Once you get through sorting, it’s time for giving away (or selling) and storing. The other thing you can do once you’ve finished the whole process is have a garage sale! If you don’t have shoe boxes laying around, Amazon has some easy storage solutions as well that are much more in my budget!

Involve Your Child in Planning and Budgeting. If you believe in using allowances as part of personal finance training, letting your child take on more and more financial responsibility with an increasing allowance can help them be prepared to make good budgeting and spending decisions when they are on their own. Don’t Pay Retail.

I already had saved up a box full of wine bottles, in hopes of selling them at my next garage sale, so we didn’t have any cash outlay for those. Eventually I ended up at a scrap-booking store that carried 12 x 12 sheets of paper in enormous variety. They had black paper flocked with a scroll design that looked elegant.

They kind of look like the ones for sale at Curious Country Creations. Plan ahead and hit garage sales, but especially estate sales. You can pick up beautiful decorations, wreaths, linens, trees and more at these sales. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. These make nice gifts too.

Take the time to learn any requisite skills, either by reading, learning online or perhaps attending some of the home improvement big box store presentations and skill shops. I found wood frames for my national park posters and a wildlife themed shower curtain at the local thrift stores. Trade services. This post was written by Marie.

It’s always a challenge to find the balance between wanting to give your child the most amazing birthday ever and working with your realistic budget. And this year, our budget was lower than ever. He ended up buying a Star Wars banner package that included a very large picture of Darth Vadar for about $5 from a party store.

Vanilla cupcakes I stored all my equipment in a dishpan in my dorm room. One of the moves we made, out to Seattle, the only way we could make our budget work AND have me be home with our young kids, was to not own a vehicle at all. I’m not – I’m more of a spender, and struggled with budgeting as a young adult.

Garage sales – need I say more? less over at Hen House and the checkout clerk knocked $3.00 off the price.

Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. If you calculate your mortgage interest, the cost of insurance and maintenance, buying can be much more expensive than renting. And if you rent, save money and then invest the difference.

Stay away from the stores unless you need something. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. You have no budget. Try a simple budget. You shop to feel better. You shop to release stress, to be someone else, to escape. But, you can’t escape your life and the bills will follow you.
