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.

In April, we saved quite a bit of money by comparison shopping, and choosing thrift first. We Shopped for New Home Owners/Auto Insurance. I had not shopped around for home owners and auto insurance quotes in YEARS. April’s Thrift Store Finds. My next stop was my favorite thrift store, Community Aid.

The challenge on the blog this year is to Choose Thrift First , where we’re rethinking our purchases to find more cost effective solutions. 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. He has no qualms about much.

I stopped by my two favorite thrift stores last week: Salvation Army & Community Aid, a local store. I only go on Wednesdays, because both stores offer an additional 50% off on almost everything. Finally, spring has arrived in central PA, so I carved out some time last Wednesday to hit the thrift stores.

Being self-employed, we felt we needed more than Dave’s recommended $1000 starter emergency fund that he outlines in his book, so our first step was to save a bit more for our home and office. Also, we needed to make some much-needed repairs to our home and office that really couldn’t wait until we paid off six figures.

Home decor, costumes for the kiddies (and adults!), Once the kids left home, we ended up with zero trick or treaters at our house on a state highway. We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). What are the typical essentials? pumpkins, haunted houses and parties abound.

My 5 year old grand daughter did it last year in my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp. Some retail stores do still give out gift boxes for free, always check if you are buying in a brick and mortar store. Shop garage sales and thrift stores and estate sales. Make your own gift boxes using Origami. Ask for gift boxes.
