Donate good clothing you really can’t use to a non-profit and bank the tax deduction. A good deal on a big bag of fresh lettuce isn’t thrifty if you can’t use it up before it rots. Use the life out of all your appliances, but save up enough money to replace them quickly if they are nearing the end of their lifespan.

Participate in local food drives and donations and involve your kids in your actions. You can make it fun for you kids by running a household scavenger hunt in which you reward you children for finding household items to donate, such as clothes, toys, books, old appliances, and canned goods. And vice versa!)

When you are on the lookout for new appliances and as you need to replace what you have, make sure to invest in energy saving brands that have decent warranties. If you don’t have kids, donate these items to local day cares and schools. Go thrifty. This helps keep toxic metals from ending up in the landfills.
