Buying preowned merchandise is often frugal &#8212; unless you buy something you don&#8217;t need or can&#8217;t use. When you come across what appears to be a good bargain, it&#8217;s tough to decide whether to grab it or walk away. Ask yourself the following before buying:

Buying used isn&#8217;t for everyone, and that&#8217;s terrific news. That means there&#8217;s more for the rest of us.

While some people will continue to buy things new, many admit they wish they hadn&#8217;t wasted the money. 
Let&#8217;s consider everything you&#8217;ve bought brand shiny ...]]></description>

(read: different than the twitchy from change jinglers) It&#8217;s my &#8220;me time&#8221; and I&#8217;ve found that when I don&#8217;t carve out that time for myself, the upcoming week can be almost unbearable. Not for me, but for those around me. lol

		<description><![CDATA[Before I share my thrift store table that I&#8217;m faux painting, I wanted to show you my vase and tumbler I picked up yesterday at the thrift store.

The vase will go on my kitchen window sill with my miniature colored bottles that I use as vases.

As some of you know, I&#8217;ve been a minimalist for years. I&#8217;m changing my views a bit in some areas. One of those areas are my walls. I&#8217;m determined to have pictures on all the walls in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you saving your hard-earned money by shopping at thrift stores? Why pay retail when you can purchase many items secondhand for the fraction of the cost? No one knows it's previously owned, unless you're like I am and many others that LOVE bragging how we got an item for a steal! It's a definite way to ease your budget and environmentally friendly too. Shopping secondhand is like a treasure hunt. It takes time to learn how to bargain shop, but you can become a money-saving thrift store shopper by planning ahead and being prepared]]></description>
