Yes, exactly. For instance, we use Dr. Bronner's soap. Lately I've been buying two and stocking one away, because it's essentially locking in the 2024 price for something I know we'll use. Sometimes I pressure can a bunch of meals (we do have a root cellar where I can store things) knowing that I'm locking in current meat prices. It's a balancing act for sure.

I don’t need anything, so no spend 2025, de clutter and give up added sugar and processed food. I’m excited as a 68 year old to achieve my goals. When you retire you need so little.

My rational for buying duplicates of non-consumables is that the item will be discontinued or changed. I have an older pair of jeans that I love. I wish I had bought a few more pairs since I cannot replace them now that they are wearing out. Same with perfectly fitting underwear. Even if a company keeps the same style they may use lower quality fabric in the future. Jockey I'm looking at you!

Great video, Taryn. Your channel just keeps getting better. I love these ideas -- I, too, am annoyed at all the packaging foods come in but hadn't really focused on a constructive way to deal with it. This year I'll make an effort. Also, duplicates -- lots of times I'll buy a shirt or pants I like in triplicate or even more! The bizarre process my brain goes through is something like this: "Should I buy two? Ugh, I wasn't planning on spending that much right now. Oh, what the heck, I'll buy three, I'll use them." It's like I bypass the initial resistance to buying more -- by buying more! Is that crazy or what? BTW, I've gotten into some new habits with your suggestions from earlier videos. I turn off the stove a couple minutes before a dish finishes cooking. Also stopped washing my face with cleanser in the morning, only in the evening now. And I'm doing quick bathroom cleanings while I'm in there. So many great tips.

Containers (Dana K. White concept). Thinning out the contents of any type of the “containers” I have produced the most valuable side effect: it’s so much easier to pick out the item I really want and so easy to get rid of even more of the “marginally” useful I own. Truly has simplified my life, eased keeping things organized and, as for my closet, it’s lovely as the only things in there are the ones I use and love. Thank you

I really enjoyed the video! I have decided to stop taking anything to store upstairs. I had done really well to declutter my easily accessible attic and an extra bedroom pre-pandemic. We basically live on the first floor except for our offices. Then I went a little nuts with extras including some food and supplies . My goal now is to use up and/ or declutter again in 2025. In addition, we bought an extra freezer when our old one failed (but were then able to fix). My goal is to get them pared down considerably so that I can consolidate into one prior to gardening season next year. I want to leave the second one off until needed next fall at harvest.

And I have 5 pairs of black slip on pants from Amazon that I wear every day. Duplicates definitely have a place. (As us preppers say, 2 is one, and one is none - if you need it!)

You can make tortillas by pressing them between two sheets of cling film or wax paper or parchment paper. Just roll a rolling pin over it. You don't need a press. If you want to cut down on packaging, many stores (but especially Whole Foods and co-ops) sell bulk items, so there's very little packaging. Also, the amount of time you spend prepping the recycling of packaging is probably equal or less than making mixes from scratch and probably healthier. Like make pancake mix from scratch and store it in sealed jars. Make your own granola or trail mix or fruit & nut bars. Form and freeze your own burgers. Make your own salad dressings. I'm coming out of food insecurity caused by my childhood in poverty. I hoard canned goods and boxed foods. For 2025, I'm going to work out a basic staples list and determine how many items of each I can realistically use in one year. I'll keep that many of each of the freshest foods and donate the rest. If I keep a spreadsheet of this and reinventory once a week, I can keep things clean, use up what's about to turn, and save money overall. I can then use the data to modify my estimated usage. I live alone, I'm retired; I have the time for this. Frankly, a lot of people have too much stuff because they're afraid they might need something later, so they don't want to throw it out. They might have suffered poverty when they were younger, they may have struggled needing something they couldn't afford to go buy; parents in general, but especially single parents go through that.

Around September we started doing this thing I called "eat to zero." So the "rule" was we had to run out of something for me to buy it again. No getting it at the store without knowing it was already used up. Talking primarily about staples like canned beans/tomatoes, soy milk, pasta, rice, flour, oats, etc. It could be anything consumable in the house like shampoo etc., but I was always picking up canned black beans or something else thinking we were out of it when we weren't. I got so tired of cabinets and drawers stuffed with food. I really wanted all the storage 50-60% full and no more than that. Like you said, all it took was making a list. Used up the oatmeal? It goes on the list. Otherwise I won't buy it. Also a reminder, end of the year is a good time to go thru your spices and herbs to check for freshness and replacement. I'm trying to buy bulk spices to keep the quantities down. Great video. ❤

I try to buy at least one of each item I use regularly when it's on a good sale. If I wait until it's used up, will need to pay full price and that means a larger grocery bill.

Taryn, I appreciate your challenge of "stuffing" items into a space until it is 'over-full', but the concept of 'decluttering' items is out of perspective. People declutter Spaces. People CURATE items - I.e. we are selective in what we CHOOSE to have in our homes/lives because they are beautiful or currently useful (e.g. are used frequently or seasonally). The rest can be trashed, donated or, IF absolutely necessary, boxed up to be given away in 6 months "just in case". The "1 in, 1 out" rule should apply to everything else, including the items on one's calendar. My thoughts. I hope this helps.

Huh, you don't need a tortilla press for flour tortillas. Roll into balls, let them rest and use a rolling pin to get them into an amoeba shape to prove they're homemade. Besides, haven't heard anyone who likes their press. And it takes up way too much room.

@@tarynmaria_ Hmm, bet you are using a ridiculous recipe that calls for baking powder. Baking powder is used for making flour rise - - - tortillas are flat bread. I don't know why so many recent recipes are calling for baking powder, smh. 2 Cups all purpose flour 1/2 C warm water 2 Tablespoons fat - any kind, butter margarine, meat fat, crisco 1/2 teaspoon salt Mix with your hands. Divide into 12 balls. Cover or not. Let rest 15 minutes. Drape a tea/kitchen towel from the drawer where you're working at and let it hang down over the bottom cabinets. The flying flour will get on the towel so you're not cleaning the cabinets! Heat a dry skillet. My electric stove gets set to #7 so med high. Dust flour on the counter and roll out a ball. Place on the hot dry skillet. Quickly, roll out the next ball. Flip the cooking tortilla. Finish, rolling out the current ball. With a fork, take the 1st tortilla and put on a plate. Put the second one in the skillet and quickly get the 3rd one rolled out. Do this factory style roll, cook, flip, cook and next. Or take your time, ymmv. You want to make Asian wraps? Same recipe but no fat in the dough. You will need a small bottle of sesame oil which will be the fat and also the Asian flavoring. It lasts FOREVER in the fridge. Store it in the fridge so it doesn't go rancid. OK, so you're rolling out the first wrap but get it as thin as you can/want. None of these need to be perfectly circular - amoeba shape is fine since they all get stuffed and rolled up so who cares. When ready to put the first one in the hot dry skillet, sprinkle in 4 drops of sesame oil and cook where they land - no need to spread it around. After 3-4 wraps are cooked, sprinkle on another 4 drops of sesame oil. If you see there is too much dry flour falling into the skillet, wipe it out. Fill the Asian wraps aka pancakes (yeah, they aren't pancakes but that's what they're called sometimes) with leftovers. Anything goes! I save the last bit of cabbage and shred it along with a shredded carrot, diced onion, we like the last bit of shredded pork and whatever is in the fridge and add whatever Asian spices and sauces like a stir fry. Heat and roll up. Can serve with a dipping sauce but it isn't needed.
