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. Finding a new purpose for an old item is one of the joys of finding bargains at garage sales.

Why am I not thrifting gifts for my friends and family too. That is when I decided to thrift all of my gifts this year for Christmas. Some of the places I suggest looking for items include Flea Markets, Vendor Malls, Garage and Yard Sales, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy and antique stores. My bestie and I love to thrift together.

Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales. Some people were very angry that these parents didn’t spend money on their kids.

On Christmas eve, gangs of kids caroled from house to house.
The Frugal Girl
JANUARY 29, 2024
I was born frugal, into a super frugal family. Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. When college was looming, my parents offered to let me live at home cost-free while I was in college, as their contribution to my higher education. This means funds are tight.
