So glad to see this! Tremendous waste happens outside of college dorms.

Americans throws away nearly 1,800 pounds of trash each year. One Illinois University is teaching students recycling skills that will not go to waste.

You might find something perfect for Mother's Day at the Free Market! Bring the kids and let them choose something for Mom. And don't forget to get gift bags, ribbons and cards.

Soon there will be decoration days at many local cemeteries. We also have artificial flowers and greenery, vases and other floral supplies.

And if you have someone graduating this spring, we have a few graduation supplies and gifts.

Never let a lack of money stop you from gifting and celebrating your loved ones. Remember, it's the thought that counts!
