For many, the end of the year holiday shopping frenzy can override our saner, more thrifty selves. Spending our precious and all too limited time searching online and in stores. Sometimes, as we shop we see things we would like to own and decide to treat ourselves with a gift or two as well. All things Christmas.

I can honestly say that I did very little shopping (outside of groceries) in February. Maybe I’m still recovering from the Christmas shopping frenzy, but I had little desire to step into a store. I did go into a big box store two times in February. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

Since November is always a big month for sales and coupons and the beginning of the cold season, I do most of my winter clothing shopping during this month. While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans. Yes, please!

In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money. After shopping locally at some furniture stores, I resorted to Craigslist and spent hundreds less on a new-to-her dresser. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

Thrift Shopping has never been a absolute favorite past time for me. I have several friends that swear by Thrift Shopping but for me, being able to shop for what I want without the hassle of searching endlessly is worth the extra money. WHO KNOW THRIFTING COULD BE SO MUCH FUN AND REWARDING!!! STAY TUNED!!!

In the fall, after first frost, I pick interesting looking grasses, with seed heads intact and bunch them into 4” wide 12 “ tall stand up decorations – just by tying a Christmas ribbon around them in the middle. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. These make nice gifts too. Save On Gifts And Wrapping.

It’s not hard for me (anymore) to avoid expensive stores or fast fashion sites such as Shein and Temu, and instead shop at thrift stores or use my local BuyNothing group. Easiest: Giving up things that don’t align with my personal values. Hardest: I find it hard to balance saving money with making memories.
