Plasma Donation Earnings: $220. I donated plasma 4 times in May which is short of my goal of 8 times. I usually donate on Friday and Sunday mornings, but I was super busy in May and wasn’t able to get to the donation center. If you’d like information on donating plasma, read my review of donating plasma HERE.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Buy one then sell, donate or exchange it. They both spent some time scooping out the insides and cutting off the tops but the end product was beautiful. Put your unwanted Halloween decorations out for reuse by donating them.

Typically they don’t want to bring it to the dump or donate it because the item is in good condition. We received a headboard for our bed for free that was absolutely beautiful. The funniest thing happens when you decide to move into a new home, especially if it’s your first home: people want to give you furniture.

Thrift Shopping. With your wardrobe in mind, start with thrift stores. Thrift stores are not the dusty, smelly places of the past. Many people donate their clothing they no longer wear or need, which often include name-brands. At the end of summer, there’ll be plenty of beautiful clothes for next year.

Go hiking and camping and show them the beauty of the outdoors (and teach them to leave trails and campsites better than when you arrived) Plant a garden with your children to give them a tangible example of how much fun growing your own food and eating healthy can be!

Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. You donate to suitable charities. You go on a trip and buy a beautiful souvenir to remind you of the trip. All our stuff fit in two rooms and a closet back then.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. I swore I’d never buy used junk again… but now I’ve changed my mind. I hate waste and I see it all the time.
