I pick up things for my family members sometimes too. Like I’m not a hot dog or ketchup fan but I got the recent free coupons for those for my sister who doesn’t seem to eat anything but hot dogs.

Sorry I missed this post! This really touches on a lot of what we were discussing in my Frugal series- I think you have some good and valid points. I personally have not bought anything that I can’t use- or at least know someone personally to give it to. (For example, my step-dad uses Excedrin, so when I found a great deal I bought 2 bottles for him).

I know other people donate to charity, but I really want to make sure what I’m getting will go to good use. As you pointed out, they can always use money!

Great topic!

I love the concept of reusing and donating things you don't use. We all accumulate way too much junk that seemed like a great idea at the time but half the time, they were just impulse buys and we end up not using them when others would. I wrote a similar article called Rethinking recycling that I think you would enjoy quite a bit. Hope you'll stop by. This was my first stop here, great blog and great writing. I will be back again for sure!
