Another Option to Magazine Recycling

Our house is often overwhelmed with magazines. As a magazine editor, I often brought home multiple and would buy others. My husband also gets them through his job. Once we look through them, we add them to a box in our garage for taking to the recycling center (only a couple of places in our city take magazines).

I've recently discovered another option. Several of our local charities/thrift shops take old magazines. Many people buy them for ideas or school collages--things that don't matter how old the issue is.

If you do recycle them, remember you're supposed to remove any blown-in or bound-in cards (like subscription cards, perfume samples, etc.). Just take them out as you read through the magazine so you don't have to do it later.

Consignments Sales for Baby - link

I'm always on the lookout for consignments sales with baby items. They tend to have great variety and prices, and of course, reusing items is always a plus. The clothes and gear are generally in great shape, although you should always inspect your potential purchases carefully. Once you buy it, you're stuck with it!

Here is a link to a site with a great list of sales (you can search by state, city, etc.):
