Family Balance Sheet

OCTOBER 15, 2013

In the month of October, my challenge will be to find $1000. Mondays thru Saturdays in October, I will have ideas to help you find $1000 too. Wednesday is my favorite day of week and not because it’s HUMP day–i t’s 50% off day at my favorite thrift store. . I have nothing against retail stores.

There is an initial investment, but I have seen similiar containers at yard sales or thrift stores and at Bed Bath and Beyond where they regularly offer 20% coupons.

Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. Their sale happened to fall on a rainy, cold October day and the weather cut into the sale proceeds dramatically. You move on. You will leave this life with no stuff.

It was a SCORCHER for October. This bag is a GREAT thrift store score. The one I bought is more costume-y, but the one Nathan bought me is so lovely I have not been able to stop wearing it: So pretty!~ But let’s see what I wore, shall we? I have no idea why I thought I would need a cardigan.
