In this episode, we discuss running our households with frugality and answer the question of whether or not you can be trendy on a budget.  Buying secondhand certainly comes with some stigma.  Is it possible to bypass feeling “poor” by changing our perspectives on how and why we make purchases?

Where do we shop on strict budgets, and how do we make sure it fits our lifestyles.  Should you buy new things for your kids while they’re growing like weeds?

Memorable Quote: 

“All of the things people compliment me on come from other people’s garbage.”

“When you come from a place of scarcity when you’re young, you have a hard time letting go of stuff as an adult because “maybe you’ll need it”.

“When you come from an overcrowded house, you feel even more broke”

“Buy quality over quantity - but the quality isn’t indicated by its source.” 

“Because I got it for a bargain, in my head it doesn’t equate to “nice”.”

“It’s none of your business what other people think about you.”p
