Holiday time can be fun, but so very expensive and consequently stressful. Amidst the frantic schedules we keep all year long, the extra tasks thrown in for the holidays and all those expectations, sometimes we are just glad when it is all over. Save On Holiday Decorating. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop.

It is like stores know how much we love getting our homes festive and so they put out décor at high prices, hoping that consumers won’t know any better and will just snatch it up. Then, apply coat of inexpensive black, orange, or purple spray paint. Get spraying!

We were hoping for an easy (and inexpensive) fix, and we were certainly not expecting this news. I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. Research the store’s return policy for unused purchases without a receipt if you don’t have it.
