Another LPT - if you buy a NEW one of something, give an old one away or sell the old one.
Example: blankets and bedspreads. If I need/want a new bedspread I force myself to give an older one away. Having not done that for many years I have accumulated multiple comforters and bedspreads. I keep them because they have sentimental value and because I spent good money on those. But as a single person, do I really need six bedspreads? I do not.
But that's a good way to get clutter gone. Give away something every time you buy a new something, and that includes, many times, CLOTHING.
Like, I still have clothing items I bought at the thrift stores 11 years ago. Why? They still fit! But lately I've been trying to replace those old thrift store clothes as I can with new items.

I can't imagine wanting a new blanket. The only two criteria I use are "clean and warm" and those take a long time to fail.
