Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 29, 2015

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. In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money.

This post and giveaway are sponsored by GIANT Food Stores. In an effort over the years to save money at the grocery store and reduce our waste, I’ve found reusable alternatives to many paper products that we were using. Use reusable containers with lids rather than plastic wrap and aluminum foil to store leftovers.

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. Maybe I’m still recovering from the Christmas shopping frenzy, but I had little desire to step into a store.

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. March Update: I did a little shopping in March and it was mostly for our oldest daughter. You’ll save yourself so much money.

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. Our youngest daughter’s dresser practically disintegrated into pieces over the holiday break.

Have you ever bought a pair of shoes that looked really cute in the store, but ended up sitting in your closet? 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? There are online sites that will buy books. Bringing in Extra Money.

We hit our Annual Household Portion (kind of like a deductible) of $10,000 with Medi-Share in 2017 when our daughter had an unexpected medical condition arise that required multiple tests, 3 surgeries, and medication. I won’t rehash our health insurance story here, because I have written extensively about it and INCLUDED OUR NUMBERS.
