Better than chocolate

Saw this on Facebook and it seems like a really good idea!

This is a cool idea! Though one I struggle with because although I dress like a cartoon character and therefore only ever use a 1/7th of my wardrobe, I also have a problem with parting with perfectly functional items. XD Or things I don't actually wear but that might have some kind of emotional attachment, idk. I definitely need to be better about that, though. As I always say, as someone who really doesn't have very much clothing (maybe two suitcases--counting winter wear and shoes), I sure have a LOT OF CLOTHING... /O\

I'm a recovering hoarder so I know your pain. I get past it by thinking that if there's something I have that's useful that I don't actually use, then it's going to waste. That there could be someone out there that needs that exact thing and I'm denying it to them. When I'm clearing out clothes I try to imagine, if I saw it in a store today, would I buy it? I still have a huge amount of stuff, but it's getting smaller!

Someone suggested books could go in the bag too...but that sounds a bit crazy to me : ) xx

A great idea, much better than giving up chocolate!

*runs off to count*
Nope, it won't work at all, I don't have 40 items in my wardrobe, let alone 40 to give away, LOL!

Seriously though, it is a great idea.

Great idea.

This is a very cool idea, I think it's worthwhile and will help others, plus make us realise that sometimes perhaps we're a little frivolous when it comes to hoarding our clothes! Xx

Well, maybe just 40 things, books, the kids old stuff? Any excuse for a clear out xx

I'm all for the practical...and really giving up chocolate isn't that practical ; ) xx

I try to be good but yeah. So much stuff to get rid of xx

I *try* but it never works out, I have a bog box of stuff that gets added to and then once every few months the good stuff with no holes goes to charity! Haven't done it for a while though. xx

It's an awesome idea. I've been giving things to charity, and it feels really good. :)
