Frugal Friday: H&M 15% savings & good deed

Hi! You know how H&M is very inexpensive? What if I told you it could be even less expensive? They have a new promotion called, 'fashion-conscious'. In each store, there is a bin to donate gently used clothing. Something we should all do regularly. Seeing as we are changing seasons, it's a good time. If you do it at H&M, you'll get 15% off.

Questions to ask when making donating decisions:

• if I gain 5 pounds, does it still fit?

• have I worn it in the past year?

• if I saw this in the store right now, would I buy it?

• does it have sentimental value? (Limit 5 items per wardrobe!)

• is it without spot or wrinkle?

• are you willing to invest in alterations for this piece to fit properly?

If you answered 'no' to 4 or more questions above consider donating it. If you donate to goodwill, get your receipt for tax purposes. If you donate to H&M, check your receipt for 15% off.

I will post some items that I'm donating this year soon, you'll see what I'm deciding against as we move into fall.

I did buy this jeweled sweater for the season with 15% off. It'll be in my fall/winter shoot this weekend. Pictures coming soon. Can't wait to show you how I styled it!

God Bless,

Green
