
And I turned the contents of some packets and tins in my store of non-perishable food into actual meals in the freezer, so I can eat healthily with minimal effort for the next few weeks. (I bulk buy when things I use a lot of are on offer, or when I have money off vouchers for the grocery store. Also, I'll admit it, right now I'm starting to create my own small pre-Brexit food stockpile....)

Sympathies on the feeling the need for the pre-Brexit stockpile. Watching the news has caused me to fill prescriptions early, with the goal of always having at least a months worth on hand.
