What’s in My Trash? 2023 Year End Wrap Up

My concrete goal was to use up $2400 worth of stuff and my soft goal was to end the year with less stuff then I started with. I successfully accomplished both of those goals.

I ended up with overall 55 less items then I started the year with. This year I definitely want to do better but we will get into that at the end after we look at all the data.

Final Results

Compared to 2022

Much better last year for sure.

Final Totals By Month and Category

I don’t know what happened in January but I used up like nothing.

Pie Charts

As usual Skincare makes up the most amount of what I used up.

And as usual I pay the most for Home Scent products nothing really new here.

Overall I reduced my stash by 55 items which is good but not great. That’s a reduction of about 4.5 items a month.


This year I want to have about a 10% reduction in my hoard so I have to use up 124 items in addition to anything new that comes in. I’m not really trying to hit a money goal this year I just really want to reduce the size of my collection and try to declutter more things when I am not enjoying them.
