At that time, I had not reviewed my own spring clothing and I have plenty of time to go back to Target if I can’t find something suitable (and cute) at the thrift store. Make a list of what you need and take it along to your favorite thrift store FIRST before you go to a regular store.

To save money, I started sun-brewing tea on hot sunny summer days. for a box of 48 tea bags and save almost $10 for the same amount of tea. We like green tea and on occasion I substitute 2-4 regular tea bags with flavored tea bags. At an average of $2.00 a gallon, the cost adds up when you drink a couple of gallons a week.
