How I did it: I went through my cabinets and determined that pretty much anything I hadn't used in a year needed to be donated to someone who would use it. I let friends and family go through it first and then I gave the rest of it away to charity and freecycle.

Lessons & tips: Make doubly sure that it's stuff you KNOW you aren't going to use. And be hard on yourself, are you keeping it because you think maybe one day you will use it or are you keeping it because you just want stuff?
