101 Ways to Save Money

Let’s face it. At the end of the day we’d all like to have more money in our pocket. Some of us need it more than others, but for everyone it would be a nice thing. iMoneyCoach has put together a list of 101 great ways to save money. You may have heard of a few of these ideas, but we can guarantee there are some new ones on the list. So check it out and see how these money-saving ideas can help you get ahead.

 

On Food

1. Buy in Bulk – Often the packaging and processing of food that you can buy in large quantities, in bulk, makes it cheaper. Be sure to check prices at your local grocery store and then at your warehouse store to see which is a better deal (remember to divide the price by the number of ounces to get a price per ounce that you can compare). Costco and Sam’s Club have some great deals on bulk items like rice, milk, canned soups, meat, etc.

2. Stick to Your List – Before you go to the grocery store, make a list of what you are going to get based on what you are going to eat that week. Then when you get to the store, stick to that list. This will help you avoid impulse buys that can rack up your total. A great app that you can use online and on your Smartphone is Remember the Milk (it’s great for grocery lists and all your other to-do items).

3. Don’t go shopping when you are hungry, especially when there are samples at the store. Nothing tastes better than the hot sample at the store when you are ready to eat. You buy the product, take it home, and later find out it’s not as tasty as you remembered. When you are not hungry, you can be sensible about the food you buy and, again, avoid impulse buys.

4. Eat In More, Eat Out Less – Unless you eat from the dollar menu and get water or share a drink, eating out can be pretty pricey. Try eating out less than you do now. Maybe cut out one dining out experience a week. Look for some tasty new recipes to make eating at home more fun. For example, try out a new pizza recipe.

5. Cook Meals You Can Freeze. You don’t have to cook full meals, but you can freeze meatballs, broths, soups, etc. Then you can use up those items you purchased in bulk or not have to throw out any unused ingredients. Here are some tips to fix and freeze meals.

6. Clip Coupons. Coupons are an EASY way to save money. You can clip them from ads in the newspaper or print them online. Stores like King Soopers offer a way to load coupons onto your SooperCard online so you get the savings when you swipe your card.

7. Shop the “weekly specials” ads. Aside from clipping coupons, you can easily save money by watching the local deals each week. When planning your menu and shopping list, keep in mind the items that are on sale (but remember, not everything that is on sale is a good deal).

8. Buy store brands. The packaging may not be as exciting, but store brands can be just as good as name brands. Try a bowl of Apple Dapples instead of AppleJacks in the morning, and you can start your day off knowing you saved money and get the same great apple-deliciousness.

 

On Your Car

9. Take it in for regular maintenance. Keeping your car up-to-date with the recommended maintenance from the manufacturer can keep it running better so you avoid costly repairs later on. Be sure to also see how to save for emergencies in case your car does break down or need repairs because even with regular maintenance, it could happen..

10. Save up for your next car so you can pay cash. Dave Ramsey often gets credit for telling people to save up and pay cash for their next car, but it really is a common-sense rule. If you can pay cash, you avoid spending thousands of dollars on interest on a car loan. When you pay cash you also avoid the burden of being tied down in debt by that car loan.

11. Get gas where it’s cheaper. Now, it is certainly not cost effective to drive 2 miles to save a few cents per gallon on gas, but if you know which gas stations along your route provide cheaper gas, then you can save some money. Remember that pennies add up. And you can check sites like GasBuddy.com to see where to get the best prices.

12. Shop around for insurance. It is a good idea to shop around and check prices on insurance each year to make sure you are not paying too much. Always be sure that you are checking comparable products and that you are keeping enough coverage. Some companies offer huge discounts, but when you look at the coverage you are losing it is just not worth it.

13. Pay your insurance in full when the bill comes (either annually or semi-annually). You will save money by paying the full balance rather than incurring fees each month for partial payments. $4 here and there doesn’t seem like a lot, but it adds up.

 

Around the House

14. Unplug electronic devices that are not in use. Unfortunately when something is plugged in, there is still electricity running to it. It’s almost like leaving a faucet dripping when you aren’t using it. Unplug those items (like computers, TVs, cell phone chargers, toasters, CD players, coffee pots, etc.) to save energy and lower your electric bill.

15. Switch to energy-efficient lights or LEDs. Not only is this better for the environment, but you will save money on your electric bill and on your shopping bill. These lights may be a little more expensive at first, but over the long run you will not have to continually dish out money to buy replacement bulbs.

