Trash, Garbage, Refuse, Junk

September 23, 2010 By Lena

I was scrolling through my archives and came across this post, which includes one of my very favourite quotes. Keep reading for an awesome deal on storage solutions at Zellers.

A few years ago, while quietly enjoying my essential Tall-Nonfat-Caramel-Macchiato, I read a quote on a Starbucks Coffee cup which affected me so profoundly that I cut it out and framed it. It was from their “The Way I See It” list of quotes. Here’s what it said:

“It’s difficult for people to get rid of junk. They get attached to things and let them define who they are. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you are what you can’t let go of.”

Brian Scudamore, President, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

Oh boy. You wouldn’t want to know what is defining me at the moment. Let’s pretend that 500-pack of business cards from 2002 will one day serve me well… of course, that would require me getting rehired by the same organization for the same role… um, I don’t even think the company is around anymore. Purge.

Every year after the Christmas holidays I go through the same routine – file away the important stuff and clear away the junk. It normally includes dumping the contents of purses, closets, pockets, boxes and storage cubes in an attempt to separate the essentials from the rubbish.

So it seems like a good time to stock up on the storage gear necessary for the job. This week at Zellers (September 24th thru 30th), save on the following:

Get Sorted Underbed Box with Wheels, Reg $29.99 for $9.99 (Save $20!)
Get Sorted 5-Drawer Cart, Reg $39.99 for $19.99 (1/2 Price!)
Get Sorted 63L Tote, Reg $9.99 for $4.99 (1/2 Price!)
Rubbermaid 106L Hinged Tote, Reg 12.99 for $6.99 (2 days only; Sat/Sun)
Rubbermaid 189L Jumbo Tote, Reg $24.99 for $14.99 (Save 40%)
Closetmaid 9-Cube Storage Organizer, Reg $69.99 for $35.99 (2 days only; Sat/Sun)

Junk Be Gone!

    Lena,I applaud your self-awareness and initiative. It’s a good feeling to keep things organized and uncluttered. As well from a Feng Shui, law of attraction perspective (if you believe those), clearing clutter allows the energy to flow better and more room to welcome new things into one’s life…

    Hey AC – totally agree. With three little ones growing up in this house we have no room for the "PAST" !!! We need all the room we can get for their FUTURES…
