quick tip #1 – remove vhs tapes

by becoming minimalist on July 28th, 2008

we have begun a new series here at becoming minimalist that we call “quick tips.”  three sentences or less to a less-cluttered home.

quick tip #1 – remove vhs tapes from your home.  don’t just store them, remove them.  if you really watch them that often, buy the dvd (it’s better quality picture anyway). 

quick tip #2 – get rid of your vcr too (it’s just taking up space now that you don’t have any vhs tapes).

    Hmmm… I have removed my old beta tapes. However, I still use my 2 VCR’s (they work, why upgrade?) so I’m keeping all those old tapes. Also, the local library still has VHS tapes on their shelves, so sometimes the best way to get movies I haven’t seen is with the VHS tapes (the DVD wait list can get pretty long!).

    I do, however, reuse the VHS tapes until they totally degrade and I have to toss them. I no longer save things on the tapes, I just tape shows I don’t have time to watch right now. And yes, I do watch them!
