For many, the end of the year holiday shopping frenzy can override our saner, more thrifty selves. Sometimes, as we shop we see things we would like to own and decide to treat ourselves with a gift or two as well. There are still more ‘me’ gifts I’d like to buy, but I’ve managed to hold off so far.

If you want to save money, one of the best options is to buy used. Not only can buying something second-hand help you save money, but it also reduces the amount of resources that you use. Buying used is one way to increase the sustainability of your life. It was much cheaper to buy these items gently used. Baby Items.

Collect your bills and start shopping around for new vendors. Did you buy the materials to make that cute craft that you found on Pinterest but the bag is still sitting in your dining room…3 months later? I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores.

You might be able to find one at a consignment shop, a sewing machine repair shop, or ask relatives or friends if they have one that you could either buy or borrow. If you’re on a limited budget and a new sewing machine is out of the question, look for a used one.
