"I'm embarrassed to admit it but this year I swapped my kids' old
toys for what they would think were new ones on a swapping
website."

Romi: The only people you SHOULDN'T admit this to is your kids
-- everyone else should know about it and follow your lead! I
actually discovered a great article about online "Swap Meets"
written by a mom blogger friend, Christine Koh of Boston
Mamas in Shoestring Magazine ( a must
read for everyone interested in stretching a dollar).
Christine touts the notion of using swap sites to reduce, reuse and
recycle, but frankly, I took it a step further and thought, hey,
what better way to "buy" new gifts for this holiday season.
Hopefully, as our TMC mom did, you'll be able to find a gently used
Wii game your son is just dying for in exchange for last years must
have xbox game that is gathering dust on the shelf. It's a win win
for all.
Check out these sites Christine found:

Report AbuseWhat a great idea! Way to save $ and recycle! I'd do this as long as the stuff was clean.
