Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. My neighbor’s garage sale was almost over when I stumbled on it.

While I appreciate the thought, those toys don’t get used often, and I feel bad donating them or giving them away. I have a soft spot for good sales, whether they be at the local retail store (I bought way too many Gymboree shirts for my daughter when they were on sale for $3.99) or at a garage sale.

I took at least three trunks full of “stuff” to Goodwill, I had a garage sale, and I sold things online. If you buy your child a new doll, make sure that you donate or sell another one of her toys or you’ll end up with a toy room filled with toys your children don’t play with. Get Organized'

Consider hosting a garage sale or listing items online to sell. For items you decide to donate, research local charities or organizations that can benefit from them, ensuring your unwanted items help others. Not only does this lighten your load, but it can also provide extra funds to help with moving expenses.

Donate good clothing you really can’t use to a non-profit and bank the tax deduction. Pay attention to expiration dates by organizing your pantry and freezer so that the oldest food is in front. Darn the holes in your socks instead of throwing them out. Pass down serviceable clothing from child to child. Use up your food.

Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. You donate to suitable charities. Maybe you put it at the curb, hoping someone will take it and use it – or you sell it at a garage sale or some other used stuff venue.
