Goodwill
After compiling this huge list of senior discounts and freebies, I'm convinced that, if you're of a certain age, it's just a matter of asking to save money. Just remember to bring ID, as many retailers and restaurants will ask for proof of your age. After all, you look so young!
Clutter has taken over the American household. And I don't mean just the serious clutter that A&E features in TV shows about hoarders and storage lockers.

Reann Ballslee (pictured) is just like other 20-something college girls: She loves getting dressed up, doing her make-up and feeling fabulous. The only difference between Reann and other girls?

Goodwill receives a "kind" donation: $1,500 worth of pot

Summer clothing on super-sale: When Gap is cheaper than Goodwill
2:02PM 7/30/2008
True story. Last weekend I went shopping with my daughters on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, I was dragged by my eight-year-old into a local Gap where she convinced me to buy her and her sister the cutest little spaghetti-strapped tank tops on sale for just $3.99 each. The next day, after...

5:00PM 5/19/2008
Once or twice a year, I try to purge my closet of all of the clothes that either don't fit, are hopelessly outdated, stained or otherwise just been hanging around for too long. The items I can't seem to part with are those that I paid a lot of money for or the clothes that I never wore -- and they...
