My husband and I got hooked on store bought iced tea years ago, but it was loaded with sugar and at the rate we were drinking it, the tea cut into our food budget. Don’t spend too much money on a sun tea jar, I see them at yard sales and thrift stores all of the time. This post is linked to Thrifty Thursday.

The icing on the cake was when I was leaving Maine on my way home to Boston, I stopped at this awesome thrift store right before I got to the highway in York. I was so excited when I left the store, I could hardly contain myself. Tags: Thrifty-ness. I am back from my amazing trip to Maine. This place was heaven!!

For many, the end of the year holiday shopping frenzy can override our saner, more thrifty selves. Spending our precious and all too limited time searching online and in stores. Stores also stock up on gift sets with cosmetics for the holidays and may need to move it fast in January. I know I do. Cosmetics and jewelry.

Instead, you may want to check out thrift stores or buy classic, high-quality items that will last longer. Rather, it's about making choices that align with your values. For example, you need not go for expensive brands and the latest trends whenever you shop.

Be willing to sacrifice- there are things we had to do that made us look weird: home school, skip eating out as much with family, doing my own hair & nails, getting a wardrobe from the thrift store and forgoing paper towels. We still look for bargains and shop at thrift stores. Debt Free Stories debt free'

Make it be known that that that there is nothing wrong in purchasing second-hand items from thrift stores, yard sales, or via classified ads or even online via places like eBay or Craigslist.

Ordering online really challenges me to plan every single meal for the week, which I believe saves me extra trips to the store. Instead of buying gallons of iced tea at the store which can cost about $2.50 for store-bought iced tea. Thrifty Finds in February: I try to hit up my favorite thrift store at least once a month.

Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. I found beautiful, brand new travertine floor tiles at one sale and the owner pointed me to the store from which she purchased them – in case I needed a few more. Rattan loveseat and ottoman – $25. What is one of your best finds?

However, we could use a year of extra thriftiness to find any extra funds to accelerate the $10k. Choose Thrift First. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something. Non-necessities might take a back seat–for this year.
