Like the old chicken nugget ad said: 'Parts is parts.'
I'm sure I've got some sauce in the fridge that would spice that chicken right up.

As usual I'm late to the party. This thread is a hoot! I'm going to look for some matching items right now!

I'll match the shampoo items with old, icky makeup: foundation that separated years ago, eye shadow that won't even come up on the brush, and an ancient eyelash curler. Now we'll all be beautiful for the party.

I just matched the expired fridge items with a jar of cocktail sauce that has overstayed its welcome since last May. How do these expired things escape our notice?
I also finally bought new mascara this afternoon, but only because my daughter was with me and asked for a new one because she had dropped and broken hers. So, I treated me, too. I usually think about buying new, but feel frivolous about spending money on new things for myself when I have perfectly good old stuff. Ahem. I think my newest is at least 3 or 4 years old, and the other must be from 6 or 7 years ago. They gotta go party hardy in the landfill. :-)

I am sadly tossing a favorite sweater. It's red with navy sequins. It once made a fashion statement that I liked. Now it SCREAMS "Di is a hoarder!! Because the navy has washed off the sequins in spots, leaving them looking somewhat pathetic! I do not like looking like I've been shopping in the dumpster (even though I might have been--I don't want to be obvious) So the "perfectly good" (other than the sequins) sweater has to go join the camel toe shorts!!!

Ohblondie, Cyn moved into a vacant property just to score the Ugly Quilt Cover! She waited, pounced, and now returned to her secret hideaway! I wish we were neighbours, I would rather tidy anyone's place but mine. By the way, get inspired by googling CLEAN FREAKS videos, people who organise and label EVERYTHING. It got me moving today! In view of my weight loss, it would be fun to also match our Landfill Party donations with our weight or body mass! I can't say how thrilled I am to lose some, it has STUCK with me for years and now it is moving. I weighed myself 7 times to actually believe it.

TML that is wonderful. We'll take it all, whatever it is. I'll match you partway with half a bag, maybe i can get a whole one by trash day. Thank you, the party is going to be great. We can pile up all your bags and make a lovely centerpiece.
