Couponing 101

NOVEMBER 1, 2019

Thrift shopping is making a comeback and we are loving it! That being said, in-person thrift stores aren’t always ideal. Some may not have a good thrift shop in their community, while others may prefer the convenience of shopping online. Oftentimes, you can make more on the sale than your originally spent!

As I am trying to choose thrift first when it comes to purchases for my family and our home, I realized once again recently that my local, friendly thrift store rarely lets me down. Armed with a mental list of things that I needed to keep my eye open for, I headed to the store on Wednesday for the 50% off sale.

Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. My best finds. A wheel barrow – free.