16. Turn down the thermostat 1 degree. You’ve all heard this one before, but it’s a good one. Lowering your thermostat just 1 degree can end up saving you a lot. Try 2 or 3 degrees – wear a sweater, cuddle up with a blanket and a good book, and see how much you can save.

17. Open the windows and use fans in the summer. A good way to cool down your house is to open the windows at night or in the early morning so the cooler air can flow through. Then before it starts getting too warm outside, shut all the windows to keep that cool air in. Fans are another good way to get that air circulating, and they use much less energy than the air conditioner.

18. Have a garage sale. Ok, this isn’t really a way to save money, but you can make money this way and de-clutter.

19. Shop around for service providers. In my neighborhood, we aren’t required to have one specific trash removal company. And there are several competing for business, so I have been able to shop around and get the lowest price. You can do this for trash pick-up, lawn services, plumbers, etc.

20. DIY. Yes, there are times when you should call the plumber, but often there are things you could learn from watching a YouTube video or reading a little bit. For example, need a nice-looking headboard? Learn how to make one yourself.

21. Simple home maintenance like re-caulking windows or changing the furnace filter regularly can save money on energy consumption.

22. Organize the dollar store way. When my daughter started getting more toys than we knew what to do with, I made a trip to the dollar store. They have tons of baskets and shoe-box size storage containers (with lids!) that I can use to organize all of her toys. It’s so much cheaper than buying those bins for anywhere from $5-$10 at the store. And it gives me a way to keep the house clean by only letting her get a new bin out when the old one is picked up and put away.

23. Keep your yard GREEN by using less water. With this lawn tonic recipe your yard is sure to look good. Each of the ingredients provides a specific benefit, from killing bugs to promoting growth, they are all great for your yard.

 

On Clothing

24. Shop the clearance rack. Nothing is worse than buying clothes and coming back a week later to see them marked down to almost nothing. When shopping for clothes, you can find some really great deals in the clearance racks and still look great.

25. Use coupons. Again, watching the newspaper, websites, and email can save you money. Khol’s has a great way to get people in the store by offering $10 “cash” coupons. If you can keep yourself from impulse buying and shop the sale racks, this can be a good way to save. I recently used a $10 coupon to buy a pair of shoes for my daughter that were on sale for $13.99. I figure $4 for a good pair of shoes isn’t too bad.

26. Check out your local thrift store. It may take a little time to sort through the clothes to find what you want, but you can find some really great items there for next to nothing.

27. Participate in a clothing swap. There are official swaps, but you can set up your own. Get a whole group of women together and tell them to bring a bunch of clothes they don’t want or wear anymore. Then everyone can browse through and pick out “new” items they like.

28. Mix and match outfits. Do you NEED a new shirt to go with that skirt? Or do you have one in the back of the closet that you normally wear with another skirt, but it will match with this one? Try mixing up your outfits to create new looks so you don’t feel that NEED for new clothes as often.

29. Learn to sew. No, you don’t have to sew whole articles of clothing, although that would be a good money-saver. But there used to be a time when people would sew or patch clothes when they got worn. There are cute patches now and ways to cover up the fix. Oftentimes, you can fix a hole in a seam without anyone ever knowing – so don’t throw out that shirt. Grab a needle and thread.

 

Shopping Online

30. Compare prices. There are many sites out there like PriceGrabber, Bizrate, and Nextag that can help you make sure you are getting the best price on the item you want to buy. No sense paying a high price if you can get it somewhere else cheaper.

31. Do a “coupon code” search. It takes 30 seconds, and you can save a lot of money. When you find an item you want, open a new browser and go to your favorite search engine. Type in the store name + “coupon code” or “promo code” or just “code” and see what comes up. Often you can find codes for free shipping or a percentage off your order. I bought a crib online at a well-known store site (ok, it was Sears), and not only was it on sale but I found a promo code for free shipping! I was ecstatic because not only did I save about $200, but I didn’t even have to go to the store and worry about tying the crib to the roof of my car!

32. Timing. Many ecommerce sites change their prices throughout the week. There are a couple of ways you can save money by buying when prices are low. If you can (you can on Amazon), save the item you want to your wishlist and check back often to see if the price has dropped. Or you can use a website like Shopobot to see their data and prediction of when the price will drop.

