Before I get rid of containers without lids I check to see if I can use them for drawer organizers.

I took all my kitchen utensils (big spoons, spatulas, pancake flippers etc.) and put every single one of them in a basket in my pantry. I only put them back in their original drawer space after I used them. After a month I got rid of all the EXCESS utensils that were still in the basket & obviously weren’t getting used anyway. Just thought I’d share this tip as it really helped me!

The green containers from food storage: office drawer organizers. Cheeky mug: pencil cup

Loved that you showed your interaction with Joe over things you were going to purge. Compromise!

Random singing of Queen made my entire day! THANK YOU

Currently waiting for a junk removal company to come haul out the crap I got rid of in December before the holidays (with your help)! I was getting stressed about finding the “right” ways to get rid of everything, and I finally decided to make room in my budget (aka I got the crowbar out of my wallet) for a reputable company who will do that work for me. They will sell, donate, and appropriately dispose of everything rather than just putting it in a dumpster. Feels so good to have a clean, clutter-free home with systems that actually work for us. ❤️

"Dawn would say none..." 😂😂✌️ I just loved that tiny pause of, Oh no! WWDD. Glad I'm not the only one with a Minimal Mom conscience, haha!

Love your reference to what Dawn would say. She’s in your head now! 😂

Just a tip I use, food storage containers that are missing their lids can be repurposed as drawer organizers,

My husband came all the way over to the computer from across the room to figure out what you called your clucker mug! hahahaha

"Dawn would say none" 🤣🤣🤣 I felt this.

My pantry cabinets are over 22" deep. I use cake sheet pans so that I can utilize every inch of space. I can slide the pan forward and access everything in the cabinet.

If you have to only remember one song and it’s Bohemian Rhapsody, then you have chosen well, my friend.

I’ve lived in my house 19 years and I just moved the dishes above the dishwasher. Thanks Cas.

I moved my cute cups into the living room and have my succulents in them now.

Its is nice to see the ‘discussion’ between you and you’re hubby 🥰 makes these video’s real

I have that same style mug, with chip and everything 🤣. My kids call it "The cowboy mug" and like to eat beans from it! I have an unreasonable fear that if I throw away the pen, it will decide it wants to work again...like if I just give it a little more time, it will realize it's potential 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've lived in my house for over 20 years and I still move things around in the kitchen looking for the best spot. Drives my husband crazy. LOL

Cass I would keep the little “Cluckers” mug and use it to plant a succulent in it🌵 😁

Joe! It’s Joe! He speaks! (Easing him in are you?😉) Nice to see you Joe 👋🏼

I feel like pen roulette is everyone’s challenge. Maybe we are all wishful thinkers when it comes to pens...we wish someday that pen will work. 😃

It’s because Bohemian Rhapsody is SOOOO long, your brain ran out of room... lol... You and Joe are so darn cute! Great video Cas!

Haha love the negotiation footage with hubby 😂

That knife!!! I was yelling bread, grapefruit, tomatoes!!!! I love that all the ladies in the declutter/ minimalist community are just the sweetest, most upbeat bubbly ladies around 😍

I relate to you so much. Adhd and poor memory and randomly belting out songs. I love your personality. Thanks for your organizing tips. I always look forward to a new video!

Sometimes when nice pens run out of ink, I keep them thinking I'll buy refills.....but I never do!

Years ago,my husband made wanted the Tupperware to be only stored with a lid. At the time I was annoyed with his suggestion, as I consider myself an organized person. So, we got rid of a garbage bag full of plastic containers with no lids, and our drawer has been organized from that day forward. Your green containers, reminded me of that story.

i love how you consult your husband before throwing or giving things away.

Great tips! Thanks! Just one tip about recipe binders. I just photographed all my recipes with my iPad. Then I make different albums for them in my photos. No more paper recipes! If I want to make something I prop up my iPad on the counter and use the recipe. It’s great for traveling or at the cottage too. You are never without your favourite recipes!

This makes me want to declutter like a Mother Clucker! 😉 Thank you for the inspiration Cas!!

I literally did this yesterday! Travel cups, coffee mugs, a duplicate strainer, an old cutting board that was gross, and a couple other things. I think your video must’ve uploaded into my head before you uploaded it to KZfaq! 😂

our family has a strict "No mug policy" when it comes to gifts for each other. lolol

Back when we lived in Japan in the itty bitty tinie tiny house, I literally had 3 feet of dead space like yours. I used it for occasionally used party and birthday supplies. I organized them in baskets and labeled them and shoved them back in the hole of death double stacked. (In northern Japan we had nothing to do so there were always parties and potlucks) So if someone needed to throw together an impromptu party, I would just dig into the organized hole.

"We don't keep guilty clutter." -I love that👌

A ton of great tips, Cass! Those small green containers without lids would work great as drawer organizers! Love the impromptu concert lol. Hugs-josie 😊 💟 💜 💕

You and your husband are so cute together! Thanks for sharing :)

Cass! Spontaneous Bohemian Rhapsody! I have video of our family headbanging & singing along this Christmas. One of the kids got a karaoke microphone for a gift. (Okay, It was from us.) It has Bluetooth so my husband put on his playlist.. Suddenly Rhapsody came on & the whole living room was full of us adults & teens singing along. The younger children just sat there with mouths agape. 😂

Oooh, we got to see Joe. Fun! I was just telling my daughter that I can't remember why I went into the kitchen, but I can sing certain songs from 30 years ago, EVERY word without even thinking about it. Strange what our memory bank holds. Great video. Thanks Cas!

I'm in a similar situation. I have a lot of beautiful specialty glasses which I inherited, even though I don't drink. Recently I decided to get rid of my regular glasses and drink water and juice from my grandma's crystal ware. Best decision ever, it feels so fancy.

I really relate to your memory. I can't remember artists or albums or anything I feel so ridiculous.

Love the zone concept. 🙌 Excited to be collaborating with you. 😘

I have been decluttering, zoning areas, and moving things around, and now I am having to remember where I have put things.....lol My husband and others have said that I am like a squirrel.

Parting with cute mugs..... if i have a mug with a cute saying I taking a pic and creating a colkage for in my coffee area to hang on the wall. Keep the cute not the clutter.

Decluttering cookbooks - I have a few I would never cook from. However the rest definitely stay. They are my middle-of-the-night, can't-sleep (or get back to sleep) reading material. I don't know why, but reading cookbooks is so relaxing, and it's only a short while before I'm nodding off. They stay.

I loved Joe popping in at the end. We don’t see him too often. Great video Cas

I do need to do more purging of things in my cabinets, and do some rearranging, but when your space is ridiculously limited, such as in my apartment, it is difficult to actually make it as efficient as I would like. I'm gonna keep trying though... my poor hubby...

Mugs! We started a tradition this year and everyone in the house gets to pick one mug for Christmas that is their style and that is all the mugs allowed in the house. We normally only use them for hot chocolate anyways. Anyway next Christmas we'll decide if we want to keep the ones we have or get a different one. My daughter has a dinosaur, my son a spiderman, my husband a iron man and I have a Zelda one. 😊

Cas, it’s because of you that my life is better. I thank God for you daily in the morning and nightly before I close my eyes.

New decluttering theme song: Bohemian Rhapsody. Love it!

*LOVED these Tips, Cas! So fun to be in this Clutter Free January Collab with you!*

A Joe siting! I love when that happens! Nice to see the "couple compromise" with the knife, now that you know what it's used for! ;)

"Dawn would say none" :) love it. I tell that to myself at least once a week.

I store all my “Tupperware” with the lids on and I’m always telling people it will make your life easier if you store plastic containers with the lids on. No searching for matching lid is a wonderful thing. As soon as it comes out of the dishwasher I put the lid on and if a lid is missing in the trash it goes

Oh my gosh yes, I consolidated my cookbooks into a binder a few years ago and made myself a promise that unless it was a gift for someone else I was never buying another cookbook again - and I've stuck with that so far. Coffee mugs - I used to have a huge collection of them (I'm the only one in the house who drinks coffee and only one other person drinks tea as well) so what I did just this past autumn is to get rid of the ones I never or rarely used, but the others I separated them so I can change them out seasonally. This way I get to keep the ones I love and use without keeping too many and I can switch them out and feel like I'm getting a new mug every few months. I also zoned my kitchen this past autumn as well and it's been so great. I have 2 pantries in my kitchen - one is just a tiny pantry and the other is basically a closet (think a regular sized closet with double sliding doors), so I use the bigger one for my food, and the tiny one is for water, canned/bottled drinks, and food storage containers. Thank you for another great video!!

I love your after video bit with Joe! So real it’s me and my husband xx

So good. I have some more kitchen stuff to declutter, like the two cute mugs I keep.Once says "I do", the other says "I do as I'm told"

Oh. I’d love a video on your meal planning recipe binder 🤩

Yay your husband came on!! You are so motivating Cas, thank you so much! I purged tupperware yesterday, and food. But I didn't know what to purge today. Water bottles duh!! Thanks again.

Let's be honest! Who else just wanted to take on those adorable mugs that Cas has? I could ADD to my collection when I need to purge it!!!

very practical declutter items that I could relate to, one of my problems is being single, but feeling like I have to keep at least enough for four people in case I have visitors.....

Apart from your organizational skills, I love your energy and sense of humor. You always make me laugh!

Love it, by the way love you and the minimal mom, my two favorite KZfaq peeps. So funny you guys ended up friends and made a cool system together 🤗

I've found so many "other" uses for kitchen items. Those mugs I would use as pen holders or hold small items in my sewing room. I actually have my sewing scissors in my Dad's pewter beer mug. Reminds me of the holiday to Malaysia where he bought this back in the 80s. He's been gone 18 yrs now. I use Mum's cut crystal dessert bowls for my jewellery and they sit on or in my dressing table. Those crystal divided plates are also great jewellery holders. Plastic containers without lids are great drawer storage. I love to repurpose things to give them a new and useful life.

Watching you get excited about getting rid of stuff was so satisfying!

I just love watching you. Your enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air! Also, the Take Back Your Home course is awesome! Thank you so much for all you do!

Loved this! I will be purging my kitchen starting today! Yes! In my home, any plastic lids or shallow lidless containers go to my art/craft room. They are great for holding certain items that may or may not wander before I’m finished LoL Plastic lids are great paint palettes

I've TOTALLY felt messy my whole life!! The struggle is reeeeal!!! 😭 I also have the memory of a gnat ....lol! This was an amazing video! Thank you! 💕

My husband of 45 years has always gone through everything I attempt to purge. To save the inevitable arguments, I made the mistake of telling him he could keep anything he wanted but he had to keep it out of my site. Problem is that now the basement is so full of boxes that it is unusable. Yesterday he brought up a set of those original Campbells soup mugs and a box of utensils with red wooden handles. I realized that what was just clutter is now antique clutter! I still don’t want it....lol. I enjoyed seeing how you reacted with your husband over what he wanted to keep. Loved the video!

You look awesome Cass! The hair, outfit, jewelry 😍 yay for all the tips on Tupperware storage and for pots and pans!

With the pens, I can top that: I can’t throw away gift cards when I’ve used them up. I mean, I have to work HARD to let them go. Subconsciously, I must think they might magically refill!

We have the nice A-list mugs in the mug cupboard, and then the b-list mugs down below that can be used for going into the shed or outside the fire that we don’t care if they get smashed. Otherwise they are out.

Look at you, using Dana's container method! One in and one outing! Practicing what you preach! You go, girl! I also know every word to BR and will belt it, willingly and enthusiastically, at the drop of a hat. It is the Best Song!

"I have 2.. Dawn would say none.. I'm gonna keep 2" 🤣🤣🤣

I've used some of those cute small mugs that are useless as muhs as pen holders

Starting with mugs, why you gotta do me like that? 😄 Pen roulette? YES

Omg your hubby is adorable! It's so awesome seeing his little grins & his responses to you...because he totally "gets you". I love that!!

Yes! Serrated knives for tomato! I’m with joe on this one, sorry Cas! Haha. Try it!

Great tips! I just posted a video where i decluttered and organized my pantry 🙏🏻🌻 having a simplified kitchen is amazing. Great way to start the year!

Oh KZfaq. Always listening. I just started decluttering my kitchen, one cabinet at a time this morning. And here this video just drops in my feed.

So funny what you said at the end about Bohemian Rhapsody. I played piano as a kid and that is the ONLY song that I remember. Lol. It was so good. I don't remember song lyrics either. Love your channel. Thanks for helping.

I will disagree having a back up can opener is a must.

You have a container that keeps pens? Envy! Our cat makes sure that pens in this house are on the floor where she thinks they belong. Under couches or closet doors is even better. (Yes, we keep some out of her reach. But leave one on a table, and it's gone.)

Love love love the real talk with hubby lol

My first Clutterbug video...love it!

The red handled knife is for cutting floral/craft styrofoam.

Haha I spent a minute explaining to my kids "she said mother clucker!!!"

you and your hubby at the end are so adorable. Yay! I love your decluttering/organizing series that you do.

Omgosh Cas!!! Just did this!!!! For real! Yesterday! So awesome!!

Oh, the aha moment of "I can move these things to a better location!" How many things are just sitting in our cabinets because they wound up there at some point?

If a person cannot sing every word of bohemian rhapsody then that person is suspect...

I LOVE the tip to rearrange areas if my kitchen if I need to. So good!

it's so lovely to see you sweet hubby!

Keep those wine glasses. Everything tastes better in a wine glass.

I was hoping that you were about to actually sing it. I'm a little dissapointed. lol

Thanks for sharing your great tips!!! I love how you did the baking and hanging of the measuring items on the cabinets that looks great🤗

That recipe binder idea is everything!

I absolutely love your stories!

It makes so much sense to some your kitchen. Thank you

OMG! the pens!!! My MIL took a "free" pen every time (at least weekly) she went to the bank. I freaked out when I opened the desk one day and saw the 4000 identical pens! Hoarder, hoarder!! TY, fun and needed vid!

You have a great personality, and these tips were so helpful!
