I’m constantly trying to optimize our spending to find ways to save money, but still live quite comfortably and well. In April, we saved quite a bit of money by comparison shopping, and choosing thrift first. That’s money that stayed in our accounts. April’s Thrift Store Finds.

So far I’ve found the money in a variety of ways since February: In February, I received a check from Ebates for $40.92. This is money I earned from my Christmas shopping last year, so it’s appropriate that I apply it to my Christmas savings. In March, I added $70 in $1 bills that I had been setting aside for the past year.

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. At first, I thought my eyes were deceiving me, so I marched right into the DSW to see what shoes I could find around $49. I earned a free turkey from my regular grocery store, GIANT of PA.
