Another benefit is that I am cutting the governments out of the loop – there no sales taxes on used stuff (except big things of course, like boats or cars). Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. I used it for years and sold it – for $25 – last summer in my own garage sale.

Think ahead to what entertainment and travel you might do. She also loves to go to garage sales and most of her small gifts are loot from her bargains at the sales. If you garage sale, look for those decorations! Save Money and Plan Now for Holiday Spending. It is her way to celebrate the holidays.

The Frugal Girl

There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing. Do you have any tips for frugal travel or vacations? We don’t travel much anymore, so I enjoy reading everyone else’s tricks. But generally, most things have gone up in cost. Similar to many others, we pack snacks & cook on trips.

Consider organizing a garage sale or using online platforms to sell unwanted items. This includes moving company fees, packing supplies, travel expenses, and any deposits or fees for your new home. Decluttering can also have financial benefits. Start by listing all potential costs associated with the move.

I keep a roll of heavy paper (which I buy at Home Depot for about $11 for a roll about 2 inches thick and 2 feet wide) to use in wrapping packages, protecting floors during home projects, making garage sale signs and etc. I will probably use an old garage sale board game as the base, and just glue the printed game mat to it.
Family Balance Sheet

San Antonio, Texas is our home when we aren’t traveling the world. We have always loved to travel and do missions work for our church. We realized that we wanted to travel as a family and the only thing keeping us from seeing the world was money. We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales.

As a young mom, I saved like mad – going to garage sales, thrift stores and accepting hand me downs on toys and clothing. As a well salaried professional, I started spending again – on home remodeling, on college expenses for the kids and on travel.
