, or you can do like I did this time and just keep it in the fridge and make sure it all gets eaten within the next week or so.
But until recently, I hadn’t been in over a year.They say you should pop in every week so you don’t miss out on a great find, but I find that every time I go, I come back with boat loads of fun stuff.
So that’s part of the reason I hadn’t been.I just bring back too much clutter.And spend way too much, even though it’s all relatively cheap..
The other reason is that I’m still a little freaked out by thrift stores sometimes.I know we all do it, but when I go in, I always feel like everyone’s watching me.
“What’s she doing here?
This isn’t a place for her.” “Why is she pacing up and down the aisles like that?” And what if I run into someone I know in this small town on my way in?In our previous market, this same property just outside the city limits would have been millions of dollars.
Just a few hours down the road though, this property was much much less than the tiny townhouse with almost no yard that we’d been living in.There are a lot of other financial benefits that often come with living in a more rural setting like less traffic, less of a commute to work, lower costs on consumer goods and services.
The savings on these things alone can mean that if you’re in a couple, one of you may not need to bring in an income anymore..Create some savings.
