Remove Two Forms of Clutter at Once!

Shopping Bag Clutter

Paper shopping bags are wonderful when reused to purge items to give to charity. 

Larger bags hold games and puzzles, purses, hats or shoes. Toys with accessories can be placed in smaller bags. Small bags are perfect for kitchen gadgets or office supplies. 

Using a shopping bag is more convenient than a box because it has handles. Resist the urge to overfill so the bag won't be too heavy or tear. Several shopping bags fit more easily in a vehicle than several boxes. 

If you have a particular item to give to someone, write their name or the name of the location the item needs to go on the bag. Place the item in the bag and immediately put the bag in the front passenger seat of your vehicle ensuring you will drop it off instead of leaving it in a closet somewhere in your home. Using your accumulated paper shopping bags to give things away removes two forms of clutter from your home at once.
