Anything you now longer want that is still wearable and in reasonable condition can be donated to thrift stores. Garments that are in good condition, especially well-known or high-end labels, could be donated or sold to secondhand clothing stores or through eBay or other online sites.

If the stigma of thrifting gets to you, remember, it’s not “used”, it’s “vintage”. Clothing swaps are a great way to spend a frugal evening with friends while clearing out your closet and scoring some new finds. Whatever is left unclaimed at the end of the evening gets donated. Spend the evening trying on eachothers’ discards.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Buy one then sell, donate or exchange it. Bring in your slightly used, but in good shape costume and pick one from those others brought in – as a swap. Put your unwanted Halloween decorations out for reuse by donating them.

Recently I tried something completely new to me and earned $1000 in less than 3 months by donating plasma–see the details in #14. However, if you do use it , ask your gym if they swap volunteer hours for a free membership. I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores.
