Many years ago, I got a little wooden chest from freecycle. The freecycle chest is pretty small. I painted it white, and I put it in Zoe’s room, and then Lisey’s, and then when I moved here, I brought it along and kept it in Lisey’s room. Look at the foot of the bed and you’ll see it.

One of the more interesting ways to garden is to grow items in containers. You might be surprised at the types of plants you can grow in a container garden. From using espaliering to grow apple trees in a container, to herbs, to a variety of vegetables , it’s possible to transform a small space into an effective container garden.

Babies grow so quickly that their babies only wore some outfits for a time or two before they outgrew them, so the clothes looked like new. Garlick got all of her children’s clothes and gear from friends, family, and sites like Freecycle. In my children’s first few years of life, food was the biggest expense.

Look for a consignment shop in town, visit Freecycle web site, or check the Classifieds before you go to the store to buy new. Even if you don’t have a lot of room, you can grow a container garden. The added plants will help with the air quality around your home, and you’ll save money by growing your own food.

The fact is, babies grow at an alarming rate and if you buy too many garments in the same size, you’ll have a hard time getting a good amount of wear out of them. You will save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by looking for the basics in secondhand stores, eBay and Freecycle.

Never try to use non-canning jars to preserve your food – doing so could lead to dangerous (invisible) bacteria growing in your food. You might even luck out and find one listed on Freecycle or in your local paper’s classified ad section. Proper canning jars are made so that the lids fully seal.

Did you find something on Freecycle that you were planning to purchase? Being able to actually see your savings grow in your sinking funds can be great motivation to look for additional ways to save money. If you use $10 in coupons on a grocery purchase, add $10 to a sinking fund. If you submit a $5 rebate, add $5 to your sinking fund.
