Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing. From my mother: she taught me mostly everything including checkbook balancing, saving, investing, economics, etc. This means funds are tight.

The third week of March was my Mother-in-laws 90 th birthday. 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. Since red is my Mother-in-laws favorite color, I snatched them up too! Total cost for all was $10.00.

You no longer have to go to garage sales and flea markets to pick up these items. Living sustainable is not only key to the protecting Mother Nature but it also key to your future financial health. Secondhand products are often just as effective and as attractive as brand new items. You see it’s really not that hard to go green.

I’m a long-distance cyclist, a triathlete, a wife, a mother of two, a sister, a daughter, a friend, DIY-er, and a community member! And barring one job I had as a young mother, I never have. Hosting garage sales & reselling items. My own kids were born in different time zones, too – one in MN, one in OH.

Hold a garage sale together. We did a little carnival like this when I ran a Mother’s Day Out program for the church. These are just a few of many other types of productions you could do together. The kids had fun, and we made a bit of money for the program! Play old time outdoor backyard games.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. We didn’t do that one, although we did have one morning a week Mother’s Day Outs at the local church. Of course, we also tried to maximize our income.
