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’m going to try sharpening the blades before I give up on it completely. Do you buy used?

Additionally, it’s really important to us to have money to give to our kids so we save for that reason too. For example, we’re very accustomed to buying anything we can second-hand at thrift stores, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace. Gretchen, thanks so much for participating!

Buy second hand. Goodwill and thrift stores offer great prices on new and gently used items. If a couple is done having children they may have plenty of gently used items they can give or sell you on the cheap. Nursery furniture and toys can be picked up at a fraction of the price.

I want to challenge myself 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. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something.
