Instead, you may want to check out thrift stores or buy classic, high-quality items that will last longer. Thanks for reading! Rather, it's about making choices that align with your values. For example, you need not go for expensive brands and the latest trends whenever you shop. This material comes from Motherhood Moment.

For example, we’re very accustomed to buying anything we can second-hand at thrift stores, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace. Gretchen, thanks so much for participating! We’ve saved so much money over the years shopping that way. I am super impressed by your gardening skills, and wow, your cut flowers are gorgeous.

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. It has been my obsession goal since we found ourselves in a dicey situation back in August 2013.

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. We still look for bargains and shop at thrift stores. Tell people about what you are doing.

As soon as I saw them I was reminded of Sal’s tutorial video which I don’t remember in full, but I do remember coming away with the idea that I could get a statement necklace look by buying at the thrift store.

They just didn't look right with anything I tried but that's because they need to be worn with something either fitted (no thanks) or tucked in, and I never tucked anything in. I've had those shorts for a while now but never wore them. Something I learned during the 30x30 is that I CAN and SHOULD tuck blouses in sometimes.
