Happy Happy 2016!!!! So many of you have been busy staying consistent with your New Years resolutions and whatnots. Quit smoking, eat healthier, get into shape etc. etc. Well...how about adding Save More Money to your list!!!
I know I know easier said than done, right?
What if I told you I have a sure fire way to help keep those pockets of yours fuller and happier this year! You're intrigued...keep reading 😃
Now that I have your attention I want to share 5 ways the thrift stores can change your life and the way you shop forever!!!
Are you ready?!?!?! Ok ok...
1. Perspective- You must take everything you thought you knew about thrift stores and throw it out! Thrift stores are not just filled with a bunch of old junk from smelly old basements. Look at it as used treasures. A diamond in the rough even. A simple switch in perspective can change everything.
2. New Goods- Goodwill as well as tons of other thrift stores are filled with new items! Yes tags still attached never used before items. The best part is you pay a fraction of the original price.
3. Growing Pains- Let's face it. Kids grow like weeds! Literally you can buy your kid a pair of jeans and by the end of the month they have completely outgrown them. With 4 little ones, I experience this often. Why not save your money and instead of buying a pair of jeans at the mall for about $30-$40 and up, grab a pair from your local thrift store for about $5-$7bucks! You do the math...
4.Name Brand- Shopping at thrift stores does not equal "frumpy". You won't look like your walking around in "hand me downs". Trust me people think I pay a lot more for my clothes than I actually do. I find tons of highend name brands all the time. Just to name drop a few...I've found Dior, Kate Spade, Northface and tons more!
5.Target- So I've kept the best money saving secret for last. How many of you have an addiction to the store Target? Come on be honest. Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery(hehehe). I haven't met many women whom haven't deemed Target their "happy place"! Well guess what?!?! Goodwill carries New items from Target!!! Yes you heard me right. Clothing, swim wear, baby items, furniture, shoes, jewlery, and so much more! It's all new with tags in "new condition" for a fraction of the regular price! You can't beat that!!!
Saving money doesn't mean one must compromise her style. You can have the "best of both worlds". Trust me...your husbands and wallets will thank you later!
Happy Thrifting!!!💜
I loved this!! And never knew about the items that are new from Target!! My goal is to do better this year and this is a sure fire way of accomplishing that goal!
