Frugal Consignment

I finally did it!!!!  I have been cleaning out my closet for years and sending it all to Goodwill.  I have been shopping at a particular consignment store for a couple of years now.  At first they did not take consignments, I am not sure if they were just not taking them or not taking them on my particular days off.  Anyway I continued shopping there and talking to the girls that work there.  About a month ago they relocated to a bigger store and started excepting consignments, So...... I cleaned out my closet.  I am super excited to get the opportunity to sell some of my cast offs.  I think it is super important to take clothes in there to consign that you would buy yourself.  My problem is mostly the weight gain since I stopped smoking.  (This is another story~ but I am doing really good)
My plan is to either take the money and put it in my savings account, or to exchange the money for stylish clothes in a bit bigger size.  Either way it is a win win situation.

Have a Fabulous & Frugal Day!!!!

Save Money On Dry Cleaning

Here is how I save money on dry cleaning: Dryel~ visit their website and get 10 dollars worth of coupons. This is worth it... trust me. Have a Fabulous & Frugal day.

Zip it.
Add 1-4 garments to the Dryel Fabric Protection Bag. Bag should not be more than half-full to allow garments to tumble freely. Unfold Dryel cleaning cloth and add to bag. Zip the bag and then place in the dryer.

Steam it.
Tumble in dryer on medium heat for 30 minutes to activate the steam-cleaning environment, removing odors and protecting against shrinking, stretching & fading.

Wear it.
Clothes should be slightly damp when removing them from the bag. Promptly hang or wear clean and fresh garments to help wrinkles fall out. Throw away cleaning cloths after use, but save the Dryel Bag for next time. It is designed to last up to 25 loads.