33. Don’t impulse buy! Impulse buying can be enough of a monster when you are out shopping, but when you are clicking through websites, it can really cause trouble. When you get online to shop, have a list of what you want to get and the price you are willing to pay (and that fits in your budget). And stick to it!

34. Combine items to lower price or shipping. Often if you buy a couple of items from the same merchant, they will lower the shipping fee or give you a discount. This is especially true on sites like Etsy.

35. This doesn’t really save you money up front, but you do get back some of what you spend. There are sites like Ebates that offer you a percentage back from your purchase. They get a referral fee for sending you to websites like Target, Barnes & Noble, Kohls, and more.

 

On Entertainment

36. Check your local museum, swimming pool, or zoo for free days. They may be a little more busy, but it can be worth it. Some sites offer a comprehensive list (like this one for Denver) that shows the free museum days in your city for the entire year.

37. Buy a membership. Sometimes you want to visit the museum or zoo more than once a month or so on free days. In that case, it might be worth it to go ahead and buy a membership. You can usually make up the cost in a couple of visits and then go practically for free the rest of the year. It would cost our family of 4 $42 to go to the zoo right now for one visit, but with a membership at $90 we can all go PLUS take one of the kids’ grandparents along for FREE each time. In 2 trips we’ve recovered the cost, and since we love the zoo we can go every week now.

38. Netflix. Although they recently raised prices, using Netflix to rent movies or stream shows directly to your TV can be a great way to save money (i.e. $15 a month is a lot cheaper than taking your family of 4 out to the movies at $10 a ticket, plus movie theater priced snacks).

39. Free concerts. Check your local parks or botanic gardens or even outdoor malls to see when there are free concerts near you. Pack the family a picnic and enjoy a nice evening outdoors together listening to some great music.

40. Geocaching. If you love to be outdoors but haven’t tried geocaching yet, you are in for a treat. Geocaching is sort of a hide-and-seek treasure-finding activity that millions of people participate in around the world. You’d be surprised how many of these treasures are hidden near you.

41. Visit the local library. Not only do they have more books than you could probably read in a lifetime, but now you can check out media types like music, audiobooks, and movies. And they are all FREE. Instead of buying books and reading them once only to have them sit on your shelves getting dusty, go borrow some books from the library.

42. Have friends over and play games. Instead of going out, have everyone over for a night of fun and games.

43. Call your local cable provider. You would be surprised at the money you can save just by calling Customer Service and asking for a better deal. And when they run specials that only last 3 or 6 months, call back when those are up to get another deal. Yes, it does seem like a hassle to keep calling, but is 15 minutes of your time worth $50 or $100?

44. DIY Manis and Pedis. Invite the girls over and enjoy an evening of pampering together. Take turns doing each others manis and pedis, watch a movie you all love (who wouldn’t want to miss watching Pretty Woman again?), and pop some popcorn. It is a lot cheaper than going to the salon, and you can enjoy building deeper relationships with friends.

45. Get rid of the landline in favor of just having your cell phone and using online services like Skype or FaceTime to keep in touch.

46. Throw a FREE party! Sites like Houseparty.com are popping up where big companies want people to try out their brands to spread the word about new products. That means that you can sign up to host a party and they will send you a whole party package full of their goodies for you to share. It’s a great way to get together with friends without spending a lot.
On Travel

47. Check out the Bing Travel Predictor that lets you know when it’s the right time to buy your travel tickets. They give you a history of the airfare and a recommendation on whether you should wait or buy now.

48. Last minute vacations. If you live near a cruise line, you know you can get some great deals by showing up on the day of the cruise. Internet companies like Hotwire have places for you to search for some great deals last minute.

49. Rewards cards. If you pay your credit card bill on time and in full each month, then there is no reason you shouldn’t sign up for a rewards card and get bonuses for your spending. Cards like the Southwest Rapid Rewards offer a great easy way for you to build up travel passes and save hundreds on your trips.
On Christmas

50. Who wants cookies? Christmastime can sometimes strain the budget as you try to give gifts to everyone, but you can save big and give a treat they will enjoy simply by spending a day baking (instead of a day shopping). I have found that often the dollar store will have perfect Christmas tins for putting the cookies in too. For an added bonus, print out the recipe and tie it to the ribbon on the wrapping.

