The Bargain Hunter Extraordinaire

JANUARY 21, 2010

As much as I would love to be able to take credit for the inspiration behind this outfit, I can not because that would be taking credit where credit is not due. Also, this is my "new" thrifted Gap cardigan that I thrifted last weekend at the Goodwill. I pinned my hair back and I was ready to face the day.

Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. Frugal gifting. Gifts don’t have to cost a lot of money. Look for ways to do it cheaply, by making a gift. Stop using your credit cards. And if you rent, save money and then invest the difference. Drink water.

Thank you notes were hand written and sent via USPS, before we got to use the gift. Christmas gifts were precious, opened one at a time taking turns, and then examined by everyone present before the next guy got to open theirs. Neighbors knew each other. Kids addressed adult neighbors as Mr or Mrs so and so, not by first name.

You may call it by other names such as prudence , sparingnes s and thrift , whatever your choice may be it always means the unwillingness to squander goods and spend money unnecessarily. With the holidays only a few months away I don't want to get caught short on time, money or gifts. Frugality.

Acadia’s advice is to be creative and think about your talents and gifts and how you could use them to make extra money. There are things we had to do that made us look weird: home school, skip eating out as much with family, doing my own hair & nails, getting a wardrobe from the thrift store and forgoing paper towels.
