Decide today to change the way you think about spending...

Decide today that you are going to visit just one resale shop to find that black sweater (0r whatever you need) instead of going to Macy's. Believe me, I do this and I have been so fortunate to find just what I was looking for. Time and time again this has happened where I would have found something at Macy's, but wouldn't pay the $50 dollars or more. I would invest a little more time to go to one or two resale shops and found a beautiful sweater that was twice the quality and $5.00. Yes, only $5.00 or even less!
It's worth it...especially now with the economy. Change the way you think and start saving huge $$.

It takes time and creative energy...

I try to go to as many local resale shops as I can, mostly so that I can let friends and family know if it's worth the trip. I don't waste my time at places that aren't in good areas of town or if they aren't clean. This makes a huge difference in the quality of the items you will find. I have a list in my head of things I'm looking for. Usually this list includes things that I need for clients that are moving into new apartments or for family and friends. I am always looking for things that I can add to my treasures in my house or office. But, that isn't my number one goal!
I am seriously cleaning and organizing my home!!! That means I am donating like crazy to a local resale shop that gives their profits to homeless and needy children. They have a super clean store and the employees are very helpful! This store also has deals different days of the week. Mondays are 50% on women's items...etc. Some resale shops only offer discounts to senior citizens...and I don't fit that category...yet!
I love to brag about the items that I have gotten and also have convinced many friends that going resale is not a bad thing. Your not going to a garage sale (although I love doing that too, but not as much anymore).
Going Resale is a fabulous thing! It has saved me hundreds of dollars!

Start saving today!

For years my friends have told me...you need to write a book. I have an uncanny ability to find bargains, use coupons, barter, you name it.
I hope to use this site to share my creative savings with you.
I also look forward to hearing about how you save or make your dollars go further.
Thank you!
