One weekend, I headed to a home
improvement showcase at a civic center. A
girlfriend asked me along saying, “Bring a
tote bag. There will be great swag.” So
there I was, tote bag over my shoulder,
collecting swag…the popular name for
“free-stuff-nobody-needs-but-you-take-
anyway.”
Once I got home, I was sorry I picked up
things here and there. What did I need
with a coozie touting a pool company,
more ink pens, a jar opener from a
plumber, or key chains from the locksmith.
If I really put each item where it went, it
would take an hour...and I didn’t need any
of it.
Bottom line, just because it’s free doesn’t
mean you need it. Have fun looking and
leave it behind.
