Frugal deeds for the week: This week, we are concentrating on turning our "junque" into "treasures". My daughter noticed a "Plato's Closet" had opened up in our area. So, she asked to see what they have - and will be asking about their consignment policies. Perhaps she can get a few more $ out of her stuff - instead of consigning to a thrift store - and then turn it around to use for clothes she wants. Also, this weekend, she will concentrate on getting all of her old sports equipment together and will trade the credit in for gym shorts/etc. from "Play it again Sports". Now that her school relaxed the policy that the students had to purchase gym clothes from the school - I'd rather pay for it with stuff we no longer want/need. Also, they are stopping at Staples with a rewards check we earned from turning in old ink cartridges - to buy school supplies. Are we turning into a barter society? And we got our paper work done for our BP claim - I will mail it out tomorrow. I feel a bit giddy de-cluttering and bring $ back to the house or not spending it.
