Heather, Yes, he liked the pillow, but he liked the book that went with it better. I gave him "1000 Events That Shaped Our World" from National Geographic.
I only bought that sweater for the nice shoulder pads because I wanted to use them in a shirt...which I never finished. They were just better pads than any new ones and it only cost $1.

Loretta, I have to admit that very little goes to waste at my house. What is left of the meat at one meal may be in a casserole or soup at the next. If I have to look at it too long, the dogs get it ( unless it is food they can't have) and if it stays in the fridge long enough to grow a green fuzz, then it goes in the compost. So it serves a purpose whatever the final destination.
I do accumulate wa-a-a-a-y too much 'stuff'. I get on a cleaning-out spree and take several boxes of things to the Thrift shop to donate. I unload at the sorting building, then cross the parking lot where they sell it and buy more than I gave them. :roll: BUT..I can always envision everything turning into something else.
I learned a long time ago, if the garment is cheap enough ( and you sew garments) you can get good buttons and shoulder pads from the old clothes. The Thrift store here sells almost everything in adult size for $1 except jeans which have now gone UP to $2, but sometimes they have 1/2 price sales on certain things and sometimes everything is half.

jbsstrawberry, I believe the sweater is too thick for book marks. The strand of yarn serves that purpose there, but I did consider making a little pocket to hold some bookmarks made from card stock. Just didn't have time.
