Look for a consignment shop in town, visit Freecycle web site, or check the Classifieds before you go to the store to buy new. The added plants will help with the air quality around your home, and you’ll save money by growing your own food. These light bulbs use less energy, and create a greener home. Plant a Garden.

Unfortunately not everything in your home is considered a tax deduction if donated. Household items that can be deducted if donated are furniture and furnishings, electronics, appliances, linens, and other similar items. While I love the instant cash that you can get from a yard sale, this year a tax deduction will have to do.
