BooksBooks are literally reusable. Most used book stores carryjust a copy or two of all kinds of titles, so it’s a good idea tobuy when you find the one you want. Also look for usedbooks at thrift shops, toy shops, and even propped on theshelves in antique stores. Used textbooks are a must forstudents, and best of all, many used book stores will paycash or give you trade value for these smart reusables.

Thrift Shops

The price is right! Thrift stores have almost everything at lowprices and as-is. Clothing and housewares are usually the mostplentiful items, but there are also books, suitcases, toys, TVs,plush chairs, greeting cards, umbrellas, and ukuleles. These aregreat places to donate your garage sale leftovers; some thriftstores support very worthwhile charitable community services.
