We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Bring in your slightly used, but in good shape costume and pick one from those others brought in – as a swap. Search the attic, the backs of the closets, the garage and see what inspiration presents. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.

Attend clothing swaps. Back to school time brings clothing swaps to many areas. Check your paper or local events board to see if any kid’s clothing swaps are happening in your area. Tip: If your child wears uniforms, ask the school if they have a uniform swap scheduled. Hit up fall garage sales. Start your own!

Garage sales, estate sales, and moving sales are all great places to look for used furniture. They can be found in a number of places, from online book swaps to eBay to Amazon. They lasted us several years, including two cross-country moves. Are you too proud to buy used jewelry? Don’t be! Entertainment. What do you think?

You may have the equipment they need to outfit their child so you could sell or swap it for something you need. The same applies when you are outfitting your youngster for a new sport; there’s sure to be the equipment you need hiding in someone else’s garage or basement so it pays to ask around or advertise locally.

I discovered this unique way of saving money by swapping, sharing and hiring quite recently, when I needed a specific tool to complete one of my DIY jobs. He was happy to lend it as he said that it was just sitting gathering dust in his garage; he had bought it for a single project and never used it again.
