This year, why not give (and receive) a better gift by telling them to donate to a charity in your name, and you’ll do the same for them? And, to get your children involved, help them clean out clothing and toys they no longer need or use to donate to charity. Not only do you help them build a lifetime habit.

Established flea markets (the ones that are in permanent buildings and are open year round) are good places to find a variety of things as well. As a result, many people donate books to charities and thrift stores. These stores often have a lot of these items because people will donate old items when they upgrade to new ones.

Build Your Stockpile. Don’t buy a ton of everything as soon as you get started or you will blow your budget! If there is no way you will use it before it expires then consider donating the item to a shelter or food pantry. Start slowly. A stockpile takes time. I hope these tips have been helpful!

One of the moves we made, out to Seattle, the only way we could make our budget work AND have me be home with our young kids, was to not own a vehicle at all. I don’t have to drive my kids everywhere, which means I have more time to do things like cook or projects around the house, or volunteer (and build connections) in my community.

He is also thrifty and is much better at budgeting than I. If I could spend it without strings, I might just donate it to a food pantry. He got his roofing urges out when he build our garage last year though!) My cat satisfying his thirst! So if it’s income, I would turn it down. I have what I need right now. 😉 10.

The Extreme Couponing show is not realistic – most couponers do not shop that way, and most of them donate their extras as a way to give back. Stick to a budget and devote a small portion of the budget to building up your stockpile. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed.

I taught coupon and frugal living workshops and put any donated money toward the mortgage. How often do you and your spouse discuss your finances/budget/spending? We do budget together EVERY SINGLE MONTH. Because each month needs a different budget based on the circumstances you’re currently in. Become a hermit.
