The Good Life For Less: Choose To Reuse

(WCCO) -- When I put away my summer clothes to prepare for the fall and the ... (sigh) ... winter weather, it always strikes me as a good time to clean out my closet, get a bag ready for donations, and make room for the new clothes I'm sure that I'll accumulate through the season.

Well, if you are already planning on updating your wardrobe with some items, then Hennepin County has a deal for you!

You can print off a 2010 Choose To Reuse Today coupon book that has free coupons and special deals to encourage people to buy used or rent before buying brand new products.

You will find deals for clothes of course, but also for furniture, appliances, CDs and record stores, sports equipment, bikes, books and more! Click here for a list of all retail partners.

Coupons are good from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, 2010, so happy 'green' shopping everyone!
