Sure I knew about the ‘White sales’ – the ones stores used to have in January on sheets and towels and such, but I really hadn’t a clue that there is a best time to buy many other things! However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. Winter clothes. Brand name TVs.

On January 1st, I declared my word for 2014 to be DECLUTTER. I pulled out clothes that I don’t wear and I’ll donate to the thrift store. The shoe shelf in our garage. In the first 3 weeks of 2014, I have made some decluttering progress. In the first 3 weeks of 2014, I have made some decluttering progress.

When my daddy passed last January, I inherited all the heavy farm labor responsibilities- I never knew I could have impressive muscles😊 It feels like I’ve been going to a homesteading college this year, it’s a love/hate relationship. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing.

Every January 1, I get caught up in the hopeful feeling of the upcoming new year. Most of them are related to our small business, my husband’s chiropractic office, but last January I got a bee in my bonnet about debt…thank you, Dave Ramsey. Choose Thrift First Challenge. Lots of possibilities and many opportunities.

Choose Thrift First. I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell.

I have started calling around for fees and hope to have this complete by end of January. Choose Thrift First.

I've been tackling clutter since January and I had the boxes stacked in my garage to prove it. You should claim as the value the price that buyers of used items actually pay in used clothing stores, such as consignment or thrift shops.". However, this year we were in Pittsburgh and I missed out on the event.and the cash.
