REUSE
A great way to acquire new things is to organize a swap with friends. Depending on your interests and needs, almost anything is fair game - clothing, books, toys and CDs are all popular items at a swap. You can also check out websites that easily and inexpensively allow members to swap books, CDs and DVDs online.
Aluminum FoilAfter use, wash and let dry or use to store food. You can get a few rounds out of foil with a little care.
Blankets, Comforters and SleepingKeep one in your trunk, in case you need it (either for warmth or wrapping fragile items) so you will always have one on hand.
Compact DiscsMake them into coasters. Attach rubber or felt "feet" to the CD so they don't slide.
Egg CartonsUse to sprout seedlings for your garden.
EyeglassesRemove the lenses and use for games of dress-up.
Fabric Softner SheetsPlace in your sock drawer to help keep your socks smelling clean.
