Since we are going to throw them away any how, who cares if they are outdated. Stock up for next year's school party after Valentines or Easter. Put a festive napkin in your lunchbox to brighten your day around the holidays. Even paper table cloths make great wrapping paper for large, hard to wrap gift items (ie. bicycle).
It's also time to purchase those expensive (non-dated) graduation gifts for use in the coming year or two. Stock up on books, picture frames and the like. You will save up to 80% and these items store beautifully! Just be sure to place your treasures in a container that will keep them free from dust and wear and tear. I put mine in a lidded tub that fits under the bed.
Happy Saving!

Great idea! I use the back side of left-over Christmas wrap to make my own sewing patterns or copies of the original pattern. Just write the pattern's number (or make up your own) on each piece & what the piece is (sleeve, collar, etc) & how many to cut. Also add the grain-line arrow & if it's supposed to be "cut on fold" then copy the "cut on fold" arrow & your darts.

I love the idea of the paper table cloth for wrapping paper and I am going to get a tub and put under my bed also. This is a great idea! Robyn

Look for items in a champagne color, these could be used for anniversaries, Christmas, etc. Same goes for discounted holiday candies such as M and M's. Open the bags, pour the candies in a dish, separate them colors, repackage them, like colors together and ID the package and freeze or keep in a dry place till your next holiday or gift giving event. No one needs to know you purchased these items on discount. You'll be saving lots of money this way.
