So today was rather successful! I was able to help recycle and make money off the deal! My philosophy is that there are ways to have a win-win situation, and if everybody wins, how can that be a bad thing?
A couple months ago I had a clothes swap with my friends----another fun party idea (everyone brings clothes and such they don't want---and swap. Everyone leaves happier, with new items and rid of their old ones). After the swap I was left with a large bag of clothing that everyone was going to donate anyway. In the current process of packing, purging and moving I took the bag to Plato's Closet. For those of you whom don't know what that is, it's a re-sale shop where you can donate clothes and get money in exchange.
After handing over my bag of clothes I roamed the store and found a cute necklace-and for no sales tax if exchange in for items. And finally after sitting for an hour, well roaming around the store waiting they called my name. They took 9 items and gave me 25 dollars back-minus the five for the necklace.
So I made $20, 1 necklace and donation later it was an hour gone, but much reward.
It is thinking like this that I encourage you to do. Be creative, make money and help out....what more could you ask for.
