Family Balance Sheet

FEBRUARY 26, 2015

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. I made one trip to my favorite thrift store during their dollar days sale. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

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? How did you do in February?

In 2015, the monthly challenge will be Choose Thrift First. 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. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

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. I think I’ll survive.

Choose Thrift First Challenge. In 2014, the Grocery Budget Challenge encouraged us to keep our grocery spending in line and to be creative with our meal planning so that we do not over-spend. In 2015, the monthly challenge will be the Choose Thrift First Challenge. I’ll go into more detail in an upcoming post.
