If you want to save money, one of the best options is to buy used. Not only can buying something second-hand help you save money, but it also reduces the amount of resources that you use. Buying used is one way to increase the sustainability of your life. It was much cheaper to buy these items gently used. Baby Items.

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. Bring in your slightly used, but in good shape costume and pick one from those others brought in – as a swap. Don’t buy, make. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.

Check your paper or local events board to see if any kid’s clothing swaps are happening in your area. Hit up fall garage sales.

You may have the equipment they need to outfit their child so you could sell or swap it for something you need. The same applies when you are outfitting your youngster for a new sport; there’s sure to be the equipment you need hiding in someone else’s garage or basement so it pays to ask around or advertise locally.

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. We have a rule in our household; before you buy an item that you don’t usually buy, stop and ask yourself some questions. I don’t have one so I started to research them.

We are leaving 3 entry doors, the garage doors, the windows in the garage, the small kitchen window and a large picture window in the master sitting room in place. Because of that, and because I like the way the house currently looks, we wanted to buy something that could look very similar.
