Prairie Eco-Thrifter

JUNE 4, 2012

When you are looking at furniture, you want to look for irreparable problems, but you should also consider what some sanding and some paint might fix. As a result, many people donate books to charities and thrift stores. These stores often have a lot of these items because people will donate old items when they upgrade to new ones.

Saving Cents With Sense

One project that almost anyone can do with just a few of the right tools is painting. Pick out your desired paint color at the hardware store and ask the sales person what you will need to paint a room. If you can’t sell something, consider donating it and at least getting the tax write off.

Recently I tried something completely new to me and earned $1000 in less than 3 months by donating plasma–see the details in #14. I love a pedicure too, but if you’re trying to save money, try to paint your piggies yourself. Bring in Extra Money: 14 – Donate Plasma. Pretty nails and toes?

Some may like the idea of dressing up as a certain character, getting to wear make up or a painted face, going door-to-door with friends/family/neighbors at night (in the dark mostly)and yes to some kids… it’s all about the candy! The rest has been donated to Daddy in the past. Donate - Halloween Candy Buy Back.

The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. I have a rule now that if I want to buy a book, I need to donate one.
