Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. I look for the neighborhood sales, which are usually either in spring or fall.

But, we also need stuff for emotional support – stuff to remind us that we are part of a generations old family, that we have accomplished significant tasks, seen impressive places and conquered difficult situations. Kids will naturally accumulate stuff, even when they can’t buy it. You may throw some stuff away.

Tell us about you and your family. Amanda currently homeschools their three kids. She blogs about books at [link]. We realized that we wanted to travel as a family and the only thing keeping us from seeing the world was money. Did you follow a particular debt freedom plan or book, such as Dave Ramsey or Debt-Proof Living?

The Toothpaste Millionaire is a juvenile level book that has many lessons to teach. I’m reading it to my Grand-kids this year in Grandma Rie’s Money Camp and needed an activity to go with it. It will help your family foster their creative side. Why develop your own board game? You might save money (but not time!).

There have been countless times I have seen nearly new, decorator pieces being sold for pennies on the dollar at garage sales because the homeowner decided to re-decorate. Instead of taking the family to a movie, have a home movie night with friends and family. Avoid re-decorating your home every few years.

According to the July 15, 2010 Back to School Survey from the National Retail Federation, the average family spent around $600 per child for back to school needs, split between clothing (37%); electronics (30%); shoes (17%) and school supplies (16%). I love to shop garage sales. Bulk buys can be a lot cheaper. Go Collegiate.
