After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. When a company doesn’t want the item back, they simply refund the money and I am able to make the necessary repairs myself, saving money and landfill space. We share our home with a 70lb rescued mutt.

I discovered this unique way of saving money by swapping, sharing and hiring quite recently, when I needed a specific tool to complete one of my DIY jobs. This got me thinking ; how often do we buy something that could be borrowed or hired or swapped for something else? So much for the sharing part of this idea; what about hiring?

Go build a treehouse in the backyard or teach your kids how to bake. No, I’m not talking about starting your own Mr. Clean company, although that would be great. Organize “Swap Days” In the time of our great-grandmas, there was something known as the barter trade. We still have versions of this today.
