Few try to repair or get it repaired. I remember when there was a shoe repair shop on almost every corner. You could take your radio to the radio and TV repair shop down the street, but most things you could probably fix yourself. Actually repairing a broken item yourself will give you a nice sense of accomplishment.

I fixed Zoe’s red sweatshirt She works at Target, so she either has to wear a red Target vest or a red shirt, and I’m proud to say that she has thrifted a bunch of her red tops. I will say, GenZ is not afraid to thrift, and I love that! I am happy to say that Zoe promptly wore both of these repaired items. ?

Thrift stores are for more than just clothing, and they are great places to find used furniture for cheap. The first thing that you have to do is look at thrift stores in a new light. If you are looking for ways to cut costs in your household, you should take the time to check out some of the thrift stores in your area.

I received a 10-day repair order, and I figured that this was probably a job I could handle myself (with the assistance of YouTube, OF COURSE.) So, now I just gotta pop into the police station and have them sign my repair order to certify that my headlight is indeed in working order again. I tried a thrift store first, but came up dry.

Instead, you may want to check out thrift stores or buy classic, high-quality items that will last longer. So, when “unpleasant surprises” arise, like a car repair or medical bill, you’re confident that you have enough money set aside to cover these. Rather, it's about making choices that align with your values.

For example, we’re very accustomed to buying anything we can second-hand at thrift stores, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace. I think the easiest part is things that are habitual so I no longer need to use will-power to resist the temptation. We’ve saved so much money over the years shopping that way.
Family Balance Sheet

In April, we saved quite a bit of money by comparison shopping, and choosing thrift first. Upon more online research, my husband felt the new repair would be beyond his ability, so we started looking on Craigslist. April’s Thrift Store Finds. My next stop was my favorite thrift store, Community Aid.
