I love to buy things second hand. 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. The Items We Typically Buy Used.

Certainly, we’ll never be able to beat Walmart prices but our quality isn’t Walmart level either so that makes sense! The grain mill was an investment but if you compare the cost of homemade sourdough bread to store bought loaves of equivalent quality, it’s a huge savings. What’s your biggest splurge?

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.

Have you ever bought a pair of shoes that looked really cute in the store, but ended up sitting in your closet?

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.
