While I appreciate the thought, those toys don’t get used often, and I feel bad donating them or giving them away. I have a soft spot for good sales, whether they be at the local retail store (I bought way too many Gymboree shirts for my daughter when they were on sale for $3.99) or at a garage sale. What do I have to lose?

Before You Go Donate Items Before you go shopping, you will want to grab anything that you want to donate and take it with you. First, this helps you cut down on clutter, and second, it might make the employees more helpful if they know that you donate regularly. They will generally have the best selections.

At this time of year, I can find crayons, glue, construction paper and other craft items at very cheap prices and great for their Christmas stockings. Consider donating school supplies to womens' shelters, local schools, children's hospitals, libraries, churches. My daughter is content for at least 2 hours.

My daughter-in-law knew the power of negotiation. This has to be done multiple times a year and calling an exterminator can be bothersome and expensive – even if each visit is cheap, it adds up to a lot over time. Sometimes the most financially rewarding scenario is to donate it to a tax deductible charity! Record Keeping.

But as my daughter grew, I noted how many nice things I was giving away. No matter how cheap it is, no matter the brand name inside; if you won’t wear it, it’s not a bargain. Some have regular sale days, coupons for donations, and/or loyalty cards. Surely, I wasn’t the only one dropping off new or nearly new items.
