Get your clutter GONE with the help of Whole Foods

I married a pack-rat.  This was not disclosed to me pre-nuptually of course, but after five years of marriage, the rose has fallen off the bloom and the sad truth is DOUG CAN NOT THROW ANY THING AWAY.  EVER.

And it isn’t just magazines and old baseball tickets – it’s everything!  Old computers (REALLY old), fax machines (who faxes anymore?), every keyboard he has ever owned, telephones (OH THE TELEPHONES!)…the list goes on and on and on.  Some of the stuff he claims are backups, others he’s going to “fix” someday….right around the twelfth of never.

So when I heard Whole Foods Cincinnati was offering a E-Cycle event I was already mentally calculating how much I could sneak out of the house before Doug will notice.  If you’ve got the same issues in your household, take this opportunity to Clean the clutter! And do so for free!
