I love to buy things second hand. Not only do I save a significant amount of money, but I also keep those still useable items out of the landfill. Likewise, thrift stores are always full of people. If you think buying used is just for people who are on a tight budget, think again. Do you buy used?

In 2013, The Christmas Savings Club encouraged all of us to save monthly so that we could have a cash Christmas. 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.

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. After shopping locally at some furniture stores, I resorted to Craigslist and spent hundreds less on a new-to-her dresser.
