[marjorie]

1. Skein of yarn. This started me crocheting, a hobby I've enjoyed for years, and sometimes have found profitable.

2. A can of green beans. A $.20 can of beans? Yes, my introduction to stockpiling. We were so poor with first child that even buying this meant sacrifice.

3. A pair of sandals my mom had made for me when I was 16. I wore them so long the leather shredded/decomposed.

Bad

1. car my son never drove, and I took a $1200 hit on.

2. Marriage license. Explanation unneeded.

3. Clutter, mostly crafts that I shouldn't have bought in the first place, and will lose lots of money selling or donating.
