Ask every member of your family to pick three to five items he or she no longer uses. Post them for sale on a free local bulletin board such as the ones at craigslist.org and kijiji.com. For electronics, try gazelle.com. Sports equipment, baby clothing and accessories, furniture and gaming consoles typically sell well. (You also can donate your stuff to a charity and get a tax break; click on "Claim Your Deductions" and then "Valuation Guide for Material Donations" at goodwill.org to see how much you can deduct.)
You'll Save: $670, the value of unused items in the average household
