Thrift stores are for more than just clothing, and they are great places to find used furniture for cheap. Some thrift stores only focus on smaller items like clothing. Tip: Leaving your cards at home, or at least in the car, will help you stick to your budget because you can only use the cash that you have on hand.

I save tape and paper and old paint drop sheets. I had to part with $35 to buy one of those paint masks to even be able to apply it. I use old casual office clothes to work around the house. I have a closet full of work clothes I wore to the office for 20 years, mostly casual slacks and blouses. I hate buying clothes new.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. I can park my car and walk from sale to sale, getting a bit of exercise, enjoying the fine weather and seeing the architecture and landscaping of the homes along the way. I hate waste and I see it all the time. Outdoor bench (I refurbished it) $5.

School is in session ; and that means time to get your school supplies, supply for the classes and as a teacher, as much as you all do for teaching our precious kids, we want to help out as much as we can — including many stores that offer discount travel, school supplies, clothes, or food, these stores get extra credit with teachers.

Color themes are a great way to go because you can decorate for them easily and inexpensively with colored table clothes, napkins, plastic ware, and so on. Take some old phonebooks or textbooks and use them to make platforms on the table, and then cover the whole thing with a large table cloth. So, there you have it.

Create your own changing station by placing the cloth-covered changing pad on top of a dresser. When your child outgrows diapers you can continue using the dresser for her clothing. Give that set of sturdy, bright orange bookshelves new life with several coats of white paint. Reupholster Second-Hand Furniture. Roller Shades.

If you want to buy kids toys or clothes, look for new home neighborhoods with lots of pre-school or grade school aged kids. I found a scooter for $1, a dollhouse for $75 and lots of kid clothes, worn once or twice and then outgrown. It would have been perfectly functional (although a bit rusty) as is, but hubby decided to paint it.

I trimmed grass around the house, I was on call to help Dad fix cars, paint the house or help Mom pick and can the plums and etc. They did not have to buy their clothes, food and etc with it. For that allowance I was expected to do part of the household work. From that allowance, I saved up to buy my very first two wheeler bike.

How would you pay for an unexpected car repair? Do you take your car to a car wash? I love a pedicure too, but if you’re trying to save money, try to paint your piggies yourself. I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. Pretty nails and toes?

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. And art supplies: I like to paint and draw, so every now and then I splash out. Makeup, nail polish, and clothes. But I had to SHOP for clothes. Cloth diapering. an illustration I did for one of my son’s books.
