Shwa Girl's dirty brag: Compost. Free!
I can see the mods ready to press the dump button on this dirty brag:)
This is actually a clean brag. Stores have been advertising $0.99 dirt. Dirt cheap. What's better than dirt cheap?

My donation to the Sally Ann who were there:
canned salmon, oatmeal, soup, chili
Health and Beauty Aids (HABA): Vaseline for Men, Dove for Women, Listerine (no alcohol kind), toothpaste, toothbrush
The Sally Ann volunteer lady said, "These toiletries, this is the good stuff. Are you sure you want to give all this?". It's Karma -- what goes around comes around, eh? So that's why I added the HABA to the donation.
Nice way to end the birthday week, eh?
Free.
Next event, recycle electronics for free. Last time we donated an old answering machine and got free large can of paint. They forgot to bring the paint so the gave us two big cans of paint. At Wally's the paint starts at $16.xx+++
