Prairie Eco-Thrifter

OCTOBER 20, 2014

I’ve a 16 year old side by side refrigerator/freezer that works perfectly, looks great and still fits style wise in my kitchen. Good thing we have that emergency fund because this won’t be cheap to fix. Perhaps you are willing to tolerate an item that works partially rather than fixing or replacing that item.

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 26, 2016

I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. So those new boots I want will have to wait, and besides I have two pairs that will get me through another winter. I think I’ll survive.

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 17, 2018

I want to challenge myself to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. We do budget for dining out and this year, we will need to be more diligent about staying within that budget. Choose Thrift First. 2017 Update.
