I have nine adult children. Many years ago I started a “goodwill” box for Christmas for each of my children. Now my grandchildren LOVE it. I look forward to childhood toys or tshirts from their childhood. I look forward to the fun and unexpected for the grandchildren. I enjoy and have so much fun doing this. They always get nice gifts from nana and pawpaw but now they want their goodwill box first! Ps. We have 26 grandchildren.
Another money saving tip that has really helped me is to buy out of season. Purchase summer items in the winter or the beginning of fall when the stores want to make for the fall season. Things like sandals, clothes, outdoor games, camping gear that sort of thing. Also compare prices. Dont just go out and buy things impulsively because it suddenly pops into your head that you need it.

Oh my! I had no idea that Pyrex would replace my lids, thank you for that. Btw… I’m new here. I’m changing my relationship with money and it feels great so you were recommended to me and love your perspective!!!
Hope your recovering well, i heard a tip to put a dry towel in with wet washing in the dryer and it’s meant to half the drying time? In Scotland we line dry almost all Year . As I was discussing with a lady from USA our dryers are tiny to compared to American dryers and less economical as you have to put more loads on as they don’t hold as much x
My power company (BGE) has an off-peak program that you can sign up for, so instead of flat rates, they have low off-peak rates and HIGH peak rates. It doesn't seem worth it if you're at home with the A/C on during the day.