51. Make a list and stick to it. This is similar to another item above, but you can save so much money simply by making a list of who you are going to buy presents for, putting an amount next to each name, and sticking to it. You can plan out your purchases ahead of time this way and not get stuck spending too much on one person, or making a bunch of little purchases in addition to regular gifts just to make it up to everyone else that you spent a bunch on someone on accident.

52. Donations. In America we have more stuff than we often know what to do with (hence the incredible amount of garage sales and sites like eBay and Craigslist). Instead of giving each other more holiday sweaters and another necktie this year, try doing family donations. As a family or extended family, make donations in each other’s names. Then on Christmas share which charity you picked and why. It feels good to help others and not get bogged down with more stuff.

53. Use cash. Studies have shown that we spend a lot more when paying with a credit card than we do if we put our hard-earned cash on the counter. Save up some cash for your Christmas shopping (ok, for any shopping trips) and avoid overspending and racking up credit card debt.

54. Have a family pool or “Secret Santa.” That way you can still buy a pretty nice gift (and get one), but you don’t have to try to spread your Christmas funds across the entire family or extended family.
On Health

55. Grow a garden. It can be expensive to buy a lot of fruits and veggies, although you will lower your costs on doctor’s visits and other health-related expenses by eating better. So to combat the cost of healthy groceries, try planting a garden. Plant things that you can harvest at different times so you can spread out your harvest along a greater period of time. This is a great way to get the kids involved and excited about eating healthy as well.

56. Drink water. You can save a lot of money by avoiding sodas and fruit drinks that cost a lot. Water is free – can’t beat that! It will also keep you healthier and feeling better. The benefits of drinking water are incredible.

57. Use a water bottle. If you are going to start saving money and being healthier by drinking water, be sure to get a water bottle you can reuse instead of buying plastic disposable bottles that cost money and are bad for the environment.

58. Get to know your neighborhood. Instead of spending so much on a gym membership or a treadmill that we all know will end up just sitting there collecting dust, try walking or running around your own neighborhood. Getting some fresh air will make you feel great, and staying in shape can help you avoid doctor’s bills and higher insurance premiums.

59. Ride your bike. If you live close to work or other places you can ride your bike to, then do it. Again, this will keep you healthy and keep your health-related costs low. It will also save you gas money and car-related expenses.
On Kids

60. Re-use clothes. If you can sew or have a close friend or family member who would help you out, you can rummage through your child’s closet to find a few things that can be re-made into new outfits. Check out this page with lots of ideas to reuse children’s clothing.

61. Keep your child or toddler in the cart with something to do when you go shopping. Ever wonder why all the coolest toys and sugary cereals are on the bottom shelf at the store? It’s not so you have to reach down. It’s so your kids will ask and whine and beg for them when they see these things at eye level. Try keeping your child or toddler up and away from these tempting treats. And bring along something for them to do in the cart, like a small toy to play with or little snack to eat.

62. Put money in a savings account for college. Be sure you talk with your financial advisor, but you can start a 529 college savings plan or an IRA and get tax benefits now.

63. Have your kids buy their own toys. Now this doesn’t mean you can’t buy them treats, but teach them the value of saving up their allowance or lemonade stand money to buy that new bike or video game they want.

64. Consignment stores are your friend. It’s amazing how fast kids can go through toys and clothes. Often there’s no sense in buying certain things new because it will be so fast. Get to know your local consignment store where you can both sell your kids’ old stuff and buy new stuff much cheaper than in the department store.

65. Make your own food. Baby food and other foods like applesauce that come in little pint-sized packages are nice for your little one, but if you can spare a little time you can save a lot of money by making your own. You can even make your own individual apple sauces by buying a big jar or making your own apple puree then filling up a block ice cube tray and freezing them. Then when you want one serving for your child you just take that out and thaw it.

66. Don’t buy new toys. That sounds weird, but instead take a look at things you have that might interest the kids. That old refrigerator box in the basement is a perfect playhouse. Wrapping paper tubes, paper plates, macaroni and glue, you name it – you have hours and hours of fun in your house if you get creative.

