One of the money saving tips I can’t stress enough is to utilize less expensive stores for things you need. Stores like Goodwill aren’t just less expensive for you, the profits are utilized to help your local community. Why get a new shirt for $25 at the Gap, or even $15 at Wal-Mart when you can go get a lightly used one at Goodwill for $5? This is even more true when you have children that outgrow things faster than they wear them out!
Sense To Save posted an entry that points out that more middle-class people are shopping at thrift stores. Could the stigma of buying used finally be declining? Society has had quite an excess for a while and it has had quite a cost.
