Reducing our stuff one day at a time.
Declutter, and don’t replace, some kind of food item you probably shouldn’t be eating on a regular basis. Reserve indulging in such items dividually as a special treat rather than have them on demand in your home.
About Colleen MadsenColleen is the founder of 365 Less Things and lives in Newcastle, Australia.
My name is Colleen, I currently reside in Newcastle Australia. I am a forty something year old mother of two grown children and in my third decade of being wife to my darling hubby. I love traveling, art and craft, spending time with friends and family and volunteering my time to help others.
My parents taught me well to make, mend, mingle and manage so being frugal, friendly and fun loving would describe me fairly well. I can also be opinionated, outspoken and defensive at times but hey no one is perfect. I look forward to getting to know you as well so join our friendly community here at 365 Less Things where we, that is Cindy, the readers and myself, share opinions, advice and lots of friendly encouragement.

This is a very good idea!!! I really need to do this. I think we have had lots of celebrations of late and there is still a lot of left over chocolate and treats – which should not be so readily available!!
I’m working on this right now. I have several things I need to stop bringing in the house. When they are gone they won’t come in again. They are simple things and not really bad but I want to eat too much of them.
My husband does all the food shopping and food prep. He always keeps a box of taco shells, which I don’t eat. We have been having tortillas several times a week, however. Last night I asked him to either use up or chuck the taco shells and keep only the tortillas. He said he will. Time will tell whether he remembers not to buy taco shells again. I have been nagging him for awhile to stop buying so much food! It not only clutters the cabinets, it clutters the fridge. I open the door for a snack and “give up” because I get overwhelmed looking at all the food! I keep telling him this and he agrees… but remembering when he shops is another story 🙁
