My husband and I were married nearly 10 years ago. We had a registry, and as often happens, some items were duplicated such as kitchen and bath towels and toasters. (We received 3 toasters!)
While we returned one of the toasters, we kept the spare and all of the towels, even though there were more than we registered for. We put all of the extras in a plastic tub and stored them in the basement of our apartment. We have already gone through both toasters.
Last year, when our kitchen towels started to look quite worn and a few had developed holes, we didn’t go shopping at the store for new ones, we shopped in our tub in the basement. Now we have nice, new kitchen towels that didn’t cost us a dime.

This is excellent! I have a couple of young friends getting married (as well as my own son) so I'm going to pass this tip along to them! Wish I had thought of it 26years ago! 😀
Excellent advice…even to take into life now when there are BOGO deals on things like that!
