Ah books. I’m so torn with books. I have some I’m keeping only because I loved reading them when I was younger and I thought my daughter might enjoy them one day. Silly? I’m not sure! However, today, I am determined to purge at least a few books.
I’ve been buying (and borrowing) less books lately because I bought a Kindle a couple of years ago. I avoided those electronic devices for so long, but in the end they really spoke to my “wanting less clutter” side. And now I’m in love with the thing. I actually read more often! And I love that I can have so many books when we go away!
As you might have guessed, today’s activity for the Declutterathon is to sort through our books. I’m going to try my darnedest to be ruthless.
Do you have books you need to be rid of? How do you ‘rid’ them? Sell them? Donate them?

I’ll will be posting random progress reports throughout the week over in the Simply Frugal Facebook group and Instagram!

I always find the task of purging clothes somewhat overwhelming. Even if I haven’t worn something in a long time, I can usually find a reason to wear it once I’m deciding to purge it 😛 However, I’m sure that there are some clothes that I either don’t like, or that don’t/won’t fit properly. While I don’t think my purge pile will be huge this time, I know I’ll have something to say goodbye too.
I will also be going through my daughters’ closets to put away too small clothes and purge stuff they don’t wear.
Here’s a post I wrote about 7 Ways to Pare Down Your Closet that may help you today. Also, I read the book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and I feel like it made me look at my clothes in a whole new way (and other household items). You may enjoy it as well!
Do you have a lot of clothes that will be going into the purge pile?
