Home owners get bored and re-decorate or re-vamp their homes. I can park my car and walk from sale to sale, getting a bit of exercise, enjoying the fine weather and seeing the architecture and landscaping of the homes along the way. Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales.

Although Mom didn’t sew much (she did mend), she made sure I took Home Ec in high school. For those with the desire and aptitude to design clothing or home decorations or craft items and then make them, sewing is an avocation and a delight, and sometimes even a business. Sewing today has dropped out of main stream life.

We put in new windows this year at our 1985 home. There are just two of us at home now. Plus, the styles that fit are usually made by the high end manufacturers and carried in exclusive (expensive) clothing stores. Help me out, am I being cheap or just smart about money? I save tape and paper and old paint drop sheets.

While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something. 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. Save a starter Home Emergency Fund.
