Introducing the 2015 Choose Thrift First Challenge

Family Balance Sheet

In 2015, the monthly challenge will be Choose Thrift First.

Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

The Frugal Girl

The manual was a 2016 Impreza with 98k miles, and the automatic was a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek with 66k miles, for any car enthusiasts. It’s not hard for me (anymore) to avoid expensive stores or fast fashion sites such as Shein and Temu, and instead shop at thrift stores or use my local BuyNothing group.
