My husband and I purchased refurbished computers. My son has already learned that he can get more bang for his book dollar if he buys used. While we do frequent the library, there are some books that we like to re-read, and owning them is a practical solution. Most of the time, I buy new books using my Kindle.).

Some people keep their recipes on the computer, but I prefer my binder with its well-used, splattered pages. Aside from the large 4 inch binder for our office expenses, I haven't spent a fortune on these books. But I have seen a variety of binders at yard sales and thrift stores for pocket change.

Growing up in the fifties made me everlastingly grateful for a number of things, such as hot running water, central air conditioning, automatic dishwashers, TV remote control, the internet, personal computers (typewriters really sucked – no backspacing!), There were no personal computers. Conveniences. There was no internet.

Books, trendy clothes, dorm stuff, maybe a car, a computer and more are all on the hunt list. Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. We struggle to get more stuff – without money it can be difficult.
