Did you have 2 blenders, donated the extra blender b/c it took up space/unused, and now you wish you had it b/c your 1st one just died?

You should have a tertiary blender in case the backup fails. What happens during a blending emergency?

Having only three could be playing with fire if you're having a margarita party and there's a power surge.

Seven blenders minimum. This girl is not getting caught blender-less at any cost.

I store mine on DH's side of the closet. Moved his clothes to the garage. It works for us.

This is making me lol on a Monday morning. Thank you ladies!

It was a popsicle mold **ducks**

Obvs it did not cost $50, that’s just my running total. The other thing was hooks for the garage that I’m pretty sure I purged thinking I didn’t need any more.

Oh I purged popsicle molds finally and also those silicone freezy sleeves popsicle molds. Don't miss 'em and haven't replaced (yet). I got rid of an electric skillet and I quite miss it. It had a broken handle and we were moving, so out it went. I might break down...

These days if I need a popsicle mold, I go on Buy Nothing and ask if I can borrow it from someone.

One thing that has freed me is Amazon. Can you imagine what a PITA it would be to try to buy popsicle molds in a store? Almost nothing you might purge is irreplaceable now and replacing most of it will be really easy. So there’s a $ and environmental cost but I have not had to replace much and the big purge was definitely worth it.

There's an environmental and dollar cost to devoting storage space to things you don't need.
