Surviving on Shoestrings: My Top Ten Things to NEVER buy NEW 

Again with a top ten!  My top ten things to NEVER buy NEW really came out of one of my weekly trips to a thrift store.  I realized how easy it is to ‘go get a new_____’ when something breaks or we think we need it.  I’ll admit to often having that as my first though.  But I have, over the years, come up with at least ten (10) things I will never buy new – ever again!  I’ll share them with you in this show and tell you why they made my list!

Best Blessings & EnJOY the show,

Reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle. That's not only good planet stewardship but it's also a budget friendly way to live. Before you throw out what looks like trash, think if there are any unique and thrifty ways that you can reuse an item before it heads to a landfill. I've save a lot of money on other items simply by looking at things a little differently before they head for the garbage bin.
