Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 29, 2015

We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget. In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money. Daughter and mommy were both thrilled. The Choose Thrift First Challenge.

We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget. I made one trip to my favorite thrift store during their dollar days sale. I found a pair of blue jeans for myself for $3 and some clothes for my daughters for $1 a piece. The Choose Thrift First Challenge.

We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget. March Update: I did a little shopping in March and it was mostly for our oldest daughter. But I also found success at a thrift store. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

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. Our youngest daughter’s dresser practically disintegrated into pieces over the holiday break.
