12 Things You Should Never Throw Away

Just because you're done revamping your room doesn't mean you won't have use for your paint can. Save it for touch-ups in case hanging your wall art goes wrong or for when you move out.

We're not talking college dorm pieces here. Quality furniture is an investment that should be well-kept and reused. Splurge on pieces that will outlive trends and ones that you can see yourself holding onto for years.

Stash your documents in a folder or make online copies to make sure you always have that information on hand. While some financial papers can be discarded after a certain number of years, items like your birth certificate, marriage license, and social security card should never be tossed.

Honey doesn't expire! If it becomes hard and crystallized, don't throw it away. Simply melt it back to its liquid form by placing the container in hot water over the stove.

You never know when your device or appliance will break down. Manuals have important troubleshooting tips and warranty information that will come in handy. Plus, some manuals have become priceless and are considered valuable antiques.

Just because the party's over doesn't mean you have to pour out the leftover alcohol. Unopened bottles can stay on your bar cart forever, while opened containers are good for up to a year. It won't be as strong, however, since the alcohol will evaporate over time.

Pots, pans, and appliances take up space, but they will always be needed. You may think you only need a couple for basics, but you'll realize when you're cooking a full meal that more is better.

Emergencies are never planned, so always keep your first aid kit around the house. Even if it's been unused for quite some time, you'll always find use for bandages. Do update your antiseptics every few years so that you're not applying expired products.

There are unlimited uses for mason jars from storage containers to decor. Seriously, you can never have enough.

Having a stash of spare buttons will save your clothes down the line. Keep them all in a small pouch so that you have an emergency bank for future use.

Once you get a small tool kit, you can hold onto it forever, wherever you move. You'll appreciate it for small handiwork around the house, putting together furniture, hanging wall pieces, or anything. You'll only regret not having it when you need it.

Quality fashion is timeless. Instead of having to often replace low-quality items, invest in those pricier pieces that will last. It'll be well worth it when you can still wear them as vintage down the line.
