Garage sales – I found a guitar for $5.00 once at a garage sale and bought it for my grandson. Relatives – Great Uncle Joe may still have that trumpet he used to play and might like to donate it to a future generation! We rented our son’s alto saxophone while he took lessons in high school.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. I used an old seat cushion I had and wrapped it with brand new material from another garage sale to pretty it up and make it softer, then stacked new throw pillows I found at yet another sale for $.50 Do You Save Wrapping?

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. Boy, did I declutter.

learning to give by having them donate last years clothing. I love to shop garage sales. One of my relatives did this for the four years their son was in school. using what they already have. deciding between needs and wants. deferring spending until they are sure about what is wanted or needed and.

My degree is in mechanical engineering, but I’m just starting a transition to nursing – before I got pregnant with my son, I was working as a nursing assistant while my husband finished grad school, and planning to go on to nursing school. Hosting garage sales & reselling items.
