I don't know about you, but I like to shop at Thrift stores from time to time (it is too hot in Houston for garage sale shopping for me). I like Craigslist, but sometimes there are the same items at Thrift stores if you can find the time to go. Now I have a confession to make, I used to think Goodwill stores were a step below the thrift store (so to speak). This is where it comes from...I moved to Houston in 1979, my dad lost his job in Arizona when they laid him off, he worked in the mines. The economy was a lot like it is today, so we packed up the car and moved to Houston to live with my Grandmother. We didn't have anything, we slept on the floor (it was fun), and we had to go the Salvation Army for our clothes. I used to get picked on at school because kids knew I had "Goodwill" clothes. (yes this is where it started, I never corrected them) In essence though, I learend that it was cost effective to purchase second hand clothes, but I was reluctant to go to Godwill or the Salvation Army.
These are the little things that I have done to save money and the experiences I've had doing so.
