Family Balance Sheet

MAY 6, 2020

Life, as we knew it came to a halt for so many of us in mid-March, and life going forward will forever be known as pre-pandemic or post-pandemic. March 2020 arrived. On Friday, March 13th, the PA Governor shut down schools and closed non-essential businesses. Everything changed. The Pandemic hit our state and country.

While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans. At first, I thought my eyes were deceiving me, so I marched right into the DSW to see what shoes I could find around $49. I won’t need to buy jeans for a few years. $20 Yes, please!

In March, I added $70 in $1 bills that I had been setting aside for the past year. We didn’t sell much, mainly because I didn’t think we were going to be home for the neighborhood yard sale this year and I took a van full of stuff to the thrift store about a month before the yard sale. I added the check to our savings.

It’s March 1, and I declare it Mindful March. 5 Action Steps for a Mindful March: 1 – Write a budget/spending plan for March. Review your actual spending for January and February and choose one category to really focus on in March. This will be my mindful category in March. 5 – Find Extra Cash.

I live in the Midwest with my fiancé (soon to be husband in March!), My wedding dress, thrifted! It’s not hard for me (anymore) to avoid expensive stores or fast fashion sites such as Shein and Temu, and instead shop at thrift stores or use my local BuyNothing group. What frugal tips have you tried and abandoned?

Be willing to sacrifice- there are things we had to do that made us look weird: home school, skip eating out as much with family, doing my own hair & nails, getting a wardrobe from the thrift store and forgoing paper towels. I had a client engagement in Las Vegas in March 2014. We still look for bargains and shop at thrift stores.
