Seriously?
Are you people seriously telling me that when I did the toss-it challenge a few days ago, only 3 of you had ANYTHING to throw away? I don't buy it ladies! I DON'T BUY IT!!!
Let's follow Cornelia's example. Get a bag...large or small. Go around your house. Fill it with stuff to toss. I promise you'll feel better if you do!My Blog: http://amysreallife.wordpress.com

I need to. I really do. I did yardwork instead. 
I have a closet to fling. Will check in afterward.

I tossed a whole bag of old undies & socks out of our dresser!
We got new!! DH took me shopping at Walmart (on his money$$) on Sunday and we got new undies, he got new socks, and 2 new t-shirts. So I cleaned out the dresser. I bet he had 25 pair of old socks he was keeping!! They are all gone now!!Bridge

I have a paper grocery bag to drop at Goodwill next time I am close. Other than that I have to say that since I did the spring fling I have not accumulated alot. Give me a few months though and it'll begin to creep back in

I went through my paper tote and tossed out a bag of papers/magazines/catalogs I didn't need. I organized my front hall closet last night too and tossed out a bag of shoes that were old or outgrown.
Two bags less in my house. woohoo.If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.

Amy, you'll be pleased to know that I helped my son clean his room yesterday. We threw out about 50 demo CDs and DVDs and a stack of magazines that have lurked under his bed for over a year. The rubbish and recycling bins are almost full for the first time in months.
We also recycled his backpack which was mouldy! He wanted to throw it out but I gave it my special laundry treatment and it came up like new. That saved him about $70 by not having to buy a new one.
