Prairie Eco-Thrifter

Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. I love a bargain. My best finds.

I wonder if I’m really being frugal or if I am just being cheap. To me, frugal implies using resources in the wisest fashion and cheap implies a specific focus on getting the lowest price. Help me out, am I being cheap or just smart about money? I save tape and paper and old paint drop sheets. Cheap or frugal?

Check out some thrift stores, vintage stores, flea markets, and garage sales. One project that almost anyone can do with just a few of the right tools is painting. Pick out your desired paint color at the hardware store and ask the sales person what you will need to paint a room. But there is good news.
