Prairie Eco-Thrifter

MARCH 3, 2014

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 I used it for years and sold it – for $25 – last summer in my own garage sale. Glass leftover containers 3 for $.75.

For small packages, find interesting magazine pages to use in wrapping. Do you have some leftover wall paper you won’t be using? Shop garage sales and thrift stores and estate sales. Use paper from other sources. If you get newspapers, use newsprint with bright colored ribbon or bows. Use those as well.

Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. And as an added bonus, leftovers make a great lunch the next day. Magazines and newspapers are all available online now. And if you rent, save money and then invest the difference. Brown bag it to work.
