I am awful about those things. Im a pack rat. My husband just toss stuff out but I save everything even to the boxes. I take the seals off and put it up, you never know when you need to pack lot of things and give it out or send something to others places.

I'm terrible! I save the stupidest things sometimes. Getting ready to do some fall cleaning. Lets see how much of this junk actually gets pitched

I try to make it a habit to go through things at least a couple of times a year and get rid of anything I haven't used since the last time. I do like knick knacks though and try to keep them in cabinets to save on dusting...LOL.

Hi! Oh, I used to be a horrible pack rat - still am a bit! LOL But, I'm trying to change my ways. I try to get rid of junk mail and mail I don't need right away to keep it from piling up on me. I'm also trying to get rid of old clutter and things I've kept but really won't use.

A lot of people are packrats.we moved too often to keep a lot of stuff we didn't need. My son and his wife are like that. She saves almost every jar that comes into the house. She has piles of stuff in the basement. Things her kid had out grown. She just can't get rid of it. Now My son He drags stuff home he's going to use some day. His pockets always have some thing in them. He has boards and shelves he brings home from the grocery stores that he has worked at.

I'llsave stuff for just in case. I'm trying to declutter and reprogram myself to thinking different. It's hard. But I would like a clutter free life! I think it's going to take some time!

I am actually really good at throwing things away that I don't need. But my hubby is a pack rat and I hate it!

i save stuffs just in case i need it in days to come. i don't feel like tossing everything into the garbage bin. simple things like plastic bags you used for shopping can be handy at times.

I use to be a pack rat. I saved every thing. We traveled a great deal and thought I would eventually use things some where some how. Now I am getting tired of the clutter and we don't move around anymore. I guess I'm settled now. I am beginning to toss things out or donate to others who might be in need.
