Prairie Eco-Thrifter

OCTOBER 30, 2015

My favorite thrift store has a section dedicated to seasonal items. The number and variety of Halloween items in this thrift store surprised me. 2015 estimates of amount spent per house hold is around $70 – $75 dollars. Louis suburbs but had similar experiences with Halloween.

Between 2013 – 2015, we whittled that down and as of today we have just two loans left. 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.

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 17, 2018

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. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store. Plan our Spending. DONE – 6/1/2014.
