[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 148687, member: 1233"] We are major tightwads. I have ALWAYS (since before marriage) liked to make my own stuff, shop thrift stores and garage sales. I don't have many garage sales, but most of our "stuff" comes from them. Now I am working estate sales, esp the last day where we can pick what we want for free from the leftovers. I strongly recommend the Top Secret Recipes books, the tightwad Gazette 3 in 1 volume, and a book called Cheaper and Better. they are older books mostly, and not found used much, but worth the ebay or half.com price. My kids think it is strange to buy clothes at regular prices, even clearance walmart prices are higher than they think is good. I did have to drive thank you to school today because there was a thunderstorm when the time came to leave for the bus, but he LOVES the bus. (This is the 8yo, NOT difficult child). Susie [/QUOTE]
