Re: Things I don't pay for
Rubberbands: I get a slew of mail so my mailman usually wraps it in a rubberband for me. I wonder if he knows I now have hundreds.
Plastic Bags: Grocery store
Greeting Cards: I save all the greeting cards given to us an then make my own
Fax Machine: In the dump at my husbands work. He took it home and fixed it. It was just a loose wire.
Document Shedder: Again, easy fix, my husband found it in the trash
Clothes: I make my daughter sun dresses and church dresses from old clothes that I or other family members no longer use. I made her a real cute one recently...used elastic from an old pair of jogging pants, buttons from an old dress shirt of my husbands, and bias(around the hem) from an old crib sheet.
Personal Items: I sign up for every free sample under the sun
House Plants: Friends and I swap cuttings
Garden Plants: Swap with friends, or grow from seeds from the year before
Flowering Plants: Swap or grow from seed dried and saved from the year before.
