Or you may have a collection of worn-out socks (specially on the sole and toe areas). You are saving them for something you could use it for in the future.

 Grocery brown bags or other brown bags accumulating? Don't thrown them away. You can use them to make nice and dainty stationary to write your grocery list or your recipe for next week's party or your shopping list or your to do list. That beats having to write on torn pieces of the same paper, or worse bringing the whole bag as your list.

 The other way we can use those sample credit cards is to make a "piggy bank" to teach your kid that an alternative to credit cards is to save up before spending. Be it for Christmas Fund or Birthday Fund or Summer Vacation Fund, saving will be fun while learning a financial lesson at the same time. Start them young!
