Likewise, thrift stores are always full of people. Rather than spending money buying clothes in a new size every few months, I bought at garage sales and thrift stores. We’re fortunate to have an aunt and uncle who love to have the latest electronics and cameras. I saved hundreds of dollars this way.

My Aunt, God rest her soul, saved Christmas paper and those silly little paper bows from year to year. Do you have old calendars with beautiful pictures? Shop garage sales and thrift stores and estate sales. What have you done to save money on wrapping, yet still present beautiful gifts? Use those as well.

You can pick up beautiful decorations, wreaths, linens, trees and more at these sales. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. Of course, you could do what my aunt used to do, and save paper from one Christmas to the next!! They kind of look like the ones for sale at Curious Country Creations.

Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. You go on a trip and buy a beautiful souvenir to remind you of the trip. My Aunt and Uncle (now in their 90’s) held a ‘living estate sale’ about 20 years ago.

My dad taught my mom how to drive manual, my uncle taught my aunt, my fiancé even taught his ex how to drive manual. 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.
