Family Balance Sheet

DECEMBER 4, 2020

November is the start of what can be an expensive season. Frugal Wardrobe in November: I have a small bedroom closet, so I like to keep my wardrobe fairly lean, but highly functional. While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans.

MAY 25, 2019

On the 25th of every month from January to November in 2019, I will hold a virtual meeting on the blog to give updates on our progress, motivate one another, and help all of us save for a cash Christmas. This should cover my tentative 2019 Christmas budget that I based on what we spent in 2018. My monthly goal is $100.

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.

We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget. At the beginning of the month, we were in the market for a bedroom dresser because my youngest daughter’s dresser fell apart over the holidays. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?