67. Don’t spend a fortune on the kids’ birthday parties. Here are some great ideas of ways to save money on a fun birthday party for your child.
With Your Financial System

68. Get out of debt. The money you are spending on interest could be going towards much better thins, and I’m sure you know that. Even if you have to spend a little bit to learn how to get out of debt and stay out, the long-term benifits are more than worth it. iMoneyCoach offers some great online finance courses that help you get out of debt for good and learn how to live a life you love.

69. Set up a change jar. Put a jar somewhere in the house where all family members can put their change. Instead of spending change on useless or cheap items when you are out (and even things like soda that you can just skip instead), put your change in the change jar. This can be used as savings for a vacation or towards Christmas shopping or family nights out.

 

70. Track your spending. It’s one thing to sit down and make a budget with certain amounts you can spend on certain categories. It’s another thing to actually stick to those amounts. When you are out shopping, have a notebook with you that you can use to write down expenses and see how much you have available at any given time or use a pre-formatted tracking book. When you can see right away if you have the money to spend on a purchase, you can save money easily.

71. Sleep on it. If you are planning on making a big purchase (you can try this with small purchases too!), sleep on it. Twice. Wait 48 hours and see if you are still as excited about the item. If not, then you’ll be glad you didn’t spend the money.

72. Know what’s in your home. It’s a good idea to do a home inventory of all the valuable items in your home. This way if you are ever robbed or suffer a catastrophe, you will have this information for insurance purposes (be sure to keep it somewhere in a safe or outside your home). The West Virginia Insurance Commission provides a PDF here that you can print and fill out with your home inventory. It is a comprehensive list that goes room by room, making the process easier.

73. Get a credit report. Each year you can obtain a free credit report from the 3 major credit reporting bureaus (www.annualcreditreport.com is the only website authorized by the Federal Trade Commission to offer this). Check this report to see if there is anything that looks suspicious or could be fraud. Stopping identity theft early can save you a lot of headache and possibly a lot of money.
On Relationships

74. Go on a cheap date, or a free date. There are LOTS of things to do together that don’t require spending a lot of money. Enjoy a hike or walk in the park. Spend time getting to know each other while doing a jigsaw puzzle. You’ll develop a much better relationship than you will sitting in a theater staring at a screen.

75. Sometimes a little help or manual labor can go further than flowers. If you want to get her a nice gift, offer to do the laundry or mop the floor this week while she puts her feet up. You’ll save money and earn some brownie points.

76. Set a monthly budget for your dates. If the relationship is going to be a lasting one, you’ll have to talk about money eventually. Start early by setting a budget you can both be happy with. While you’re communicating, be sure to share if you have a spending problem so the other person knows up front. It’s good to be honest from the start.

77. The big day. Weddings can be super-expensive. It would take a whole other list to cover this topic, so here are 30 ways to save money on your wedding from MSN. Know that you can cut costs and still enjoy a beautiful day – remember the purpose of your wedding first and foremost.

 

On Your Phone

78. Get rid of your land line. If you can live with just your cell phones, there’s no sense paying for a land line you never use.

79. If you do need a landline or cheap way to make long distance calls without using all your cell phone minutes, try MagicJack, a phone you plug into your computer. It’s only $20 a year (that’s $1.66 a month), and you have a phone number that is yours. So if you are traveling on business people can still call you at that same number, even if you are across the country. Or if you have a student heading off to college, MagicJack can help you save money and keep in touch.

 

At Work

80. Never miss a meeting again. When you use Tungle.me you can sync your calendars for Outlook, Google, Apple iCal, and Facebook. And you can schedule meetings or set up your times so others can schedule meetings with you. With this FREE service you will also increase productivity so you can earn more.

81. Stay home. With the cost of gas, car maintenance, and lost time, telecommuting is a growing trend. Meet with your employer to see if telecommuting, whether full-time or part of the time, is an option.

82. If you are out of work and searching for a new job, many of the expenses you incur are tax deductible. Here’s a great list of tax deductible employment search expenses.

83. Be sure to take advantage of benefits that your company offers. If your employer matches contributions to a 401(k) be sure to contribute up to the full amount that they will match. There’s no sense leaving free money on the table. Even if you don’t have 401(k) matching, you can get tax benefits for making contributions yourself.

84. Take advantage of free food and drink. If your office offers free breakfast or soda and coffee, skip the trip to McDonald’s or Starbucks. It may not taste exactly the same, but the extra money you’ll have in your bank account will make up for that.

