My mother-in-law brought this down to us one day several years ago. This used to be in the game room at their house when my husband was growing up. He didn’t remember it, but I remembered it. We had it in my son’s play area for a while but he was never too attached. When…
My son had workbooks leftover from last school year. We did some of them during the summer but not much. I posted these on my local Buy Nothing Project Facebook group and someone asked for them. There are a lot of homeschool families, or just parents that want to offer extra help and lessons. You…
Does anyone else thing of Mater when they use the word “Modify!” I’m cutting down yard signs from one style to another, so instead of a milk-carton sleeve they fit the corrugated plastic signs.

My son’s school has a chicken coop. We recently noticed questionable creature footprints around said coop so our Garden Coordinator asked for cinder blocks to make a safety perimeter for the ladies. The featured image is of one I had in my garage, I don’t remember why we had this…. I then posted in my…
These Rover lunch kits are very popular this week! I couldn’t sell one at all in July and now they are hot. I was informed this morning that PlanetBox is out of stock on these so perhaps that, along with a few weeks of school under our belts, the moms and eager to get some!…
These were from my son’s school. They were extras and didn’t fit with the stacking of the newer chairs. He asked for them so we brought them home and then he never sat in them again…. I really thought these would go quickly on my Buy Nothing Facebook group. We have a ton of kids…
I’m helping someone downsize and these citronella candles were in their utility closet. Only one was used and the rest have dead bugs in them. Someone asked for them immediately and came by to pick them up immediately in my local Buy Nothing Facebook group. I really thought it would take a while because regular…
I’m helping someone downsize and this was a heavy unused Shark brand vacuum they had in their utility closet. I posted in on my local Buy Nothing Facebook group and a lady near me said her Shark, the exact same one, had just died and she’d love to have this one! I made sure it…
Book Haul! So I was just just going to do a dropoff at Recycled Reads, part of the Austin Public Library but they told me they’re closing in December. So then I felt like I needed to support them. So I went inside and $32 later this happened. Granted the Osmo itself is $20, so…
Medals and Awards: Less is more. Not only are more impactful rewards going to mean more, there’s also less waste created by making so many rewards and awards for absolutely everything. If you must use paper certificates and work hard on the animation. Austin Creative Reuse is one of the few places and ways I’m…
