Here's just a snapshot of the top of my bathroom trash bin, of things cleaned out of the ol' "linen closet". Since this is next to my bathroom, it's no surprise that there are a lot of drug store items. (On a side note, why do we keep medicine in the bathroom?)
- Snore relief throat strips. I am a violently loud snorer. Yes, it can happen to skinny people too. I have tried many anti-snoring products out on the market. This was one of them. They didn't help much. I suppose I was keeping them in the hope that they might magically start to work if I used the rest of the box, but it's time to pitch these. (On a side note, I did end up curing my snoring problem. But that was after I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and fitted with a CPAP machine. Maybe I'll blog about it someday.)
- Expired over-the-counter drugs. Check your cabinet. You may very well have some of these too. Though I seriously have to wonder if they date these things to expire in less than a year, just to make you buy the stuff again for every cold-n-flu season.
- Shaving cream. I don't know where I got this from. I don't know how long I've had it. I don't think I've ever used it. And I don't think I'm going to use it. Why? Because I shave with an electric. And my days of using shaving cream on Halloween night are well over. Just because you don't use it up, is no excuse to keep a product you never use. Into the trash you go.
- Trojan Ultra-Thins (economy-sized box, now empty). Highly recommended.
- Mini brush. I've gotten a number of hair brushes over the years, namely because I've gone on vacations where I got to my destination and realized "Crap, I forgot to pack my hair brush". I think this tiny thing came free with a regular sized brush. But really, what the heck is this for? Forget "travel size", this thing is too small to use. It's not even "hobbit size". I'm just letting this die a graceful death. Into the trash you go.
