Sure I knew about the ‘White sales’ – the ones stores used to have in January on sheets and towels and such, but I really hadn’t a clue that there is a best time to buy many other things!

That’s good for the Earth and for personal finances. I happened upon some old canning Mason jars at a garage sale, and now we use those for everything–making iced tea in the summer, putting leftover soup in, holding our homemade laundry detergent. Throwing those away isn’t good for the environment.

Buying personal finance books at garage sales and reading them one after another to make sure you have a basis of knowledge on money management. Depositing part of your check in the bank for savings before you spend it on anything else.
