I think that I heard about Kristen’s blog through Katy, the Non-Consumer Advocate. I don’t know how I heard about Katy’s blog first! For example, we’re very accustomed to buying anything we can second-hand at thrift stores, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace.

In fact, I found an old blog post of mine recently where I shared how I made over $300 at our annual neighborhood yard sale! This past winter I cleaned out closets and drawers in my quest to minimize and downsize our stuff and donated everything to the thrift store, rather than hold on to it for the spring sale. Yard Sale: $87.
