WALK INS are ALWAYS welcome at your Local THRIFT Store

http://mycrazylifeasanavywife.blogspot.com/

Hello and welcome back once again to my blog. today I want to talk about thrift stores. I LOVE LOVE LOVE shopping at thrift stores. I have saved tons of money for our military family by shopping frugal, clipping coupons and being prepared. I was once one of those people who NEVER wanted to go in a thrift store. I never really understood their purpose or the benefit of shopping there.

My way of thinking concerning thrift stores changed dramatically when I decided to quit my job at the hospital and become a stay-at-home mom. I had to re-think meals, bills and clothes shopping in a way that made us comfortable. Thrift store shopping is definitely not for everyone. Some people can not imagine having hand me downs. That is their own personal opinion and I respect that. This Navy wife has made the art of shopping at thrift stores a joy.

Most Saturdays you will find me around Jacksonville or St. Augustine Florida thrift shopping. My absolute best place is Salvation Army but my love for Goodwill is a close second. I really feel great supporting my local thrift stores because of all the great programs that they offer my community.

 I look forward to two things on the weekend and that's spending time with my family and the shopping at thrift stores. When you don't have a lot of money to splurge with, Head over to a thrift store in your area and see what all the fuss is about. I have saved a substantial amount of money over the years by thrifty shopping.

Many military families are faced with major financial problems due to over-spending and stretching their budgets in unrealistic directions. The solution is not just the thrift store, its a new way of thinking. I simply find that if you cut back on several areas of your budget, it frees up for more savings and absolute PEACE of mind.

There are 5 benefits that I find solace in when I shop at thrift stores: 

 1. I am helping the community in    
     which I live.  
2.  I feel less stress and less 
     pressure when I am SHOPPING at a thrift store. 
3.  Finding treasures and fixing  
     them up is quite satisfying and 
     saves money.

4.  I am teaching my children that   
     "NEW" is not always better and 
     that saving should always be a 
     priority. 
5.  A better relationship with my 
     husband. We no longer have     
     any disputes about money, 
     ONLY on ways I have saved him 
     money.

 I pray that you are finding ways to stretch the money in your budget. There is always a way to do things better so keep trying and find what brings you JOY. Until next time God Bless and I will be praying for you.
