Larger thrift stores like the Salvation Army and Goodwill, often have a little bit of everything in their stores. Take a peek. Take a peek.

I pulled out clothes that I don’t wear and I’ll donate to the thrift store. I purged a pesty cabinet in my kitchen. My kitchen cabinets and refrigerator/freezer. I reorganized years worth of photos that were in boxes. It turns out I didn’t need any of it anyway. The shoe shelf in our garage.

I mentioned that our pub style table and chairs didn’t work well in our dining room, but the bar stool chairs were the perfect height, so they worked great for the kitchen island, and we were able to sell the table on Craigslist. Typically they don’t want to bring it to the dump or donate it because the item is in good condition.

While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans. I used coupons and shopped through the Rakuten portal and got a lot of deals at their favorite stores. I earned a free turkey from my regular grocery store, GIANT of PA.

Skip the paper towels and instead keep some old towels and rags under your kitchen sink to clean up kitchen spills. And rather than throw unused possessions away, donate to a thrift store or offer up on Freecycle.org. Examples: Replace paper napkins with cloth napkins.
