Disposable clothes

So you're going through your closet and drawers to get rid of things that you don't need anymore. If you're not using it now, there's no way you want to pay money to haul it somewhere else, right?

Right.

Sort out everything that is still usable that doesn't fit you or that you don't want. Donate it to your favorite local used clothing store. Right now I'm loving the drive-through donation window the Goodwill in my neighborhood runs. The nicer stuff (barely worn baby clothes) I give to friends; you can also have a garage sale or sell to consignment shops. Safe houses for women and children in crisis can also be good places to donate your gently used clothing; when children are removed from meth houses, for example, they can't bring anything with them in case it's contaminated. So those nice baby blankets you never got to use because so many people gave you gifts? Great destination.

Now, you're left with the stuff that's too worn to donate, that has nail polish stains and grass stains, etc. Wait--don't take that out to the curb just yet! Pick out about a week's worth of it if possible, toss it in a box, and save it for that last week. When your washer is gone and you're going to be dirty and smelly from all the hauling and cleaning, you don't want new clothes, anyway. Save the "real" clothes for once you depart (because who knows how long it will take for your moving van to arrive at your new house?). Wear the old. At the end of each day, just peel them off and drop them in the trash. Voila! Laundry problem solved!
