Helped mil do some cleaning and she gave me a huge bag of yarn- really high quality stuff, and full skeins with many multiples I gave it to a neighbor who is in a church group that knits hats and mittens for military base kids and as a thank you they invited us to their church dinner. All around a fun time and in the end good for all. They do a lot for these kids as their parents are mostly in the Middle East for some tours. They had a huge backpack drive for the kids and the left at home moms and dads are so appreciative. For Christmas they are doing a pajama and book drive so I am keeping my eye out for pajamas with the sales, especially with the discounts some stores offer. I like the work they do, and I know it helps these young military families. For me part of frugality is being able to share. You can't buy the feeling of satisfaction that comes from it.
