Borrowing Instead of Buying

A great way to save money is to borrow things rather than buy new. This is also more environmentally friendly.

Having a party? Ask your neighbours or the party guests if you can borrow some serving supplies. Having a baby? Ask a friend if you can borrow his or her baby swing, baby clothes, crib sheets, etc. Pregnant? Look into borrowing a friend’s maternity clothing or at least purchasing second hand.

Want to change up your decor? See if you can swap wall hangings or couch cushions with a friend to change the look of your space. Have a reno or DIY project? Borrow the tools you need!
