I’m in good company with my love of all things used. If you think buying used is just for people who are on a tight budget, think again. The most famous large family, the Duggars, routinely buy as much as they can used. Their motto is “Buy used and save the difference.”

You can even use voucher code websites to discover all of these deals in one place. By cutting down on eating out or ordering in food and instead buy the ingredients to make the same meal, whilst it is more effort to cook, this will save you huge sums of money in the long run. Buy Second-hand.

Hang clothes to dry. Instead, we have two large clothes drying racks in the basement. Creating clothing requires a lot of natural resources. Instead of having oodles of clothes, our family is minimizing our wardrobes. Don’t wash clothes until they’re truly dirty. Use mason jar containers.

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. I need spring clothes and I always find the cutest name brand tops at BJ’s at decent low prices.

A lot of the things that you’ll be buying will only be in use for a matter of months so it makes little sense to buy everything brand new if you’re on a budget. Don’t look to buy used car seats though as you can’t be sure of their safety and whether they have previously been involved in an accident. Please share.

So for 2015, I want to challenge myself and you, to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. That’s motivation to take some time to scour Craigslist and some local second hand furniture stores this week.
