Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. I look for the neighborhood sales, which are usually either in spring or fall.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Use pumpkins at your wedding as flower baskets. Once the kids left home, we ended up with zero trick or treaters at our house on a state highway. No kids = no money on candy = no candy wrappers in the landfill.

When I married, I made a very simple velvet wedding gown and also saved a few hundred dollars. I bought out a lady at a garage sale long ago, made several dresses, shirts, shorts and cover ups out of some of the material and still have a gob left over. For instance, in college, I was invited to a formal dance occasion.
