  We're pretty used to an economy that encourages us to buy, use, and dispose of things. Furniture, clothing, electronics — nothing really seems to LAST anymore, does it? Many of the times we see on the commercials on T.V that shows a brand new car that has: This and That: and really your car is only a year old. Then you go thru your mind and thin, “I should sell my car and buy that new car”. You then think you are being brainwashed. That’s in the extreme scenario, but the truth is that a lot of the times we don’t need to by new things. The old things that we have can become new or can be used in a different way.  Let us learn how we can all have old things look like new…………………………………..
1. Couple weeks ago we found an old wheel barrow that the wheel base was broken. Â We load it up on the truck and took it home. Now what can I do with an old wheelbarrow you might ask? One I can fix it and make work. Another you can use it a planter and add some beautiful flowers.
2. Take your old basket and fill it with can foods, loaf of fresh bread, and different items that you find inside your pantry and give as a gift.
3. I use plastic grocery bags and pick up doggy doo or use it for my trash baskets at home too. It does not cost me a dime.
4. I remember as I was growing up that my mother used the egg cartons to decorate a trash basket around.
