Some suggestions are what I would call 'classic', as in everyone says to do them. Turn your hangers around in your closet, and only turn them around after you've worn something; toss whatever you haven't worn at the end of the season. Only buy the food you will use in the next few days. Sure, anyone going to use an entire bunch of cilantro by Friday?
Some comments are reasonable. I have far too many plastic containers (yes, they all have covers), but no, I won't necessarily put the pot with the leftovers in the refrigerator to eat the next day for breakfast. I do have too many knives, because I inherited a set of Henkels from a friend of mine, thinking they would be better than the ones I had, but I didn't sharpen either of the sets, so now I have too many (dull) knives. Good catch. There are two of us, but does that mean we should only have two bowls? And how does keeping your cupboards and refrigerator bare, shopping for your meals each day, actually save time? and so forth.
