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. If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. I love a bargain.

Many believe that early childhood examples and upbringing contribute greatly to the saver’s predisposition to save. As teenagers, we may be madly saving up for a car. As a young mom, I saved like mad – going to garage sales, thrift stores and accepting hand me downs on toys and clothing. Time of life.

You can find lightly used clothes and toys at garage sales or thrift stores to save as much as 90 percent off retail, according to LivingOnADime.com, a site dedicated to frugal living. In the above example of the sofa, maybe you could get free delivery or throw pillows instead. Another great item to buy used is your car.

Home decorating is another area where it may be possible to sew your own cheaper than buying. Today it is much less expensive to buy your clothes, even if you buy brand new and certainly if you shop some of the chic re-sale shops or even the thrift stores. To decorate. I’d rather see you be a CEO or business owner!

It’s not as hard as you may think to still enjoy a great life while living more frugally. You may be able to afford a larger house, but that doesn’t mean you should live in one. Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. Eat out less. Do it yourself.
