Choose Thrift First Challenge – March Meeting

Family Balance Sheet

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. But I also found success at a thrift store. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

Introducing the 2015 Choose Thrift First Challenge

Family Balance Sheet

So for 2015, I want to challenge myself and you, to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. 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.

Our Big Financial Goal for 2016

Family Balance Sheet

Choose Thrift First. I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. This will be a struggle and I’ll need to remind myself daily why I’m doing this.
