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. The most famous large family, the Duggars, routinely buy as much as they can used. I love buying electronics this way rather than paying the high sticker price. Do you buy used?

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. For curiosity sake, I stopped by a local furniture store and saw some really cute new dressers that cost $500-$700.

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.

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’m a bit squeamish about bringing used upholstered furniture into my house.

Buy second hand. Goodwill and thrift stores offer great prices on new and gently used items. Nursery furniture and toys can be picked up at a fraction of the price. Don’t run your air conditioner unless it’s essential and turn off lights and appliances that aren’t needed.
