I love finding new or like new condition items at goodwill!! I found a brand new wreck this journal for $2.99 they’re $9.99 at target. I also found a book I think she’ll like for $2.99 also! I found a vintage caboodle for $1.99 and got some lipgloss and little makeup from dollar tree or should I say $1.25 tree!! I’m always on the lookout for great deals! My daughter will be 12 January 3rd!

I absolutely love this! I love your tips. I live in tiny town usa and have to travel 2 hours to a thrift store or target (and everything else haha) so I'm going to stop in there next month when we are in the city for my son's last orthodontist appointment! I probably won't be there again before Christmas so I'm praying to find some treasures ❤ This summer I'm busy selling my old curriculum to purchase curriculum for the upcoming school year. I'm using ibota & upside apps to save a few pennies here and there that I can roll over into my Christmas budget. I'd absolutely love for our library to do a puzzle or board game swap, I'm going to suggest it.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS.

Now is great time to teach son to not take things that aren’t his. Make sure you sterilize the play food coming from a thrift store. Even if you save 25.00 from each pay ( twice a month) you’ll have 600 for Christmas! Get the kids what they want. It may be a dumb plastic house to you but not to the boy. Just a thought
@ourthriftyhomeschool Жыл бұрын
That’s true, if you have that extra money that’s a great idea to set it aside. Personally, I don’t have any interest in giving my kids a $600 Christmas. They’re very grateful for what they get and the Lord has blessed us, so we probably won’t be changing things.
