- Take aluminum cans, obsolete electronics, batteries, cell phones, old non-working metal items and others to the scrap/salvage yard to sell them.
- Go to the thrift store to buy one item that you would normally buy new.
- Use the $5 off $25 purchase from Dollar General (good most Saturdays of each month)
- Buy greeting cards in a box, at dollar stores, or make them yourself.
- Donate items to Goodwill and receive a coupon worth 25% off your purchase of $15 or more – spend $20 and you will save $5 off the amount. Plus you get a tax deduction for your donation, which saves you money if you itemize deductions on your tax return. It’s a win-win situation!
