    Default Thrift Week

    Anyone else heard of "Thrift Week" before? I just ran across the topic in a book I read...

    Didn't realize there was a "National Thrift Week" that used to be celebrated.

    Here are some links:

    Bring Back Thrift Week

    Seems like it would sure be a great thing to have as part of our society, once again!

    Wow, I've never heard of it before. I can't imagine them teaching this at schools now. But imagine if they did!

    Sounds like a great idea to me. I think a lot of young people have no idea what thrift or frugality means.
