Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 2, 2022

Do you love to sew/knit/crochet? I shop at thrift stores frequently and I am always amazed at how much I see with store tags still on the product. But that store credit is much better than sending it to the thrift store as a donation. My mom makes and sells Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls.

I stopped by my two favorite thrift stores last week: Salvation Army & Community Aid, a local store. I only go on Wednesdays, because both stores offer an additional 50% off on almost everything. I cleaned out our closets a couple of weekends ago and I found that we are in need of some spring & summer clothes.

Since my kids play on the floors a lot I feel like I need to clean the floors often and that isn’t fun. I didn’t bother sewing the squares to have neat edges, like I’ve seen on Pinterest. I just throw them in the laundry with my other cleaning rags. It seemed like a lot of waste too. Do you use a Swiffer?

Unless you have a very small house, you can save yourself time and effort by storing stuff where you use it. Keep bath cleaning products in the bathroom along with other things (like rags, buckets and etc) needed to do the cleaning. Then always start your cleaning chores in that bath and move to the others.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). If you sew, take off the buttons, zippers, lace, netting or whatever to use later. Eat it by baking the cleaned, salted seed. No kids = no money on candy = no candy wrappers in the landfill. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.
