Tuesday's Frugal Tip

Never be afraid to shop thrift stores or garage sales, you never know what great things you will find!

Mom and I love going to a few different church garage sales around home every year. This year, I found some gorgeous clothes in great conditions, $3 a piece! And a couple dresses that I've worn to weddings, $7.50 (for a BCBG dress- you would never find anything that price in the store) and $10!

What was one of you best thrift store/garage sale finds??

Tuesday's Frugal Tip

Turn off and unplg electronics and appliances when they aren't in use. You'd be surprised how much energy they use when just being plugged in!

Tuesday's Frugal Tip

Bring your own re-usable bags when shopping.

(Our Target has recently started taking 5 cents off your total purchase per re-usable bag that you bring and use.)

Tuesday's Frugal Tip

When buying a sale item, buy enough to last 12 weeks. This is the typical amount of time for sales to cycle through.
