Major Basement Declutter! A WARNING to anyone who wants to "stock up".....

[@debratakagawa4764]

Congratulations on a well organized basement food pantry. Hopefully each week when you do your grocery list you can come down to your well organized and nice looking pantry and shop the stuff you have.

[@evelynsweeney7381]

You've accomplished so much. Other than meat, produce, and dairy, you should menu plan around what you have in your basement to try and use it all up. Items a few months out from expiration give to the food pantry. Great job.

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Absolutely, I'm doing a No buy in January so we'll be using up a lot! Dropping off some stuff this week to the food pantry ❤️

WOW is right!! This looks AMAZING! You have done so much!! You should be so proud of yourself! Just WOW!!!

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Thank you so much! I truly needed this basement to get a refresh before the new year! It's given me the motivation to keep it going! I love it so far ❤️

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Wow, this has been a lot of work! But so worth it!! I can't believe it's finally coming along, I feel like it took forever! I hope you are getting some decluttering done before the new year as well❤

@@homesteadingdreams8046 you should be proud of what you've accomplished. And don't feel guilty for tossing out what wasn't needed and was out of date. Everyone went a little crazy during the pandemic.

[@joanngreen7059]

I understand what you're saying back in that time of mass buying the only thing that came out of it was crazy high food prices and we are still dealing with the crazy prices. You're doing a great job I'm a new subscriber I live in Wisconsin so i prep for winter weather, and that works for me❤

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

So true! I can't believe the prices today! Thanks for subscribing ❤️I do think some levels of prep are needed, especially in places with cold weather, as long as your able to manage it of course. I just went a little crazy 🫣

[@joanngreen7059]

@homesteadingdreams8046 we all did a little.

[@letitbee7248]

You've made a lot of progress!! Don't kick yourself for panic over-buying. A lot of people did that in 2020 (I certainly did). We were all trying to take care of loved ones in a time of great uncertainty. Now you're taking care of your loved ones by clearing out the unusable items. You're doing great!!!

I understand, the overwhelm is real. Looking great so far, would look good if you moved the shelving unit by the stairs and put it on the back wall with the other shelving unit. Looked so good seeing the stairs free of stuff. We all went a little doolally during those times, we thought the world was ending, I won't ever stock up again, now that I'm free of the stuff I have a lot less weight on my shoulders, you will too.

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Yes we sure did! I would love to put the shelf there but can't due to the compressor 🫣 but will definitely continue to use things up and NEVER stock up like that again! Thank you❤️

[@phatmatt0220]

WOW it looks great what a difference

[@rhondalockrey9592]

Wow what a big difference the floor painted looks so good. I have been decluttering for over a year to move & downsize to a smaller home I am a turtle but am glad I started I wake up not feeling so overwhelmed anymore. We can only change our future buying & storing habits we have learned from the past. I will never own this much stuff again. I want a simple life now. Great job be proud of your hard work.

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Thank you so much! A simpler life is definitely the goal, I'm starting on year 3 for decluttering, you're not a turtle! It's a marathon not a sprint....I'm sure you've done amazing! I too will never, ever buy so much❤️

[@shelly9121]

Great job!!! I've been decluttering for years myself and am behind you on your decluttering journey. Letting go is the most important thing you can do for yourself!! I'm proud of you❤

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Thank you❤️ it's not easy that's for sure! Good luck to you as well!

[@carolynoquinn4573]

You have an amazingly big collection of kitchen items, cookware, etc.

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

@@carolynoquinn4573 think so? I've gotten rid of SO much! I think it's pretty minimal now?

[@margiegalaviz7101]

I just found your channel... Loved your video and transparency...I totally understand the fear and anxiety... So glad I found your video... You're not alone... I've started to declutter this year... It's freeing and makes me feel so powerful...❤️

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Oh thank you, I'm glad you found it too! It is such a powerful experience, to manage all of our past decisions and habits. Sounds like you're doing a great job though, good luck!

Jen, I was unsubscribed from your channel. I thought you stopped uploading or blocked me for some reason, but I just realized that KZbin decided to unsubscribe me, well ok, good to be back here ❤

[@homesteadingdreams8046]

Oh my gosh!! I thought that might be happening, or I thought maybe people just didn't like me anymore! So many times after posting a video I lost multiple subscribers and I didn't know why! Thank you for telling me that, and I'm happy you are here ❤️

WOW! You shouldn’t have to buy any pantry items for a few years!
