All my clothes are from other family members. Some still in packaging. Now I am overwhelmed with clothing. So of course donate or pass on. Can I?

Clothes banks, 5 minute walk away. Gone!

Swishing? Pah! Seems as much fun as Clothing Sales Frenzy …

  • Each day you could put some in a bin/box at the gate with a sign saying "help yourself" and see if there are any takers....Or if local charity shops are open, donated them...

    Alternatively you could sell them on Vinted and use the money as dana for your favorite temple…

    Yeah baby!

    Well done @lobster, a happy second home found for the shirts!

  • use - 6 pair pants/jeans
    1 set shorts
    5 shirts
    2 jackets
    keep 1 suit because sometimes must use..
    Have: two closets/2.5 dressers and a cabinet of acquired clothes
    Used to have more, but slowly divesting clothing inventory.
    Weird thing - Every time I clear the garage, family discovers a new free storage facility
