Hello everyone and happy Friday! The Friday links are back now too so take a peak at what caught my attention my first week back. How to Shop for Furniture at Thrift Stores. I am back in the country now and finally over my jet lag (that was rough – 13 hour flip). I know you missed me…lol. I just love it there.

I usually donate on Friday and Sunday mornings, but I was super busy in May and wasn’t able to get to the donation center. This past winter I cleaned out closets and drawers in my quest to minimize and downsize our stuff and donated everything to the thrift store, rather than hold on to it for the spring sale.

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. My latest grocery routine is to place an online order for a Friday morning pickup. I started picking up my groceries instead of going into the store to shop last year, long before Covid.

If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. Expect to pay a bit more in a thrift store, but if it is run by a charitable organization, you can feel good about paying a few bucks more because you are helping out the cause. Garage sales and thrift stores are great places to find books and DVDs. Books and DVDs.

I took Friday off and we finally had some time to do a little thrifting. We also hit a few thrift stores, and again, I did not really find what I needed, but I got a couple things anyway. I don’t know what it is, but thrift shopping is so draining. I see people refer to stuff they got at Buffalo Exchange as “thrifted”.

Choose Thrift First Challenge. In 2015, the monthly challenge will be the Choose Thrift First Challenge. We will be challenging ourselves to resist buying retail and instead choose thrift by borrowing, buying second hand, or making do with what we already have. This should start next week and my goal is to post on Fridays.

And I’ve discussed with Nathan your desire to see a guest post from him with his top tips for thrifting and I’ve started thinking about tips on how I find the things I do at Target and the like. My photos last Friday came out unintentionally kind of awesome. So keep them coming! I love how dark and cold they look. It was 100% ME.

Choose thrift first. And rather than throw unused possessions away, donate to a thrift store or offer up on Freecycle.org. I’ll randomly choose a winner at 6:30 am EST on Friday, April 29. You will save about $2.50 a day, and avoid sending those paper cups to the landfill. Recently, we were in need of a twin sized box spring.

We had hundreds of resale, consignment and thrift store owners come and see us on Friday. On Sunday, Kerstin Block stopped in to see us (she had come by Friday as well, but before my shift) and I got to meet her, which was really exciting. Last week we had a big week at the store. And I am so glad I did! It was SO MUCH FUN!

On Thursday nights, I write out my meal plan using my Dinner This Week Pinterest board and my cookbooks and then place an online order at Giant for a Friday morning pick-up. On Friday morning, I pull into the drive-through during my allotted time and my groceries are placed in the back of my car.

So Saturday I went thrifting with my husband and some friends. I’ll be honest, my husband tends to have all of the thrifting luck in our family. Not too sad for a punny title though) And with that, I’ll move on to pics I do have, which are from last Friday. But Saturday I had some pretty amazing luck. I love this top.

On Friday, March 13th, the PA Governor shut down schools and closed non-essential businesses. Thankfully, my pragmatic side took over and we decided to replace our tires and take the next year or so to save up enough money to buy a vehicle with cash. Boy am I glad we don’t have that loan right now! March 2020 arrived.

Thankfully I do have a gift card from a Best Buy Black Friday deal that I can use to cover the cost! Sell Stuff I have a bin in our closet that I collect items we no longer need and when the bin is full, I either sell the items or deliver them to the thrift store. I then used that cash to buy coffee, milk, and eggs. It was a win-win!

Friday after work Nathan wanted to go out for Tex-Mex, so I changed my blouse for this tee: I didn’t see “ Get Him to the Greek ” in the theater, and I didn’t even see it for a while after it came out on DVD. So, weekend and evening looks.I I love a band tee. I think they go with everything. Skirts, jeans, cut offs, whatever.
Frugal Luxuries

You may call it by other names such as prudence , sparingnes s and thrift , whatever your choice may be it always means the unwillingness to squander goods and spend money unnecessarily. Frugality. A humble word, it is derived from two ancient Latin words, frugalis and frux , both meaning." It is the careful use of goods and resources.
