Get some shoe polish and shine up those old shoes, take them to a shoe repair shop to have the re-heeled or soled if they are worn down. This used to be a common occurrence with a shoe repair shop on every main street. Take care of your wardrobe to keep it looking work and wear worthy.

I’m guilty as well. I remember when there was a shoe repair shop on almost every corner. At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? Many of us throw the broken or outdated item out. Few try to repair or get it repaired. I wish he was still around.

The other thing you can do once you’ve finished the whole process is have a garage sale! If you don’t have shoe boxes laying around, Amazon has some easy storage solutions as well that are much more in my budget! Use shoeboxes for storage. Make your own keepsake boxes.

According to the July 15, 2010 Back to School Survey from the National Retail Federation, the average family spent around $600 per child for back to school needs, split between clothing (37%); electronics (30%); shoes (17%) and school supplies (16%). I love to shop garage sales. Involve Your Child in Planning and Budgeting.
