Today we’re meeting a reader who only found my blog a few months ago; I love that she already volunteered to do a Meet a Reader post. It’s not hard for me (anymore) to avoid expensive stores or fast fashion sites such as Shein and Temu, and instead shop at thrift stores or use my local BuyNothing group.

For the past two years, I have held monthly accountability challenges on the blog. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target or Kohl’s when I’m in that part of town. For one-time special occasions, ask friends if you can borrow instead of buying new.

I talk a lot about grocery spending on this blog. My absolute #1 way for saving money at the grocery store is to PLAN OUR MEALS. Thrift : I regularly stop by my favorite local thrift store and find crazy bargains. Borrow : For one-time special occasions, ask friends if you can borrow instead of buying new.
