Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 5, 2015

In 2014, the Grocery Budget Challenge encouraged us to keep our grocery spending in line and to be creative with our meal planning so that we do not over-spend. In 2015, the monthly challenge will be Choose Thrift First. Instead of buying new this year, ask yourself these questions: Can I borrow from someone?

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. But I also found success at a thrift store. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. Maybe I’m still recovering from the Christmas shopping frenzy, but I had little desire to step into a store.

I want to challenge myself to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something.
