I had three baby showers when I was pregnant for my son–one from each side of the family and one from my co-workers. Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales. In my children’s first few years of life, food was the biggest expense.

Use up your food. No one likes second hand food, but if you fix it differently the second time around it can still be appetizing. With fresh food – buy only what you can eat before it goes bad. Pay attention to expiration dates by organizing your pantry and freezer so that the oldest food is in front.

Consider hosting a garage sale or listing items online to sell. Don’t forget to include important documents, chargers for your devices, and snacks or a small food kit to tide you over until you can do a proper grocery shop. It’s an opportunity to reset, redecorate, and redefine your living space.

Instead of buying items that you may only need for one time, you should consider borrowing items from a friend, family member, or a neighbor. You no longer have to go to garage sales and flea markets to pick up these items. You can save a lot of money buying organic items at food co-ops and farmers markets.
