Give Back Tuesday?

This is the first in a new series of posts called Give Back Tuesday. I mentioned in my last post that I want to start donating items that I no longer need and/or want. Unfortunately, with so few options around here, that may mean that I will end up donating everything to our local Goodwill. While I agree that this is still a better option than throwing stuff out- or keeping unwanted and unneeded items- I was hoping for a shelter or someplace similar to that to which I could donate my items.

Sooo... I've decided to call this series Toss Out Tuesday instead! In the past, I have kept boxes of junk around because I could not find a place to donate them to. In fact, I have 2 full boxes right now! So, instead of keeping them around, this series will be dedicated to giving away, selling, donating, and yes, even some tossing of items that I no longer need or want.

I'm going to start with some really simple stuff and go from there. First off, I have a bunch of towels that have gotten discolored and a little ratty with use. About a year ago, I switch to only white towels to prevent ruining any more towels from discoloration, which I think was caused by the products my husband puts in his hair. (Yes, I know.) Since then, they've been laying around all over the place. Since the SPCA is always looking for stuff like that, I will drop off the towels this week after work. This is a simple fix that I should have taken care of a long time ago.

The second set of items are bath products that I have identified as "never gonna use" items. A friend told me that she sells many products of ebay- even opened ones! I've never heard of it, but I thought I'd give it a try. The worse that could happen is that they don't sell! However, since we are leaving in just over a week for Hilton Head, South Carolina (yay!), I don't want to post anything until we get back. In the meantime, I'm going to photograph these items and get them ready for sale. I'd also like to explore a couple of other websites that I'll talk about later if I decide to use them.

Wish me luck!
