What do you do with your old clothes?

[monnee]

Definitely donate to charities where other people can use them.

If they are still nice looking I give them to Good Will/Salvation Army.  If they are crappy they usually become rags for around the house as dust clothes or in the garage for cleaning up messes.  I don't know anyone younger/ close to my size or I would offer to them first.

With my household old clothes i usually find someone that can use them. if i can't then i might do a yard sale or go to the flea market and get a little cash for them. Once i'm tired of them sitting around i will take them to either goodwill or salvation army.

I used to have a garage sale every spring and every fall and would sell some clothes in that but what didn't sell I would donate or in some cases keep till next garage sale.  I haven't been able to have a garage sale in a couple of years though since I keep grandkids now;  I don't keep them on saturday but it takes couple of days of prep time for a garage sale and 2 of my grandkids are young and can't be left in house by themselves to ready for a garage sale.  Maybe one day though

Donations then get a receipt for tax credit

 :wave:I usually donate my old clothes to salvation Army or Goodwill like most others have said. But one of the things I like to do with some of the right material clothes, such as T-shirts, towels, and  socks, is use them for rags. Old socks can be used for most anything, but you don't have to re-use them again. If you use the sock for a dirty clean-up job, just throw it away!

I donate mine to a non-profit called Hannah's Closet which helps battered women.  They give me a receipt so I can use it for a tax deduction.

DO you give to other family or neighbors for hamidowns or do you donate to goodwill for tax deduction garage sales ?? I used to give to ounger siblings and stuff but now they are older and have more of a style going to give a ton of clothes away this summer to clean my room and to donate for a cause better then just sitting in my room and a tax deduction wouldnt be bad either What do you guys do ?

I completely agree that donating to needy members of the community is a far better thing to do than have the clothes continue to collect dust in the closets.  But, at times I too will give things to other family members and/or friends.  I consider this my way of also recycling so I think it's a good thing!!!  When my kids were little I would bring their gently used clothes to shelters where I knew there were families with children who could benefit not only from the clothes my kids outgrew but also the toys!!!!

I will donate my clothes (but only if they're still nice enough to wear) to Veterans and families of Veterans.  I'm not looking to make money off my clothes or even get a tax deduction.  I just want to support Veterans any way I can.

I donate everything that is still good, not torn or stained to goodwill. The rest are torn up and used for grease rags out at the farm. Except for socks and tee shirts i use them in my crafts and cleaning house.

My ex used to donate hers to a local thrift store. But one day she was back shopping and bought a dress she really liked. I said, that looks like one you donated to the thrift store.  OMG, it was she said, she donated it and bought it back. I wonder how many of these local thrift stores make money on customers that donated and bought it back. Great it helps the local thrift store, as they raise money for other charities, but what a laugh we had

[pjlicari17]

Donate them.

I used to donate my old clothes but not anymore because when I go shopping I spend at least 800 on new name brand clothes, I go shopping every 3 months. I loose and gain weight quick. I was in a size 16 in jeans 2 months ago now I wear 13. Not donating my old clothes saved me 800 so far this year. I have a total of 87 pairs of $70 shoes and up. I cant waist money on cheap shoes cuz they tear up quick. I have my own buisness and have people working for me, I pay out 1200 every 2 weeks. In a few months I will be on my 2nd building to hire new people.

I give them to friends in need and donate some of them.

[aprilmurphy26]
