For instance, I returned a lot of toys to Walmart this year and then took the store credit and used it to buy food. Then I took the same amount that was given to me on the gift card from the return and bought them two better quality toys made in Germany online. Even though I didn't buy them a toy from Walmart they still got the same dollar amount spent on them. I hope that makes clear! <br />If I can not return it then I first try to sell it and use to the money towards the person who's gift it was. Sometimes it is a nice gift but a duplicate. In this case I tend to hold on to the item in the "gift" cabinet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525334973892331389.post-64839834017909194062009-01-26T09:23:00.001-05:002009-01-26T09:23:00.001-05:00What do you do with all the gifts people have give...What do you do with all the gifts people have given you/your kids that you don't use/don't fit/don't like/don't have room for?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525334973892331389.post-32860058425838104662009-01-22T23:59:00.000-05:002009-01-22T23:59:00.000-05:00I really needed this post today!

But, as the mother of a very busy toddler, the thought of even starting makes me tired. Now that I have a battle plan, I'm ready to start contemplating some changes! Our house is 1,000 square feet and we need to definitely move some stuff out before we move another human being in. Thanks for joining us this week for Thrifty Green Thursday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
