We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes. Eat it by baking the cleaned, salted seed. Cut it up, peel it, scrape it, bake it, then put it in the blender. Like me, buy them used and then reuse them each year.

I have found that garage sales , flea markets , estate sales or Mom/Grandma’s basement are the best places to score a great deal on used canning jars. The best place to find used canning accessories cheaply is eBay , although sometimes you can get lucky and spot some items at garage sales , too.

I used several boxes of baking soda to help sanitize and deodorize them as well. Ways to save on furniture.
