Sainsbury's shoppers race to store as major garden sale kicks off & items are scanning for just 1p

The post saw the lucky shopper walk out with three trolleys full of garden must-haves and they were each just 1p in Sainsbury's massive garden sale. Emma wrote: "Just thought if anyone else was near a Sainsbury's all their summer plants & kids stuff is 1p!"

Marie Kondo was wrong — decluttering sparks no joy
I have really tried very hard to master the art of decluttering. The process of downsizing my possessions has been going on in a serious fashion for two years. I have been to the tip at least 50 times. Thousands of pounds worth of stuff has gone to charity including three sofas and (largest item) a super king bed. I have read many guides, including Marie Kondo and the less twee manual Nobody Wants Your Sh*t, to the point where I now need to declutter the books on decluttering. I have held up countless items, often looking worse for being seen in actual sunlight, and asked: 'Does this spark joy?' Almost none did. Instead, they sparked regrets (I'm no Piaf) and, at times, guilt.
