My Mother's Group Community Swap - August 2018
Approximate $ Savings: $5 + $100+
I belong to a mums group which is run from our local community centre and we have teamed up with them to help us out as mums, as well as the needy in our local community. We have a clothing swap each month when we get together. We all brought in our old kids and adults clothes, shoes, books, linen or anything else in good order and we have a swap with other mums in our group. The community are allowed to come in with as many items as they like and swap them over for something else they need .. we run it ourselves and the community has really got behind us. We have been able to put people who needed them into houses full of furniture, kitchen items and linen. A bonus is I haven't bought much at all for my two year old daughter at all, I have swapped with others and got it for free, saving me thousands of dollars on things like her cot, the pram, clothes even nappies. It is well worth starting one even if you run it from your own home or local playgroup between yourselves. You never know what you might pick up or how much money you'll save.
