Is there a place to reasonably donate leftover Halloween candy? Maybe the ghosts and goblins of Halloween are really the leftover candy! by Betsy You could donate it to operation gratitude. My daughter didn't. Maybe it should all go in the freezer to be doled out on a more reasonable schedule. AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

Use reusable containers with lids rather than plastic wrap and aluminum foil to store leftovers. Eat those leftovers! I have a good friend who hates leftovers and throws any away after a meal. By eating your leftovers, you are saving money and avoiding the land fills. That’s crazy! Brew your own coffee.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. I had purchased a much smaller (less sturdy) one at Walmart for $20 – my daughter-in-law inherited that one. Glass leftover containers 3 for $.75. I swore I’d never buy used junk again… but now I’ve changed my mind.

I have a rule now that if I want to buy a book, I need to donate one. And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste. I was baking some brownies for a friend and remembered that her daughter was vegan, so I wanted to adapt my sugar free recipe to use flax eggs instead. I make bone broth now!
