Family Balance Sheet
JANUARY 29, 2015
In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money. At the beginning of the month, we were in the market for a bedroom dresser because my youngest daughter’s dresser fell apart over the holidays. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

January will be one giant nightmare when the credit card bills start rolling in. Back in 2013, I had a year-long series, Christmas Savings Club , to encourage everyone to set aside money each month for the holidays. We paid for many of our Christmas purchases on a credit card and then hustled in January 2013 to pay it off.

For many, the end of the year holiday shopping frenzy can override our saner, more thrifty selves. Spending our precious and all too limited time searching online and in stores. What should you wait to buy until after the holidays? Most claimed that the holiday sales were of no-name TVs. I know I do. Brand name TVs.

While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target or Kohl’s when I’m in that part of town. 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. The Choose Thrift First Challenge.
