Challenge #79: Being Thirfty & Save!

One of my favorite holidays is right around the corner and I love shopping for Easter. The adorable dresses, hats, sweater vest...you name and I want to dress my kids, husband and myself up in smashing outfits for Easter.  A person could easily drop $300 on clothing for this one day eggstravaganza!  To be a RicherU and gain momentum in your finances today's challenge will help you stretch your dollar when it comes to Easter shopping.

Today's Challenge: Instead of going department store--HIT THE THRIFT SHOP!  Not only can you find great gently used items but you can also fine new things too. 

Kids grow so fast so be conscience of the funds you are dropping on clothing that will only be good for a few short months. Be smart and check out your local thrift shop/Goodwill before hitting the mall or department store.  Be sure to set a budget and I bet you can cut it in half by making your first stop a second hand shop.

People often think that saving money is the meaning of thrift, 

but in actuality thrift is equally about reducing waste: 

conserve water, reduce food waste, and find ways to use your time 

and money more wisely.
