When it comes to being frugal, there are affordable ways to save money and still get new (to you) things.
First, you want to check if there is a way you can get what you need for free. Ask family and friends. Check local giving groups in your area.
If free is not an option, check to see if you can buy what you need pre-owned.
Buying objects pre-owned can help you realize your goals for a lower cost, whatever those goals may be.
Pre-owned objects can be just as nice as new, and when you shop pre-owned for your household items, sometimes you walk away with a surprise - a better quality item than the one you would’ve purchased new.
Meaning, when you shop for goods pre-owned, it is possible to get a whole lot more for your money as many people donate nice things to thrift stores.
This fact alone is what makes thrift shopping both fun, and seem an everyday backyard adventure.
If your backyard happens to be the Montgomery County and Bucks County region of Pennsylvania, and you’re looking for a new thrift shop to check out, below are our picks:
