PROJECT: CLEAN HOUSE 40 Bags in 40 Days part II

I started on the kitchen today in my 40 Bags in 40 Days.  If you've been following for a while, you know that I organized my pantry just a few months ago.  Well, of course, it got away from me again.

I started looking at all of the expiration dates and I saw these two:  20 July 2007 and 21 October 2004.  Ok, now I will own the 20 Jul 2007 even though I don't think it can be possible since we have moved twice since then and I just clean this thing out but the 21 October 2004-there is NO WAY!  That is before I even met Scott and is actually two years to the day of my anniversary in 2006.

Here it is after cleaning out again. 

Here are some of the items that I only use a couple of times a year so I moved them downstairs.  The blender is shot so it went into the trash pile.

After the pantry, I moved on to the seasoning cabinet. 

All of these items were trashed because they were over the expiration date.

We buy a lot of bulk items from Costco so there were several boxes that just had a couple of bags of whatever left in it so I consolidated a lot, threw away old stuff and things we didn't like or didn't eat.  Here's what I ended up with for trash:

I didn't get to the refrigerator today but that will be over the weekend.  Next room, dining room.

Stay tuned.  If you are playing along, let me know!
