You can probably throw out several dried up pens or markers, random instruction manuals to small kitchen appliances you don’t own anymore, or the odds and ends that gather here.
Say goodbye to overused underclothes! Go through your socks and underwear and throw out anything that’s ill-fitting or has holes. You can also get rid of those pantyhose, you’ll probably never wear them again!
