After years of being broke, I always have the mentality that if I can make money for it, I'd rather sell it than give it away. I have a box of baby clothes and my church runs a food pantry and a closing closet. They are asking for donations of baby items but the minute I brought out the box I realized that they are perfect for consigning and I could probably make $30 dollars off of them which would go to getting my own kids used items they need like hats, boots, gloves. I consign a few times a year at a local used clothing store and it really helps me out. I sometimes think that I myself could be a charity case.
