I think the best frugal thing I can think of that everyone can do is have a garage sale. I have had one every year for many years either by myself, with my daughter or a friend. One year my friend and I had 3 at different locations. We paint items we find in the junk and sell for reuse. We have it the week end before Mother's Day and plant flowers in cute containers to sell for the event.
I sew and do crafts so I am able to sell my creations. Besides getting rid of stuff and making money it is fun to talk to the people who come. We sell pop and donuts. We've been complimented on our displays. We really have fun. The shoes and clothes get sold for 50 cents an item. Cheap, cheap, cheap. The money adds up though.
