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?

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 need spring clothes and I always find the cutest name brand tops at BJ’s at decent low prices. See you on Thursday, May 28.

Certainly, we’ll never be able to beat Walmart prices but our quality isn’t Walmart level either so that makes sense! 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!

I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. You will likely have to accept a store credit for the current price if you don’t have a receipt, but that’s better than nothing. I am very picky about what I buy second hand, and I still find brand new or hardly worn clothing.

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.

Choose Thrift First. 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. Plan our Spending.
