The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 9, 2024

My husband and I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon with our three kids, ages 4-6. My cute kids when they were little I used to be a Spanish teacher until I stopped working to stay home with my kids. Additionally, it’s really important to us to have money to give to our kids so we save for that reason too.

Hiking and Nature Walks This is another great option that you can do by yourself or with your kids. You can even make a game of it with your kids and challenge them to identify certain trees and plants, just watch out for poison ivy! Try buying second hand books or looking for inexpensive e-books to save money.

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.

Family Balance Sheet

FEBRUARY 16, 2016

I am very picky about what I buy second hand, and I still find brand new or hardly worn clothing. The neighbor kids are doing quite well on my street. I truly am not opposed to shopping at retail stores, but I regularly find what I need for myself and my daughters at thrift stores and spend 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. I want to focus on being content with what I have and I’m pretty sure I’ll survive. Choose Thrift First.
