    Default Use up your old clothes!

    Hey frugal wanna-be's remember don't throw out your old clothes use them up. Or I even sell them at a second hand shop or give them to charity.

    What a good idea! DH and I just went through all of our clothes and we came up with 2 garbage bags for charity and a bag of just trash that he wanted to keep as a rag bag - although we really don't use rags - but maybe I will keep some anyways to use with ideas from this article!

    If the clothes are too bad for the junk store they go to the rag bag. It seems like I am continually getting clothes coming in and going out. LOL

    we just went through most of our stuff and had 10 bags full. I gave a ton away and then gave the other to womens shelter. along with a ton of toys.

    I saved a lot of the tshirts though as they are great for making diapers.
