We Mommas know that there is always a need to clean out the closets. You've got clothes you haven't worn in years in the back; clothes you wonder why you ever purchased them; clothes that you plan to wear when you lose that last 10 pounds.

Here's a good reason to finally do some weeding out -- and the best part is you do something nice and you get a little something in return. The annual Give & Receive event at Stein Mart to benefit the Salvation Army lets you trade gently used clothes for 20-percent off coupons to use at the Mart. There is a four-coupon limit, but who's to say you can't hopscotch around to different locations?

And even better -- you can clean out the kids' closets as well and donate those clothes too. Tax receipts are available for donations.

Now, all we need is the energy to clean out the closets. Do it quick -- the event is Thursday through Saturday.
