You can defray some of your clothing costs by shopping for deals at used clothing stores or thrift stores. Even if you do not have any growing children, buying clothing at thrift stores is a great way to cut costs. Even small thrift stores can be overwhelming, and it is best to have a plan before you go.

And the first item on the list was a new dresser for our younger daughter. I checked some local furniture stores to check the prices of new dressers. While I LOVE to shop at thrift stores, the thought of going to a stranger’s home was a bit scary to me– a former 24/7 news junkie.

In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money. At the beginning of the month, we were in the market for a bedroom dresser because my youngest daughter’s dresser fell apart over the holidays. Daughter and mommy were both thrilled.

While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target or Kohl’s when I’m in that part of town. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store.

The old cabinets, faucets, furniture and drapes go on the block. Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. Large model doll house complete with furniture – $75. Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity.
