We love smart ideas that we can also file under “Mitzvah-Nomics.” And this one is so smart and may save you a fortune. A big thanks to Mitzvah Mom Elyn for sending it in!

UsedEventStuff.com is a Website that was started by event planners who wanted to “make a difference in our market and in our world.” They write on their site that they see the waste that happens in the event planning industry: “beautiful, usable goods thrown out at curbside at the end of the night.” They realize that the cost of storage is the real culprit, not people who simply want to see these items go to waste, so they created a Website where you can go online and purchase “used event stuff.” You can buy, sell, search and there is even a “free stuff” category.