85. Company discounts and passes. If you work at a large company, chances are you might have access to some passes or tickets at a discounted price or free. Check to see if your office has any of these passes to amusement parks, museums, movies, etc.

86. Education. If your company will pay for all or part of tuition for continuing education it is a good idea to take them up on that offer. Having a higher degree can put you in a position to earn more or to put you above someone in the case where there are 2 candidates for a job (or job loss!).

 

On Everything Else

87. Daily deal sites. While these sites can cause a problem for impulse spenders, they are great if you watch for items you would already be using (i.e. if you are planning on going out to dinner and spending a certain amount and a deal pops up for that amount or less). You can get any number of deals at sites like Groupon, Restaurant.com, and My Perks.

88. Baby Boomers celebrate. You can get discounts on all sorts of things! If you check for senior discounts at places you shop, there are plenty out there. With age comes wisdom… and great money-saving deals!

89. FREE stuff. This great site has links to all sorts of places you can find free stuff online. And this is not the “try now” type of free, but the actual free, the kind where you don’t have to pay money. There are: FREE eCards to send, personalized radio station, fonts and graphics to download, free (and legal) music, TV shows and movies, photo editing, household items in your neighborhood, games.

90. Ever have trouble deciding where you are going to go eat for your birthday? This site can help you decide. It shows you a list of places where you can get free stuff on your birthday! Just open the page, then click on Adult or Child, narrow down your options by state and category (i.e. restaurants, retailers, entertainment) and see what pops up. You could go bowling, get some free ice cream, then go mini-golfing before you head out for a free meal.

91. Free Wi-Fi. You can now find free Wi-Fi hotspots all over the place if you know where to look. So you can ditch the cable bill or avoid using up all of your data plan by checking for free Wi-Fi near you at Free Wi-Fi Spot and Open Wi-Fi Spot.

92. Avoid gift card traps. If you have gift cards, use them before they expire so you don’t end up losing some or all of the balance (many cards start losing value after 1 year). But don’t go overboard. Just spend the amount of the card.

93. Avoid another gift card trap. When buying gift cards, first make sure there is not a fee for purchase or activation or use. It’s not fun to pay for a gift card when you could buy one somewhere else at no extra cost. And your recipient will be happy if they don’t lost money on their gift card just for using it.

94. Save 50% on everything you buy when you go through Half.com. There are books, textbooks, music, movies, games, and video game consoles. This is a great way to save money on video games for the kids or on college textbooks. At 50% (and often more), the savings can add up fast.

95. Danger-proof your computer for FREE. Here is a list of some recommended software that provides security essentials and can be downloaded for free:
• Antivirus – Alwil Avast Edition 4.7
• Antispyware – Install Microsoft Windows Defender and Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5
• Software firewall – ZoneAlarm 7.0 for Windows XP, 2000 of 7.1 for Vista

96. Make a trade. While we’ve talked about clothing swaps, you could start trading all sorts of items with your friends: books, DVDs, CDs, board games, cookbooks, video games, you name it. Instead of buying everything you want new, at least make a trade and try it out to see if it is something that you will want to keep longterm.

97. Sometimes the mortgage company ends up collecting too much in your escrow account, especially the first year you own a home. When you get a check in the mail, don’t go blow it on a night out just because you have some extra money. Put it in savings or turn around and put that amount towards the principal balance on your mortgage to help pay off your loan faster (you save a lot of money by not paying as much interest when you can pay extra on your principal).

98. Speaking of mortgages. If your loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home and you are still paying Mortgage Insurance (PMI), call your lender to get rid of that. It can save you hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars each year.

99. Get a haircut you can grow into. I don’t mean you have to shave your head, but get a haircut in a style that you can live with for a while so you aren’t heading back to the salon every few weeks. There are many styles out there that are both beautiful and easy to maintain as they grow out.

100. Shop in the off-season. If you need something like a swamp cooler or air conditioner, the best time to buy is in cooler weather when the demand is low so prices are low. You’d be amazed at the deal you can get by getting your item from the top shelf of a store where they have put it until they can pull it out and mark the price up again.

101. Stop paying for a storage unit. This country is overrun with storage units. We feel like we need space for our extra stuff. For some it’s true, but for most of us, it’s time to sort through that unit and get rid of all the junk. If you have something stored for a year and don’t miss it or forget what’s in there, get rid of it.
