I was trying to put a cap on Christmas gifts for the family this year--but that didn't work. So instead we have a new rule--every gift must be used. Joe College has already made several trips to his favorite store, Goodwill. There are tradeoffs--while we're buying used stuff, driving around to all those thrift stores uses more gas. But it encourages creativity and means that we don't have to fight the crowds at Best Buy.
OLGS bought a skimpy tree because that was all that was left on the lot and he didn't want to drive to a tree farm. He justified this by stating that land used to grow trees could feed millions. What he neglected to note that the land on which trees are grown is generally
unfit for any other agricultural purpose.But I've discovered a whole new dimension to shopping.
