To save on #holiday shopping, make a list of #gift recipients and ideas for each. Then, track prices on desired merchandise. Retailer discounts may not be as generous as in past years, so be prepared to “pull the trigger” on reasonably priced finds. #HolidayShopping

Start looking now for one-of-a-kind finds at outlets such as Etsy, dollar stores and the #thrift stores supplied by generous #donations to ClothingDonations.org. With forethought, you can find vintage clothing, #holiday decorations and gift wrap on the cheap! #HolidayShopping

Inflation is getting so bad that three-quarters (77%) of Americans plan to adjust their 2026 gift-buying, the Penny Hoarder says, and half (51%) say inflation is driving “severe financial anxiety” about the #holidays. Plan ahead to stick to a budget! #HolidayShopping

To make #donating #clothing and #household items easy, keep a bag or box ready in a corner each room at all times. When they start to fill up, contact ClothingDonations.org for a #free #pickup and get those unwanted things out of the way — and start a new box. #QuickDonations

Speed #decluttering can get #donations to ClothingDonations.org together in a hurry. Pick a room and spend 10 minutes identifying things to trash or give away. Quick decisions can make a space brighter, healthier, more #organized and easier to keep #clean fast. #QuickDonation

Thirty minutes is all you need to get a #donation together for ClothingDonations.org. Get bags in place and tackle a problem area such as a closet. Make snap judgements based upon whether you’ve worn the item in the last year, not cost or “someday” potential. #QuickDonation

A capsule wardrobe of versatile, mix-and-match #garments can make #seasonal transitions easy and save money on shopping. Center your look on a few high-quality pieces with lasting appeal, and #trash or #donate anything that's worn, out-of-date or ill-fitting. #FallWardrobe

A “capsule” wardrobe — one made up of a small number of versatile garments — can help cope with #seasonal changes in the weather. The key is to have enough variety so you don’t get bored with your #clothes, but not so much that your #closet is overflowing. #FallWardrobe

Does the sudden shift to #fall have you scrambling for sweaters, jackets and flannel sheets? Many of us store #seasonal #clothing away for months; now's it's time to get that stuff out, sort it and keep only the things that work for you and your look. #FallWardrobe

#Fall is a feast for the senses, with colorful leaves, bonfires and pumpkin spice in the air, and the cozy feeling of sweaters and blankets. As you take stock of your fall #clothing, be sure to #donate anything you don't want to ClothingDonations.org! #AmericasFavoriteSeason

A recent Rasmussen Reports survey says that #fall improves the mood of 50% of Americans. Those positive feelings may stem from the excitement kids feel at #back-to-school time, the holidays, a return to routines and productivity, or simply better sleep. #AmericasFavoriteSeason

Fall begins today! While you may mourn the warm, lazy days of #summer, the new #season has plenty to offer in terms of new beginnings: getting back to a routine, plenty of festive #holidays to celebrate, the leaves changing color and football. #AmericasFavoriteSeason

When putting away #summer #clothing for the season, be sure to use #storage solutions that won't damage #garments. T-shirts and knits can be stored folded to avoid stretching, while structured garments should go on padded hangers and in bags if necessary. #StoringSummerClothing

When #storing #summer #clothing, be careful to avoid direct sunlight and excess moisture, which can damage garments. If you store them in a damp environment such as a basement, put #clothes in airtight bags and bins and consider using a dehumidifier. #StoringSummerClothing

Make sure that any #summer #clothing you plan to #store is clean before you put it away in a bin, basement or the back of a #closet. Clothing moths and other pests are attracted to dirt, stains and oils, so wash or dry-clean anything going into #storage. #StoringSummerClothing

Want fresh #summer produce all year long? Canning is ideal for pickled vegetables, sauces, and jams and jellies. Drying is great for herbs, peppers and many fruits. And freezing is good for berries, cut fruit and pasta sauce if you have the space. #SummerProduce

Fresh, local and homegrown #summer #produce is not only delicious, it's a sustainable choice. Buying locally grown foods support nearby farms and the economy, generating spending and jobs. And lower shipping costs cuts carbon emissions — a boon to the environment. #SummerProduce

Is there anything better than a juicy, ripe #summer #tomato, #homegrown or purchased from a local grower at the farmers market? Get them while you can; supermarket tomatoes are bred for high yields, disease resistance and long-distance travel, not flavor. #SummerProduce

Labor Day was borne from the late 19th-century labor movement to recognize the contributions of workers and organized labor. While synonymous with parades, backyard barbecues and the end of #summer, most people choose to rest and enjoy life outside of work. #LongWeekend

Put life on pause for the long #weekend! Pretend it's a #vacation even if you stay at home. Do something that doesn't involve work, chores or other obligations. Unplug from your devices and decompress with a no-expectations a hike or coffee date. #LongWeekend
