Is there a place to reasonably donate leftover Halloween candy? But Thanksgiving is on the way, and then Christmas, so there will be more sweets to deal with. Maybe the ghosts and goblins of Halloween are really the leftover candy! by Betsy You could donate it to operation gratitude. AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

Recently I tried something completely new to me and earned $1000 in less than 3 months by donating plasma–see the details in #14. An easy lunch idea in one word: leftovers! Bring in Extra Money: 14 – Donate Plasma. A friend posted on Facebook about how she was making extra money by donating plasma.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. Glass leftover containers 3 for $.75. I don’t like to use plastic bags or throwaway containers for my leftovers – glass seems much cleaner. Yards of new wide, metal rimmed Christmas ribbon – $2. Do You Save Wrapping?

I don’t freeze food in the used bags, but do use them for leftovers in the frig. Before throwing away old clothing, I snip the buttons off and remove working zippers (unless I’m donating the item). My Mother-in-law used to bake small cakes at Christmas time in empty vegetable cans to give away. Empty vegetable cans.

A couple years ago, my two teenage boys were no longer excited about making and decorating Christmas cookies. I’d send some to my nieces to help with their college expenses and would donate half to our local food pantry.
