Storage space is also our problem. I have two large plastic storage containers under my double bed, extra shoes, purses, etc. I should get them picked up by goodwill but just haven't done it Most of the shoes are almost new,only worn once or twice, bought before I had my fall. I would like to give them to someone I know but so far they don't wear the same size.8 1/2 narrow mostly summer sandals (SAS brand).Different colors. Our pantry is jammed as well as the two refrigerats with freezers. Shelves in the garage are pretty full, could really use another room on the house or a triple garage instead of the double we have. My kids were down from Colorado a couple of weeks ago and I gave them a few things however, they don't have any extra space, either. I don't shop anymore so I don't keep up with prices. The only way to get them down is refusing to buy them. Of course, they are adding the high transportation costs to everything.
