For me, going to sales is not just a means to find things I need at rock bottom prices, it is also entertainment. 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. My ribbon however came from a garage sale.

To me, frugal implies using resources in the wisest fashion and cheap implies a specific focus on getting the lowest price. I routinely find White Stag, Ann Taylor, Cabellos, Columbia and etc brand clothing that is like new and in my size- usually priced around $4 a piece. Help me out, am I being cheap or just smart about money?

Aside from the mortgage, we also added equipment and renovation loans with the purchase, and we had a student loan. This side hustle income was mainly used for the fun stuff, such as camping, home renovations & repairs, and needs for our kids. Years ago, our cable bill doubled in price. What could possibly go wrong?

I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell. My kids tend to be dying of thirst when we’re standing in line at a store that conveniently has a display of over-priced refrigerated water at the check out line. Cash flow necessary business expenses and renovations.
