Cash in on Consignment, by Monica Ricci, has humorous but helpful tips on how to get some money out of those shopping mistakes.

Six Ways it Pays to Get Organized, by Donna Smallin, is not just about clothing storage, but about the many different ways it pays to stay organized.

 

Loose change from your pockets can cause unsightly piles on top of dressers or shelves, or worse, get lost. Think about where you stand when you change your clothes, and put a receptacle of some kind nearby. Consider a bank that counts the change while you drop it in.

Laundry Day Tip: keep a small container near the washer to hold anything you might pull out of pockets. If you hate doing this chore, you might consider telling family members that whatever you find in their pockets is yours to keep. (Sometimes what you find is not much of a prize; however, the occasional twenty-dollar bill is a nice tip!)
